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.
To learn more about Alpha's material set combinations, recycling services, and additional products, please visit Alpha during the SMTA Ohio Expo and visit AlphaAssembly.com.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
