粘度和粘性是界定助焊剂的两个重要材料特性。人們經常將它們 「粘 」在一起,認為它們是相輔相成的。通常情況下是這樣,但並不一定。
Viscosity is the resistance of a flux to flow or the internal friction of a flux. Examples of viscous materials are honey, peanut butter, and yogurt. It has units of (force x time)/area or SI units of[N•s/m2].
粘性 是指助焊剂的粘性或其固定部件的能力。粘性材料的例子包括膠帶、膠水、嚼過的口香糖以及蜂蜜。它的單位是力或 SI 單位 [N]。
當您把一罐焊膏放置在外面時,這兩種特性之間的差別就很明顯了。經過數天或數週的時間,焊膏會變硬,變得非常黏稠。焊膏也會變乾,變得沒有粘性。粘度上升,但粘性下降。
Consider the metal load of a solder paste, or the weight percent of alloy in the flux vehicle. A higher metal load equates to a higher viscosity. More metal in the paste means it’s harder to stir.
較高的金屬負荷會對黏著力造成什麼影響?
由於助焊劑量較少,當金屬負荷增加時,粘性會降低。請記住,助焊劑是粘性的來源。
A high viscosity fluid generally equates to a high tack (i.e. honey). So how can we remember that this isn’t always true, and that they are totally different properties? Here are some examples that will help the lesson stick:
- 含水超級膠(氰基丙烯酸酯)具有粘性,但不黏稠
- 蕃茄醬和優格有黏性,但不黏膩
- 以貓王為主題的拉斯維加斯婚禮太俗了
