azkay__ | Well that was annoying. Bought new solder the other day, as mine wasn't really working. Not flux core or something? And didn't have any flux | 10:48 |
---|---|---|
azkay__ | Anyway, new solder came. I got it a little thicker than the last and my iron doesn't want to melt it unless I leave it on (too long) | 10:48 |
azkay__ | ): | 10:48 |
eintopf | is it true that Ta, which is required for tantal capacitors isn't available (as resource) in 2020 anymore? | 12:55 |
eintopf | I saw that in tv, was about smartphones producing | 12:56 |
whitequark | eintopf: no, it's not true | 15:00 |
whitequark | we have at least 110000 t of economically extractable Ta | 15:01 |
whitequark | the yearly consumption is about 1000 t | 15:01 |
whitequark | (excluding recycled) | 15:02 |
eintopf | whitequark: but these tantal capacitors are also not good ones? | 17:13 |
whitequark | huh? | 18:15 |
whitequark | what's not good about them? | 18:15 |
Action: DocScrutinizer05 wonders how hard it can be to get some decent solder wire | 21:58 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and the thinner the better usually | 21:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and I can't think of solder wire so think that a standard soldering iron _cannot_melt_it_ | 21:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | whitequark: maybe eintopf refers to the coltan political issues? | 22:01 |
whitequark | oh | 22:01 |
whitequark | no, most of the reserves are in Brazil | 22:01 |
