Anthony: I appreciate your comments and your concerns about his method. I have done this method the same way mentioned in this article and i never had issue with metlting soldering joints...before I soldering the two wires together I just make sure it has good connection, twist the wirese together as much as possible and then do the soldering, I never had a complain from the customers. have a blessed day

And as for you Anthony Paterson, your comments are well worth noting.

Agree with Mr. Anthony Paterson.
We have been using his method every time when the connectors were short circuited to ground but never soldered as being risky of melting solder.

Imoudu, in soldering it is usual to use minimal solder and ensure good electrical connectivity. However, in this task 'the bigger the blob the better the job' My worry is that the temperatures inside the magnetron could be high enough to melt the solder but having a large mass of solder makes that more difficult. You will note that the connections to the horn of the magnetron are crimped. How was the original connection made? (welded, crimped, soldered?) In the past I have considered using the copper barrel and two screws out of a connector strip to make the connection then soldering that. I think in practice you should try to replicate the original connection type. Thank you for sharing your repair strategy.

Because it apparently contains beryllium oxide in older microwave ovens. Where domestic ovens use cheaper, safer aluminum oxide (alumina) for magnetron insulators.
If you find a ceramic part in a magnetron, especially an older one, and suspect it's BeO (pinkish, very thermally conductive), do not break or grind it; wear a respirator and clean carefully, as dust causes severe lung disease (berylliosis).
