August 30, 2017 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder is pleased to announce its participation at FIVEL 2017, scheduled to take place on September 12th-14th, 2017 at the Escola Técnica de Eletrônica’s campus in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Brazil. AIM will highlight its full line of advanced solder materials, produced locally by Alfatec Indústria e Comércio Ltda. Visit the company in booth 62.
Over the past several years, AIM has expanded its presence and support network in Brazil. In 2016, AIM announced the addition of Alfatec Indústria e Comércio Ltda as a licensed manufacturer to meet the growing demand for AIM solder materials within the Brazilian market. Today, locally produced AIM solder paste liquid flux, bar solder, and cored and solid wire solders are available throughout Brazil. Additionally, customers rely on AIM's local sales and technical support teams in Sao Paulo and Manaus to support them in achieving their manufacturing goals.
At Fivel, AIM will highlight its revolutionary M8 solder paste, which has been formulated to address the most demanding requirements confronting today’s SMT assembly market. M8 is proven to improve production yields and product quality, whether printing 0.50 area ratios or eliminating voiding on QFN and LED packages. Additionally, AIM will highlight its innovative high reliability, lead-free alloys, REL61™ and REL22. REL61 addresses the most challenging issues with today’s common lead-free alloys, specifically voiding, cost, durability and tin whiskers. REL22 has been specifically engineered as an easily processed, exceptionally durable alloy for extreme service environments. To discover all of AIM’s products and services, visit the company at FIVEL for more information.

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.
