Alpha to Highlight New Material Set Combinations at SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum
June 9, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Alpha Assembly Solutions will feature its new material set combinations at the upcoming SMTA Ohio Expo and Tech Forum to be held on July 13, 2017 at the Embassy Suites Cleveland-Rockside in Independence, Ohio.
The material set combinations represent various pastes, tacky fluxes, cored wire, and wave soldering fluxes that are tested with one another to achieve greater reliability.
"Reliability is a critical issue for our customers," said Kurt Graulich, District Sales Manager for Alpha's Eastern Region. "Alpha has done the testing necessary to demonstrate which material pairings will produce the greatest reliability, relieving our customers from much of the trial and error that can occur when selecting products for specific electronics assembly processes."
Alpha, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses, will also showcase its portfolio of innovative materials and solutions for the electronics assembly industry, and its ALPHA Recycling Services capabilities.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
