First Week Of My 2016 College Summer Internship at the Indium Corporation
Hello, my name is John Russo and I’m currently a student at SUNY Polytechnic working diligently to get a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering Tech. I’m involved in many
Joining the Indium Corporation Team As A Production Engineering Intern
First off, I would like to say how grateful I am to be an intern here at the Indium Corporation. This is a great oppurtunity and I look forward to learning many things. I was born and raised in
Marketing Communications Intern at Indium Corporation: Introduction
Dear Future Interns, Hello! My name is Lucia Forte. I am the Marketing Communications (also known as Marcom) intern at Indium Corporation. I am currently studying New Media Marketing at Rochester
As with Voiding, when using Mixed Technology, Start with a Good Solder Paste
Patty was walking to her office as she saw Professor Ulf Gabrielson pass by. "What an impressive older gent, " she thought. He had been a contender for a Nobel Prize a few decades ago and
PCs, Tablets, and Mobile Phones are not Dying and will Continue to Present Voiding Challenges
Folks, Looks like Patty and Rob are on another adventure. Let's look in….. Patty had been driving the same 2001 Saab station wagon since college. It had been a great car, but, with almost
AVOID THE VOID®: Large Ground Plane Voiding in Electronics Assembly: PWB Design
In a previous post I spoke about Large Ground Plane Voiding in Electronics Assembly and referred to a statistical tool called an Ishikawa Diagram. This tool helps map out a process and provide an
AVOID THE VOID®: Large Ground Plane Voiding in Electronics Assembly: Reflow Profile
In a previous post I spoke about Large Ground Plane Voiding in Electronics Assembly and referred to a statistical tool called an Ishikawa Diagram. This tool helps map out a process and provide an
History and Applications of Indium Metal
Phil Zarrow: This video is for researchers and engineers interested in indium metal. It will cover the applications and future uses. Ron, can you tell us a little bit about the history of indium
Nano-Ag Sintering Paste
Phil Zarrow: This video is for anyone wondering about working with silver sintering materials. It will cover the roles of porosity and pressure. Dr. Lee, why work with silver sintering materials?
Using Solder Preforms to Reduce Voiding in BTCs
Folks, Let's see how Patty and the team are doing on their presentation on voiding for Mike Madigan … Patty was kind of down. Like millions of others, she and Rob watched, in horror, as
The 6 Alloy Families: Bismuth
Eric Bastow: Today we're going to be talking about this really unique metal called bismuth. One of the unique things about bismuth metal is, unlike other metals that contract when they solidify,
The 6 Alloy Families: Gallium
Eric Bastow: Today we're going to be talking about this really cool metal called gallium. It's very unique, because it has a low melting point, and melts at 30 degrees C or 86 degrees
The 6 Alloy Families: Gold
Eric Bastow: Gold is very useful as a soldering material when it's used with alloys. They have very high melting points, and, for that reason, sometimes the gold-based alloys are referred to as
The 6 Alloy Families: Lead
Eric Bastow:Today, we're going to be talking about a heavy metal – not heavy metal the kind of music, but a heavy metal – lead. Lead has a very high melting point of 327 degrees
The 6 Alloy Families: Tin
Eric Bastow: Tin is a very useful metal, very shiny metal, and it melts at 232 degrees C, which is 450 degrees Fahrenheit. It is very useful, because it has a long and wide history for use in
The 6 Alloy Families: Indium – Part 2
Eric Bastow: Indium is a very versatile metal. It readily alloys with other things like bismuth, tin, and lead and that gives us a large spectrum, a wide range of melting points, with all those
How to Properly Use Cp and Cpk in SMT Assembly
Phil Zarrow: This video is for those in the electronics assembly industry that want to establish when to properly use Cp and Cpk. It includes statistical data and examples. Dr. Lasky, an important
Minimizing the Head-in-Pillow Defect in SMT Assembly
Phil Zarrow: This video is for those in the electronics assembly industry that want to minimize the head-in-pillow defect. It includes the solder paste properties that help overcome this challenge.
Assessing Field Reliability and Defect Rates in Electronics Assembly
This is video is for electronics assemblers who are required to assess field reliability. It includes determining whether or not sampling can prove that there are zero defects. Phil Zarrow:
