Soldering a wire onto a metal sheet



Does anyone have suggestions for soldering a wire onto a thin metal sheet? I tried soldering directly by placing the wire and adding some solder over it, but the wire keeps on getting separated from the metallic sheet. I thought about putting a hole and putting a screw through or something similar, But the metallic part that I want to solder onto, is just a thin metal strip on a large sheet. Any suggestions?



Answer



It sounds like the solder isn't wetting the sheet. Application of a small amount of flux in order to clean the sheet should do it.
