Inductive vs. Resistive Hand Soldering Systems

There are two main types of hand soldering systems:

1. Adjustable-temperature resistive systems, and

2. Fixed-temperature inductive systems.

Each type offers advantages and disadvantages. However, a third type of soldering system has emerged:

3. Inductive soldering with adjustable temperature control.

This new technology is the basis of METCALTM brand patented GT series hand soldering solutions that combine the advantages of adjustable temperature with inductive heating technology. And it offers the best-in-class hand soldering performance available.
