I have been speaking recently with our technical support engineers to learnabout the types of questions and concerns that our customers have about using flux-cored wire.In answer to many of these

I have enjoyed writing the Patty and the Professor blog for about 10 years now. I’ve written about numerous real-life electronics assembly examples that I have encountered in my career, all

"¿Cómo puedo reducir los huecos en las soldaduras de unión a la matriz?" es una pregunta que me hacen a menudo los clientes del sector de semiconductores de potencia.

Within the cored solder wire industry, an increasing amount of attention is being given to the amount of spatter created during robotic and hand soldering applications. New products are being

Amigos, ha pasado demasiado tiempo, veamos a Patty y los chicos..... Eran las 5:30 AM y la alarma de Patty sonó. Hoy estaba inusualmente cansada debido a una reunión de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros.

Folks, Outside of the walls of Indium Corporation few people likely hear the word “gallium” spoken very often. Yet, in one important way, gallium is fundamental to modern living:

Como ingeniero de asistencia técnica, me hacen esta pregunta con bastante frecuencia. Una preforma de soldadura es una forma sólida, plana y fabricada de soldadura que puede utilizarse para una amplia variedad de aplicaciones de ensamblaje. Soldadura

Happy New Year everyone! Typically the new year signals a new beginning, but thispost will be concluding our series on reflow profilingby discussing the fourth stage of a reflow profile: the

Amigos, hace algunos años recibí la siguiente solicitud: Hola Dr. Lasky, soy un reciclador de metales preciosos y le agradecería mucho que verificara la validez de una ecuación que aproxima el Karat

Folks, the adventures of The Professor continue……… So far the meeting with The Professor had proven very valuable John thought.He was anxious to hear the other suggestions that The

"Well what should we do Professor?" John said weakly. "Clearly, not shut the line down over the lunch break," The Professor responded quickly. "We can't!"said John,

Amigos, en las próximas semanas pienso volver a publicar algunos de los primeros episodios de Patty y el Profesor. Mientras visitaba varias instalaciones, algunas de ellas en otras industrias, me di cuenta de que el tiempo de actividad es un factor tan vital como la seguridad.

Folks, I teach a course at Dartmouth on manufacturing processes: ENGM 185. In this course, I use many of the chapters from “The Adventures of Patty and the Professor.” This book started as a

Aunque Indium Corporation es conocida como proveedora de soldaduras, no lo es tanto por su capacidad para reciclarlas.

Folks, It is accepted as fact by everyone that I know that 2/3rd of all SMT defects can be traced back to the stencil printing process. A number of us have tried to find a reference for this posit,

In my previous post on this topic, Stages of a Reflow Profile: Part II, I mentioned a few profile-induced soldering defects, including graping, tombstoning, and voiding. In this post,we will talk

This week we learned about an exciting new liquid metal-infused polymer, made with a gallium-indium alloy, which can be used to form circuits that heal themselves after being damaged. Today, Eric

Over the last few days we have learned about how to create stretchable electronics from gallium and indium embedded into an elastomer. Today we continue the conversation with Eric Markvicka and look

We are back again with Eric Markvicka to talk about how easy it is to form a stretchable electrical circuit with liquid metal-embedded material and some simple tools. Jim: Eric, at first blush your

Yesterday Eric Markvicka demonstrated self-healing electronics for us with his video of a liquid metal embedded elastomer. Today, we discuss a composite material that is electrically insulating until

Brook Sandy-Smith, Ingeniero de Soporte Técnico de PCB Assembly Materials, y Phil Zarrow, discuten cómo puede utilizarse la soldadura por reflujo en vacío para reducir el voiding. Phil Zarrow: Brook, ha habido un
