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

Isn't it interesting that "high reliability" gets to be its very own category of solder paste?The very definition of reliability is "the quality of being trustworthy or of

Being arecent addition to the PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) solder team at Indium Corporation, it has been eye opening to see how much change is possible in a field that from the outside

This is part three in my series on semiconductor fluxes. As someone new to learning about semiconductor fluxes, these posts will help others to better understand how fluxes work. The most important

This is the second part of my series on semiconductor fluxes. If you haven't seen my first blog poston this topic, you may want to read it now. So let's start by goinga little deeper into

A lot of people who arenot familiar with semiconductor products find themintimidating. I was one of those who found them daunting, but now I realize that semiconductor fluxes should not be

Folks, A short time ago, I posted on how to size a reflow oven. I mentioned that I had developed a spreadsheet to perform the calculations. There seemed to be some interest in the spreadsheet, so I

Folks, A good solder paste should be able to remain in a paused position (i.e. not being printed) on the stencil, for more than an hour, without significantly affecting its print performance. Pause

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

Aren’t interns supposed to make coffee and copies? That might be the case at some other places, or be a movie cliché, but it is definitely not true for interns at Indium Corporation.

Everyone loves to feel appreciated; this is even one of the Indium Way’s core values. The idea of being recognized for completing a quality job is one that many

I’m not going to lie; I’ve been preparing this post since I found out that I would author a blog. Inspired by Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy, I wanted to review

This summer I have had the opportunity to expand my own understanding of international business while interning for Indium Corporation. Although Indium Corporation is headquartered in the US, it has

As I look back on my internship at Indium Corporation I have nothing but good things to say! It can be hard to know what to expect when starting a new job. Never was I asked to get coffee or file

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

Folks, You are putting in a new assembly line to assemble some large boards for which your company just received a 3-year contract. The boards are 45 cm long and you expect the cycle time from the

This summer I got the opportunity to be part of Indium Corporation as an Industrial Engineering Intern. I am excited to share my experience so far. From the very first day, this internship has

What is success? This question has so many answers and everyone views it differently. Many people believe that money and achievements correlate to how successful an individual is. This holds some

One of the most important things I have ever learned, and am constantly reminded of, is the Law of

If we asked a room full of 100 college students if they enjoyed presentations, how many would say yes? Realistically, maybe 10 students would say yes; I am one of those students. However, it

Almost since day one, our group of summer interns has been close. We get lunch together every day, we laugh and joke with each other, and we sometimes hangout after
