It's nichrome or resistance wire. It doesn't take to soldering very well. Most of the time it's crimped or riveted to a solderable terminal. If it's part of candohm I would just replace both sections w/two separate resistors.

Nichrome wire can be soldered using strong acidic flux. An aspirin tablet works just fine, and this has to be uncoated (plain aspirin) one.
If you have to solder it. Otherwise, as Terry suggested, you could crimp it. PS. Could you possibly write in a bit more structured manner, using capitals and punctuation. It makes reading a little easier. As a courtesy to fellow forum members. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Well, don't inhale it when fluxing, it is irritating
 Get the iron hot, scrape the wire a bit (rougher surfaces are always a bit easier to tin), get a decent plob of solder at the tip of the iron, and start fluxing the wire end right agains the aspirin tablet, as it melts. Keep rubbing the tip back and forth as you flux it. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
