Folks, I am re-posting an updatedblog post on Cp and Cpk calculations with Excel®, as I have improved the Excel® spreadsheet. If you would like the new spreadsheet, sendme an email

I have written a few blogs about robotic soldering. I continue to seenew applications as it becomes a more prominent soldering method among electronics

In my last postI talked about the types of solder you could find in wearable medical devices, specifically hearing aids and continuous glucose

Folks, Moore’s Law was developed by Gordon Moore in 1965. It predicted that the number of transistors in integrate circuitswould double approximately every two years. Surprisingly, it has held

What does Durafuse® LT – a low-temperature solder have to do with RF shielding? Well, an RF (Radio Frequency) shield in a cell phone or computer is a piece of conductive metal that blocks

In my last post, I talked about the advancements of medical technologies over the past century that have contributed to improving our quality of life, raising our life expectancy, and preventing

One of the first terms I had to Google when learning about my team’s product line was “rheology,” defined as “the branch of physics dealing with the flow of

Viscosity and tack are two important material properties that define a flux. People often “tack” them together as one, thinking they go hand-in-hand. Typically, this is the case, but not

Selective soldering has been on the rise due to its improved productivity and yields. We have received a lot of customer inquiries about selective soldering products; people want to learn about 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

Folks, It still surprises me that my most popular blog topic in the 15 years (yikes!) that I have been blogging is how to calculate solder alloy density having the mass fractions and densities of the

Today we’ll be discussing Metal Gel™ with Andrea Olvera-Gonzalez of Liquid Wire. Liquid Wire is a relatively new company developing advanced fluid-phase circuits for flexible and

Indium corporation is now producing tin at very high purity – see here: https://www.indium.com/products/metals/tin/ –and I'd love to explain why we have invested in this technology:

Folks, Soldering enables modern electronics. Without solder, electronics would not exist. Copper melts at 1085°C, yet with solder, we can bond copper to copper at about 235°C or less with

So, high-reliability alloys: what does that mean and why? The "what" is actually pretty easy in this case. Alloys such as Indalloy®292 are used to improve thermal cycling

So,soldering:In any case I can think of, it creates acontinuous metal connection. In our corner of the industry (PCBA), that connection isbetween the metal pad of a circuit board board and a

Long time, no talk! With this being the last week of the 2020 Internship Program, there has been a great deal of reflection done on these past 10 weeks. I can only speak for myself when I make a

As we come to our final week as interns, many of us have spent time reflecting on our experience. The skills, knowledge, and advice we have gained from this internship have made us better

As my summer internship winds down, I reflect on my exceptionally unique experience here at Indium Corporation by sifting through memories, picking out highlights of lifelong lessons learned during

“Required: Pursuing a Degree in Mechanical Engineering…Pursuing a Degree in Industrial Engineering”. It would be an understatement that these phrases worried me as I applied for an

When we talk about off-eutectic alloys, we must take a step back and talk about what makes a eutectic alloy. Each solder alloy has both a solidus (not melted) and liquidus (completely melted)
