unsolders

Separates fused metal

Unsolders is the third-person singular form of unsolder, meaning to separate parts that have been joined with solder by melting or removing the metal alloy that bonds them.

The term applies to electronics repair and metalwork: She unsolders the faulty capacitor from the circuit board.

Figuratively rare, but could describe dissolving a firm connection.
