Folks, I read with interest Zohair Mehkri’s SMTAI 2020 paper entitledHow Quantum Computing (QC) will Revolutionize Electronics Manufacturing. I will start by saying that he gives a very good

In my last post, I talked about the advancements of medical technologies over the past century that have contributed to improving our quality of life, raising our life expectancy, and preventing

I'm still discoveringnew applications for Durafuse® LTlow-temperature solder. A really interesting one I've run into is for helping improve LED lifetimes; yes, with lights! Like

The more I work with customers on projects using Durafuse®LT, the more I to definewhat a process really needs in regards to "Low-Temperature". I know when we think of low-temperature

The Rule of 72 Four years ago, the big boss, 6' 6" tall, 350 pound Mac Savage, said that the goal for the sales of a new product was at least 20% growth rate per

Every day there are advancements in medical technologies that improve our quality of life, raise our life expectancy, and prevent previously debilitating diseases. The world of healthcare was a very

I spoke previously about how Indium Corporation’s WS-446HF flux has an activator system powerful enough to overcome the non-value-added prefluxing step (check out Andy Mackie’s blog about

One of the first terms I had to Google when learning about my team’s product line was “rheology,” defined as “the branch of physics dealing with the flow of

I’ve spoken previously about how a role at Indium Corporation was a great fit because of my education. Although I come from a materials science and business background, which aligns itself

Viscosity and tack are two important material properties that define a flux. People often “tack” them together as one, thinking they go hand-in-hand. Typically, this is the case, but not

Folks, Imagine you are Guglielmo Marconi, and you opened the first radio factory in Chelmsford England in 1912. Using Lee De Forest’s 1906 invention, the triode vacuum tube, your early radios

So I have run into a problem with the phrase "High-Reliability" recently. By that I mean there have beenseveral situations where I said "high-reliability,"someone else has too,

Folks, I have been following advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicles (AV) for some time now. At first, I was a cautious;then I became a skeptic;and now I am a doubter. AI can

Folks, The Pareto Chart is a simple way to plot failure data that gives priority to the failure modes with the highest number of fails. This technique was developed by Vilfredo Pareto in the late

Hello all, As a recent college graduate, I’ve had a number of conversations with my peers about how their new jobs are treating them. When I would eventually ask about if they enjoyed their

Selective soldering has been on the rise due to its improved productivity and yields. We have received a lot of customer inquiries about selective soldering products; people want to learn about the

If you are here, you probably already know that Durafuse® LT is a low-temperature solder with some special drop shock properties(they're fantastic, and yes, I may be biased – but it is

I know 2020 isn’t over yet, there’s no official “best indium article of 2020”, and, if there was, it would be voted on by more than one person – but I don’t care

At Indium Corporation, we genuinely love indium. As much as we enjoy solving the material challenges of the world with indium and indium alloys, we also look for opportunities where we can

One of the great parts of working with indium is that there are always new areas of technology to explore. Recently, I’ve been interested in the full cycle of indium in III/V semiconductor

You may have seen quantum dot televisions in stores – you may even own one yourself. If you are a reader of this blog, you should know by now that ITO (indium tin oxide) is used as a
