Soldering flux is (or at least, should be) one of the ubiquitous features of any electronics bench. It serves the purpose of excluding oxygen from a solder joint as it solidifies, and in most cases ...

Improves wetting: Flux helps molten solder flow smoothly (or “wet”) across the surfaces, promoting even coverage and a strong ...

A group of researchers from the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has investigated how commercially available solder fluxes can corrode indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in heterojunction ...

Flux residues have been the bane of reliability of PCB assemblies (PCBAs) from the first time they were used. However, it is necessary to use some sort of compound to reduce the oxides that form on ...

Flux is commonly utilized in the PCB assembly industry with several of its usage ranging from the cleaning of component leads to reflow/wave soldering. The use of halide and non-halide flux have each ...

Most assemblers in the electronic industry use no-clean solder paste mainly to eliminate having to clean the circuit-board assemblies. Manufacturers such as Rush PCB prefer to run all production with ...

Often it feels as if soldering is deemed to be more of an art form than something that’s underpinned by the cold, hard reality of physics and chemistry. From organic chemistry with rosin, to the ...

The Turbo Torch® Viper line includes five brazing rod alloys, five solders, four high silver alloys, three fluxes, and an aluminum repair kit. The brazing alloys are ideal for joining copper to copper ...

WHAT is claimed to be the only genuine aluminium and universal solder has recently been demonstrated. It requires the use of no fluxes when used on aluminium and its alloys, pewter, tin, or magnesium.
