Rehm to Hold Seminar in Mexico
January 18, 2019 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rehm seminar in Mexico scheduled for mid-February What are the causes of soldering defects? And what methods can be used to avoid precisely such soldering defects? Answers to these questions will be provided at a two-day Rehm seminar to be held at the Rehm Technology Centre in Guadalajara, Mexico on February 13 and 14.
Luis Garcia, managing director of Rehm Mexico, will present the most important news as well as Rehm's portfolio and innovations to the seminar participants. The first seminar day, dedicated entirely to reflow profiling, will then begin. Dr. Hans Bell, Head of R&D at Rehm Thermal Systems, will present the reflow profiling basics: standards, guidelines, measurement options, and factors affecting the reflow profile. The effect of process-related factors on soldering quality, such as wetting, will be examined in the afternoon.
Defect management in electronics production will be the main topic on the second day of the seminar. Dr. Hans Bell will take a look at reflow soldering defects such as solder balling/spatter or solder beading – while explaining the causes of voids and strategies to prevent these. Both seminar days will offer enough discussion time for participants to exchange specialist 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.
