Low-Temperature Soldering

Folks, Pity Ötzi, The Iceman, circa 3500BC. It is believed that he was involved in copper smelting as both copper particles and arsenic, a trace element in some copper ores, were found in his

Hi All, My team came across an interesting article the other day from IEEE Spectrum that talked about the recent advent of

A low-temperature solder like DurafuseTM LT can be essentialfor many applications where keeping the peak temperature below a certain point is critical (LEDs, flex substrates, opto-electronics, shield

Folks, Readers may remember that I have had an interest in tin pest for some time. Tin pest can occur if nearly-pure tin is exposed to cold temperatures (<13.2oC) for long periods of time. At the

If you are here, you probably already know that Durafuse® LT is a low-temperature solder with some special drop shock properties(they're fantastic, and yes, I may be biased – but it is

Low-temperature solders can have a wide variety of reflow profiles. One of the great things about Durafuse® LT is that it opens up an entirely new set of options for combining low oven

I recently wrote a blog about this fascinating new low temperature solder technology – Durafuse® LT, but I have to admit that no matter how interesting a new technology might be, it is

All metals can be cold welded, but need significant shear between the two pieces. Indium ("the easiest material in the world to cold weld*") is unique in that it can cold weld to itself at

Every solder alloy has both a solidus and a liquidus temperature. The solidus temperature is the point below which the alloy is solid (not melted). The liquidus temperature is the point, above which
