MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions Launches ALPHA HRL3 Solder Sphere
May 12, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of innovative materials used in semiconductor, circuitry, and electronics assembly announces the release of ALPHA HRL3 Solder Sphere, lead-free, high reliability, low-temperature alloy for ball mount applications.
ALPHA HRL3 is a lead-free, low temperature, high-reliability alloy for use applications where low-temperature processing is desired. ALPHA HRL3 is available in solder sphere format for ball mount application. The alloy was designed to exhibit improved drop shock and thermal cycling performance versus existing low-temperature alloys in the market. ?The ALPHA HRL3 Solder Spheres offer a wide operating window, cost savings through low-temperature materials and heating energy while reducing warpage.
ALPHA HRL3 Solder Spheres is a high-quality lead-free alloy that is capable of soldering at a temperature lower than standard tin silver-copper alloys. ALPHA HRL3 solder alloy is able to demonstrate reliability performance comparable to standard tin silver copper alloys (SAC305). To ensure consistent sphere size, uniformity, and alloy content, ALPHA Solder Spheres are manufactured to the highest quality control standards.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
