Today was a different kind of experience as an intern at Indium Corporation. Yesterday, I was told that Jim McCoy and I would be visiting Remsen Elementary School’s career

Folks, In our last post, I discussed that, contrary to popular belief, intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formed in soldering processes are not necessarily brittle. I reviewed some literature that

Indium is commonly used to suppress the melting point of various alloys. These low-temp indium alloys range in solidus temperature from 157°C to 7°C. That’s right; some of the alloys

Recently we discussed stretchable electronics developments happening at Carnegie Mellon University. I hope you found that story interesting, if you did then you are sure to enjoy the work that is

Folks, In my last post, I discussed intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and what I referred to as the “miracle of

A previousblog briefly described what Quantum Dots

Throughout the Indium Corporation website, and most prolifically on the Indium Blog, we have discussed soldering to non-metals. There really is no perfect list of all the materials that indium can

Folks, C Charts are control charts used to track attribute data. As an example, suppose you are tracking defects at the end of an SMT assembly process. Management hasstated that they want to know how

En un post reciente entrevistamos a Shamaine Engler sobre el tema de las aplicaciones de juntas criogénicas. Como continuación, hoy hablamos con Kim Flanagan (Ingeniero de Soporte Técnico) sobre la especificación de...

Phil Zarrow: Brook, we've been talking about process issues with solder paste. Let's talk about care and handling. We receive our solder paste from shipping and handling, what's next?

This is the time of year when people begin to look back on their New Year’s resolutions and realize that their good intentions were just that. While some people will just give up – smart

80Au20Sn solder wire is widely used in the aerospace and medical electronics fields. The wire is used in hand soldering, or automated processes, for soldering wires to contacts. The alloy's high

Cloruros -comunes y útiles... como la sal, NaCl. Consideremos una de las sales más inusuales y reactivas: Tricloruro de galio GaCl3: un sólido anhidro a temperatura ambiente que funde a

Indium metal will ‘adhere’ to itself at room temperature. Many materials will cold weld with enough force, but indium is unique in that it can bond to itself with very little

College intern season is here! In the coming days Indium Corporation will begin advertising job postings for our highly competitive 2017 Summer College Internship program. This year wewill

Es fácil quemarse durante el proceso de rodaje y prueba si no se utiliza la interfaz térmica adecuada.

Éste es el último de una serie de artículos que tratan sobre las preformas de soldadura reforzadas para obtener una alta fiabilidad y un bajo índice de vacíos. Este post se centrará en los resultados de nuestro EOD para averiguar si, en

Probe testability is the last of the IPC tests. This test measures the nature of the flux residue to determine whether it interferes with the post-soldering electronic probe testing of the circuit

Esta es la cuarta de una serie de entradas de blog que hablan sobre las Preformas de Soldadura reforzadas para alta fiabilidad y baja

Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) tests measure the post soldering effect on the electrical integrity of the circuit boards. Fluxes should facilitate soldering, but not degrade the circuit by

This is the third in a series of blog posts that talk about reinforced Solder Preforms for high–reliability and low voiding. This post will focus on how InFORMS® affect bondline consistency
