The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...

Conventional soldering methods quickly reach their limits when joining carbides, diamonds or ceramics. For us, Pfeiffer embodies maximum reliability, which is why we use its vacuum pumps in our vacuum ...

A vacuum can be used to achieve real advantages in the soldering process. We needed to take a closer look at the soldering process with vacuum profiles, so an evaluation project was performed. As a ...

Finnish scientists have tested a new eddy current-based soldering method for ribbon tabbing in solar cells and have found it considerably reduces the number of cracks and damages caused by ...

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 ...

Disclaimer: This is not a technical introduction to soldering. Instead, I’m sharing my insights and personal experience with printed-circuit-board (PCB) soldering that have transformed my perception ...

One of the cheapest components on any car – the connector which provides the interface between glass mounted systems such as heating elements and antennas and the vehicle’s electrical supply – has the ...

AN article in the Electrical Review of August 28 describes the technique and selection of suitable materials. The process of soldering may be defined as the uniting of metals by means of an alloy ...
