Introduction:
Welcome to AIM Solder - a global leader in the manufacturing of electronic soldering materials. With production, distribution, and support facilities worldwide, we are committed to providing high-quality services to customers in various industries, including LED lighting, mobile communications, automotive, and renewable energy.
ALPHA OM:
One of the key products offered by AIM Solder is the ALPHA OM soldering flux. This flux is designed to enhance the soldering process, ensuring strong and reliable connections in electronic assemblies. The ALPHA OM flux is known for its high performance and reliability, making it a popular choice among electronics manufacturers.
Kester 186 Soldering Flux Technical Bulletin:
In addition to the ALPHA OM flux, AIM Solder also offers the Kester 186 Soldering Flux. This flux is specially formulated to improve wetting and soldering characteristics, resulting in clean and consistent solder joints. The technical bulletin for Kester 186 provides detailed information on its properties and recommended usage, helping customers achieve optimal soldering results.
Liquid Flux and Paste Flux:
AIM Solder provides both liquid flux and paste flux options for electronic soldering applications. Liquid flux is ideal for wave soldering processes, where the flux is sprayed onto the board before it passes through a molten solder wave. Paste flux, on the other hand, is commonly used in reflow soldering, where the flux is applied to the solder paste before the components are heated to reflow the solder.
Data Sheets:
AIM Solder offers comprehensive data sheets for all its soldering materials, including fluxes and solder alloys. These data sheets provide detailed information on the composition, properties, and recommended usage of each product, helping customers make informed decisions and achieve optimal soldering results.
Analysis and Solutions for Blackened Solder Joints:
One common issue in electronic soldering is the blackening of solder joints, which can occur due to various reasons such as inadequate flux activation, contamination, or oxidation. AIM Solder provides detailed analysis and solutions for addressing blackened solder joints, including proper flux selection, surface preparation, and soldering techniques to prevent or mitigate this issue.
Recommended Fluxes:
For customers looking for recommendations on flux selection, AIM Solder offers a range of high-quality flux options tailored to specific soldering applications. Whether it's wave soldering, reflow soldering, or hand soldering, AIM Solder has a flux solution to meet the requirements of different electronic assembly processes.
Analysis of Blackened Solder Joints after SMT Soldering:
In surface mount technology (SMT) soldering, blackened solder joints can also be a common occurrence, impacting the quality and reliability of electronic assemblies. AIM Solder provides in-depth analysis of the causes of blackened solder joints in SMT soldering, along with recommended solutions to address this issue and ensure robust solder connections.
Preventing Oxidation and Blackening with Flux:
Another potential cause of blackened solder joints is oxidation, which can occur when soldered surfaces are exposed to air or contaminants after soldering. AIM Solder emphasizes the importance of proper flux application to prevent oxidation and blackening, highlighting the role of flux in protecting soldered surfaces and ensuring long-term reliability of electronic assemblies.
Evaluation of Solder Wires:
In addition to fluxes, AIM Solder offers a range of solder wires for different soldering applications. The evaluation of various solder wire brands, including AIM Solder, helps customers make informed choices based on performance, reliability, and compatibility with specific soldering processes.
