I randomly looked at this video and found some comments. I do think this is probably lead-free solder, but I am fairly sure it was marketed as 60/40. This video has much better detail of fake solder, and definitely says 60/40 on the reel: ruclips.net/video/5Ku7I3hA3AA/видео.html
That's lead free. I had same problem with a small amount of 60/40 I bought for testing. The chinese market is badly contaminated and I would advice against buying chinese solder. The BEST brand is supposed to be good, but it isn't that much cheaper than local stuff. Then, there is the risk of fake on the chinese brand. We should all stop buying chinese solder and let those clowns go bankrupt.
I have been buying Solder Wire for electronic soldering from AliExpress sellers in China and recently realized I have been scammed every time. I noticed this time when I ordered as a 100 gram roll, i removed al the solder wire and measured it on a scale and found that the 100grams of wire were actually 34.12 grams of wire and the plastic spool reel was weighted heavy to make it seem like it was 100grams. Then I took my prior orders of 50 Grams Solder wire and repeated the test and found they were not 50 but actually 30 grams of solder. Comparing this to price per actual pound it is costing more than to find an American brand located n the USA. Anyone buying Solder Wire be aware chinese brands are not posting their actual weights and you should compare the price per ounce and not what they are telling you.
Bollocks I had issues with this piece of shit solder, destroyed a board thinking I was doing something wrong. Switched to a lead free solder, flowed like heavens
this for hard component type...not easy to melt...😅 like cpu..strong mosfet...low temp melt good for smd..not fake...fake is mean we make solder tin with paper😅 or someting...
I mean if it's just for soldering automotive wires together the cheap stuff performs rather well as long you got a 60-100W Iron 🤷🏻♂️ but for circuit boards it's gonna be annoying
At 400c, the insulation would melt. It can be seen in the video it performed badly lumpy and costed considerably more effort and time. On circuit boards, it would destroy components.
Cheap china iron with cheap china copper tip did wonders for me. I went from not being able to solder for 10's of years to soldering like a youtube pro.
Thats is not fake that solder have more pb and not shine and need more heat to liquid. In circuits shiny will be oxid with air soon and dosn,t good for computer chipsets because in lowest tempreture work converts to liquid and oxid , that green solder is better
Do you actually have a clue? All my old computer parts have shiny solder on them. Even the recent direct from china boards have shiny solder on them. Manufacturers don't use the green junk.

Thanks for the advice , even this end in the third world we really suffer with this fake solder and solder braids/wick

It's not fake, it's lead free, lead free melts at a much higher temperature and the dull finish is correct for LF solder.
It's made from solder dross, nothing to do with leadfree. Eww.
if says 60/40 cant be lf unless is fake , so ....
Yeah computer chipsets use that one to work longly lead free dosent good either not fake also is better one

Yes, green sticker is lead free.
@@superpooper_2030 lead free converts to lequid quickly your wrong the other ones are lead free also lead free is more expensive

mix that bad solder, with a bad iron, and i have been dealing with that for years, not being able to solder anything.

Cool. thanks. Are there fake Electroly soldering lead/wire?
Thanks.

Well, next time be a smarter buyer. Never buy solder wire without the company name or brand. Those without name are recycled solder wire
I've been using this fake one everyday now I know it's a fake one argh😠😅
