Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is a hot air gun?
A hot air gun, also known as a heat gun, is a device that does exactly what you would expect based on its name. It produces hot air, which is then distributed based on its intended usage. A traditional heat gun is similar in appearance to a hairdryer, although it is much different in terms of reaching higher temperatures and how heat is more centralized in its distribution. Due to the high temperatures produced, it is essential all users take necessary precautions to avoid potential injuries.
What are heat guns used for?
A heat gun is a versatile tool that is used in many different ways across various industries. They are a must-have tool for any workshop setting, as they can help with the likes of stripping paint, welding and manipulating plastic and shrink-wrap packaging. It is even a handy tool to have for household tasks such as removing wallpaper or thawing frozen pipes.
Plastic welding is one of the most prevalent heat gun applications. Users take two separate pieces of compatible plastic, and they use the heat gun to melt the surfaces of the plastic to form a bond.
How do you use a heat gun for soldering?
Heat guns can be a suitable tool for soldering certain types of metal. If you have a heat gun with an adjustable temperature that goes above 400°C, it can be handy for use with soft solder such as copper. Yet especially powerful hot air tools, such as the ELECTRON ST, can produce temperatures up to 650°C. This makes it viable for use with other metals like iron. The process of soldering with a heat gun is not too dissimilar from the process when welding plastic, and it is often used for this purpose when working with circuit board components.
