When wire conductors are coated with solder, what is the process called?

  1. Fluxing

  2. Fusing

  3. Stripping

  4. Tinning

The correct answer is: Tinning

When wire conductors are coated with solder, it is called tinning. Tinning is the process of applying a thin layer of solder to a metal surface in order to improve its solderability and protect it from corrosion. Fluxing (option A) is the process of cleaning and preparing the surface for soldering. Fusing (option B) is the joining of two metal surfaces by melting them together. Stripping (option C) is the process of removing the insulation from wire conductors. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all incorrect in the context of the given question.
