It is not often that we get a request for SIR (Surface Insulation Resistance) and/or ECM (Electro-Chemical Migration) results for a water washable/soluble flux or solder paste, but often enough to

I have been asked to explain why someone would want to use rotary sputtering targets instead of planar sputtering

Folks, Some time ago I wrote a post, “In Search of Tin Whiskers,” Michael responds below. He makes some good points. Dr. Ron, I'm responding to your blog regarding tin

Haben Sie jemals Bedarf an einem "Niedrigtemperatur"-Lot (d. h. einer Legierung, die bei weniger als 175 °C schmilzt)? Vielleicht haben Sie empfindliche Bauteile, die den Standard-Reflow-Temperaturen nicht standhalten,

Lote sind als Klasse "interessante" Metalle. Und die Eigenschaften von indiumhaltigen Loten sind besonders interessant. Die physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften von Indium (und Indium-Legierungen)

Folks, Let’s look in on Patty and Pete and see how they are handling Rex “The Torrent.” Patty wanted to give Pete a little more exposure so she nodded to him to chime

Im Zusammenhang mit dem Löten oder der Benetzung (Beschichtung) mit Indium werden wir oft um eine Stellungnahme zur Oxidbildung von Indium und zu dessen Entfernung gebeten. Wir werden auch gefragt, wie lange es dauern wird, bis das Oxid

We are often asked if it is possible to solder to stainless steel and, if so, what is the best procedure.As you may already know, stainless steel is not easy to solder but it can be done with a

Folks, Let’s see how Patty is doing with the latest crisis…… Upon hearing Claire Perkins inform her that Rob was in the hospital, Patty froze and her face looked ashen.She quickly

Two categories of solder are available to choose from when the in-service environment for a device reaches above 125°C either in continuous operation or thermal cycling accelerated life

Folks, Patty arrived at work an hour early to prepare for her meeting with ACME CEO Mike Madigan.Nineteen days ago, he had asked her to develop an electronics assembly metric that would correlate

Indium and indium-containing alloys see wide use in a multitude of soldering applications. Indium has many attractive properties such as remaining ductile at cryogenic temperatures, compatibility

It is often said that a chain is only as strong as it weakest link, the same can be true for a series of solder joints on a component. When one is bad, the rest are useless. Quite often, voiding is

Indium-Metall hat die einzigartige Fähigkeit, sich bei Raumtemperatur kalt zu verschweißen (zu verbinden). Obwohl dies technisch gesehen kein Löten ist, macht diese Eigenschaft es besonders nützlich für Verbindungen bei niedrigen Temperaturen

Tombstoning (also known as the Manhattan effect, drawbridge effect, or Stonehenge effect) is described (in the simplest, and most common, sense) as occurring when one end of a passive device, such as
