    Cheaper, easier to work with, melts at lower temps, flows better, take your pick.

    That being said, why they aren’t spot welded is a mystery. I suppose solder is a better connection, but still. Why take the chance?

      Looking at the lead from this link someone posted below - that isn’t something you can spot weld. Generally I’d say soldering can create air/liquid tight seals, spot welding can’t.
