Hello,

When someone equated soldering to that of salt dissoving in water, it threw
me for a loop.  Now I am wondering if someone willing to explain how an
inter-metallic bond is formed when one of the metals (Ni, in the example
below) is not in a liquid state?


Thank you in advance,

David
Actually it is a dissolution process very similar to the salt and water
example.
