We can make the best indium preforms on Earth, but it wouldn’t matter if they don’t arrive at your facility securely. If you’ve ever handled pure indium you’ll have a good

One of the most unique features of any sintering material, including our QuickSinter® material, is that it does not need to reach or remain above a liquidus temperature like traditional solder.

Folks, Let’s assume your company has decided that transfer efficiency (TE) is the key metric in determining solder paste quality. Transfer efficiency is the ratio of the volume of the solder

Hello blog world! It has been a while since I have posted, but this year will be different and better than ever – full of fun content. Although it's a late New Year's resolution, I

Pure indium preforms can be supplied to you as bare metal, or with a flux

I have great news: we now have a more accessible way for you to obtain liquid metal for prototyping, low-volume applications, or even overclocking! We have added 10 gram syringes of Indalloy® 51E

Folks, When we think of living today, it is likely inarguable that electricity is a fundamental of modernity. Pondering about what we would miss most if we were thrust into the past, we might quickly

Come visit us at APEX! APEX 2020 is coming up soon at the San Diego Convention Center in California. This link will show you the Exhibit Hall hours where you can reach me and my colleagues at the

I recently was asked to speak to somehigh school students about why chemistry is important.As a young professional myself, it was only eight or nine years agothat I was where they are now. At that

Folks, I have to admit I was recently impressed when I read an article in Forbes (Dec 31, 2019, p50). The impressive or more precisely stunning feature of the article was a graph that showed computer

Low-temperature solders can have a wide variety of reflow profiles. One of the great things about Durafuse® LT is that it opens up an entirely new set of options for combining low oven

Flux charring isan undesirable cosmetic defect and one of the more common issues in hand and robotic soldering operations. There are multiple factors that can contribute to the charring of flux in

Michel writes: Dr. Ron, when if comes to SMT printing of solder paste, why do some people use the five-ball rule for rectangular apertures and the eight-ball rule for circular apertures? Michel: The

When you are choosing a low temperature solder alloy, there are some key properties that you should to consider. The first, and most important, is the melting temperature.This is commonly referred to

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

It’s amazing to me to think that over a decade worth of blog posts about indium metalcan be found here! With that in mind, I wanted to say “Thank You” to all the readers who have

Fluxes and solder pastes are specially engineered materials formulated with various applications in mind. The differences in the chemical formulations are such so that specific characteristics of a

Folks, As I mentioned a while ago, I will be presenting, this coming February, at SMTA PanPac. I am lead author or co-author on four papers. One of the papers is on “Weibull Analysis

As with most products, order quantity affects price. When customers order more indium-containingpreforms we can produce them more efficiently – and pass along the cost savings to you.

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
