Indium Corporation’s Claire Hotvedt, Product Development Specialist, will present at the SMTA Indiana Indesign Product Engineering and Development LCC Symposium,November 19, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Solder alloy development is a balancing act between desirable and undesirable properties. Hotvedt’s presentation, DurafuseTM LT: Developing a Mixed-Alloy Process for Property Fusion, will demonstrate the possibility of combining alloy properties using Indium Corporation’s patent-pending mixed-alloy process in Durafuse™ LT. While low-temperature solders often struggle with drop shock reliability or lower shear strength, Durafuse™ LT’s unique formulation provides enhanced drop shock resilience and reliability. Composed of a lower melting
In-containing alloy with a higher melting SAC alloy, the low-temperature solder melts to fuse with the SAC alloy powder during fusion and forms a continuous metal joint. Some Sn diffuses into the liquid indium-containing alloy to increase the re-melt temperature and enhance strength.
