Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

It may be difficult to appreciate, as you tap laboriously away at the keyboard of your laptop, that the materials of the critical electronic joints are experiencing conditions which are just as, if ...

The Turbo Torch® Viper line includes five brazing rod alloys, five solders, four high silver alloys, three fluxes, and an aluminum repair kit. The brazing alloys are ideal for joining copper to copper ...

For most of the history of industrial electronics, solder has been pretty boring. Mix some lead with a little tin, figure out how to wrap it around a thread of rosin, and that’s pretty much it. Sure, ...

Over the last few years, we have witnessed a major push around the globe to manufacture electronic assemblies using more expensive and problematic leadfree solders. The question is why. A number of ...

This paper will address the optimization of Pb Free soldering conditions, with a focus on differences between Sn/ Pb and Pb Free soldering. This allows assemblers to build on their extensive ...

Judging by the number of e-mails Electronics Weekly receives each week, the legislation and timetables around the RoHS and WEEE Directives are still causing a lot of confusion. EW is inviting readers ...
