The presentation, titled IEC Protocols: A Study on the Establishment of Standards for Sintering Technologies, will explore Karch’s role in a collaboration between the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) working group and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to develop and adopt a set of sintering technology standards and safety specifications. The session will provide an overview of pressure, pressure-assisted, and pressureless sintering technologies used in the manufacturing of components and circuits for electronics and power electronics applications. It will also examine sintering materials, processes, equipment, and test methods under consideration for standardization, as well as methods for evaluating the quality and reliability of sintered joints.
Andreas Karch provides technical support to customers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering process knowledge, technical guidance, and application recommendations for Indium Corporation’s portfolio of solder paste, solder preforms, fluxes, and thermal management materials.
