There is one software that you either love or you hate — and it’s Microsoft® Excel®. I love Excel and see it to be one of my best tools when trying to be productive. I’ve

Today marks a month since I first walked through the doors of Indium Corporation. I remember my first day: I was extremely nervous and anxious (going to work in only one sock tells the whole

Folks, Downtime calculations can be a bit confusing. Most people would assume that if a line has 4 machines, and they are each down for 5% of the time, that the total downtime (DT) is 4 x 5% or

What did you want to be when you were five years old? A firefighter? A professional athlete? An astronaut? Those are all very typical careers a five-year-old may consider. What about me? Well, when I

In the current pandemic situation where public parks, grounds, gymnasiums, and swimming pools are shutdown to avoid the spread of the virus, children are now forced to find indoor alternatives for

Anyone who has ever met me knows that I am loud, energetic, and sometimes just a little bit crazy. The running joke among my family and friends has always been that I could probably hold a

Folks, I am re-posting an updatedblog post on Cp and Cpk calculations with Excel®, as I have improved the Excel® spreadsheet. If you would like the new spreadsheet, sendme an email

Já escrevi alguns artigos no blogue sobre soldadura robótica. Continuo a ver novas aplicações, à medida que este método de soldadura ganha cada vez mais destaque no setor da eletrónica.

In my last postI talked about the types of solder you could find in wearable medical devices, specifically hearing aids and continuous glucose

Folks, Moore’s Law was developed by Gordon Moore in 1965. It predicted that the number of transistors in integrate circuitswould double approximately every two years. Surprisingly, it has held

What does Durafuse® LT – a low-temperature solder have to do with RF shielding? Well, an RF (Radio Frequency) shield in a cell phone or computer is a piece of conductive metal that blocks

No meu último post, falei sobre os avanços das tecnologias médicas ao longo do último século que contribuíram para melhorar a nossa qualidade de vida, aumentar a nossa esperança de vida e prevenir

Um dos primeiros termos que tive de pesquisar no Google quando soube da linha de produtos da minha equipa foi "reologia", definida como "o ramo da física que lida com o fluxo de

A viscosidade e a aderência são duas propriedades importantes do material que definem um fluxo. Muitas vezes, as pessoas "juntam-nas" como se fossem uma só, pensando que andam de mãos dadas. Normalmente, é esse o caso, mas não

A soldadura selectiva tem vindo a aumentar devido à melhoria da produtividade e dos rendimentos. Temos recebido muitos pedidos de informação de clientes sobre produtos de soldadura selectiva; as pessoas querem saber mais sobre os

Se está aqui, provavelmente já sabe que a Durafuse® LT é uma solda de baixa temperatura com algumas propriedades especiais de choque de queda (são fantásticas, e sim, posso ser tendencioso - mas é

Pessoal, continua a surpreender-me que o tema mais popular do meu blogue nos 15 anos (caramba!) que levo de blogue seja como calcular a densidade de uma liga de solda com as fracções de massa e as densidades dos

Today we’ll be discussing Metal Gel™ with Andrea Olvera-Gonzalez of Liquid Wire. Liquid Wire is a relatively new company developing advanced fluid-phase circuits for flexible and

A Indium Corporation está atualmente a produzir estanho com um grau de pureza muito elevado - ver aqui: https://www.indium.com/products/metals/tin/ - e gostaria de explicar por que razão investimos nesta tecnologia:

Folks, Soldering enables modern electronics. Without solder, electronics would not exist. Copper melts at 1085°C, yet with solder, we can bond copper to copper at about 235°C or less with

So, high-reliability alloys: what does that mean and why? The "what" is actually pretty easy in this case. Alloys such as Indalloy®292 are used to improve thermal cycling
