Good info Clif...Bill, whatever,
Boy, you new guys sure don't know what's been around for a long
time...(:-)
OLD idea. LOW voltage, HIGH current.

It is called "resistance soldering".

I knew that. Seriously, to me the big celebration here is the material
that allows you to make a low-resistance connection to the work every
time.

We used to have fun with a low-voltage, high-current power supply that
some wag labeled "Zotz I" (but everyone mistook the markings and called
it "zotsy"). It was the (fairly) early days of tantalum caps, and we'd
hang Zotzi across the power supply rails to find shorts by heat. On
occasion we'd launch a smelly and formerly shorted tantalum that way.
