Soldering is the process of joining two pieces using heat and a filler material that melts at a temperature below 427ºC (800ºF) and below the melting point of the parts to be solder.
The filler material used in soldering varies depending on the parts being joined. The most commonly used alloys are tin-lead, tin-silver and tin-zinc.
The reason for this process between parts of the same or different materials is to create a permanent bond high strength, simplify mechanical operation and adopt simple production techniques, always compatible with the demands of mass production, among others.
There are different methods of heating for soldering, for example the flame, electrical resistance, ultrasounds or induction. Induction soldering has a number of advantages over these other methods.
Induction soldering provides extremely fast, precise, and localized heating, which minimizes thermal stress on the surrounding components and base materials. This method ensures consistent, high-quality joints with excellent repeatability and is easily integrated into automated production lines.
Key benefits include reduced thermal distortion, minimal oxidation, and enhanced joint strength.
