MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions Expands its Argomax Sintering Technologies
April 4, 2023 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha, one of the world’s largest providers of circuitry, assembly, and semiconductor solutions for electronics manufacturers, has expanded the Argomax® technology offering. Argomax® 2148 is a new silver sintering product, designed for electric vehicle power inverters. The sintered joint enables the fabrication of smaller, lighter, and reliable power train systems.
MacDermid Alpha’s range of Argomax silver sintering pastes offer flexibility and ease-of-use while reducing manufacturing cost and time to market. These pastes, applied by low-pressure processing are designed for die, top side, or package attach. Argomax pastes are available in wet and dry options.
Argomax 2148 enables the sintering of large packages or components on gold or silver substrates. Utilizing a pure silver bond line, the dispensable silver sintering paste exhibits excellent bond line thickness and adhesion. Argomax 2148 gives excellent performance on marginal component surfaces. The resulting sintered joint provides high thermal and electrical conductivity. With its firm attachment to the inverter, manufacturers benefit from superior component performance and reliability in extreme temperature ranges.
Ease-of-use and application are key values associated with the Argomax product line. Argomax 2148 is the ideal choice for components where a low-pressure application is critical.
Major automotive manufacturers worldwide rely on the superior performance and reliability of Argomax as part of their electric vehicle inverters. The result: enhanced range, power, and reliability of electric vehicles, coupled with MacDermid Alpha’s unrivaled technical support and customer service.

Are Firms Holding Too Much Inventory?
10/30/2024 | Shawn DuBravac, IPCIn the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, manufacturers made significant adjustments to inventory management strategies as they faced sharp declines in demand and economic uncertainty. Manufacturers moved to scale back production and attempted to quickly reduce inventory levels. Post-crisis, many manufacturers adopted lean inventory practices, such as just-in-time (JIT) production, to minimize holding costs and illiquidity risks.

Global Citizenship: Comparing and Contrasting the U.S. and China PCB Industries
10/23/2024 | Tom Yang -- Column: Global CitizenshipI have spent a lot of time in the U.S., and one question I am frequently asked is about the differences between the Chinese and U.S. PCB industries. It’s always an interesting question, and I will try to answer it in this month’s column. Certainly, the U.S. was the leader in PCB manufacturing, including developing the processes and technology, which it taught to the Chinese in the late 1980s and ’90s. As a result, China has become a force to be reckoned with in the global PCB market. Having been educated in America and now leading a major PCB manufacturing company in China, I have a unique vantage point when it comes to comparing the two nations’ approaches to PCB production.
