How does AuSn alloy and flux impact the reliability of solder paste?
When looking at the reliability of AuSn solder paste, you need to take a couple of things into consideration, the post reflow alloy composition (off-eutectic) and the correct flux for the application are two of these.
Read MoreWhy is AuSn powder size important for solder paste application?
Today's electronics continue to get smaller and smaller, so the traditional type 3 (-200/+325) mesh size might be too large for new scale-ups. This blog post reviews Indium Corporation's capabilities for making smaller AuSn particle sizes.

Indalloy®182
Indalloy®182 (80Au/20Sn) has a melting point of 280°C (556°F). It can be made into solder paste form with various options to address specific applications. Gold-tin solder paste is generally used in applications that require a high melting temperature (over 150°C), good thermal fatigue properties, and high-temperature strength. It is also used in applications that require a high tensile strength and high corrosive resistance, or in step soldering applications where the paste will not melt during a subsequent low-temperature reflow process. For these reasons, Indalloy®182 solder paste is widely used in military, aerospace, high-power LED, and medical applications
