It should be 360c.

Not if you don't have all day long to fiddle around. I never solder with
anything but 800 F. (427 C.)

That's silver-soldering temperature. If you use that for electronics,
you'd want to be damn quick with it!

That's the advantage -- you can be damn quick, and thus transfer
less total energy into the parts.

Fine if you're soldering continuously - but if it's the usual gap while
preparing a component etc aren't you forever cleaning it?
