Welding, soldering, and brazing are techniques for joining two or more metal pieces and, in some cases, other materials. They are also methods to fill gaps in metal parts. So, how do you determine which technique to use? This decision depends on the material, the desired strength, and the application. The main difference between welding and soldering is fusion. In soldering, the metals to be joined are heated but never melted. In welding, the base metals are melted to form...
In the electronics industry, the quality of solder joints is essential to ensure the proper functioning and reliability of devices. A fundamental component in this process is the flux, which plays a crucial role in creating clean, durable, and electrically reliable connections between electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). What is a Flux and What is Its Role in Electronic Soldering? Flux is a chemical substance that facilitates the soldering process by removing oxides and contaminants present on the metallic...
Do you know which metal's price is most affected by new technologies? In 2024, tin prices remain volatile, but have shown an upward trend due to growing demand in the technology industry and supply constraints. Over the past two years, the price has ranged between $30,000 and $50,000 per tonne, even exceeding $40,000/t in 2023, driven by inventory shortages and growing demand from emerging industries, such as semiconductors and renewable energy. The tin price forecast according to BMI expects tin prices...
Among all the methods, manual or contact soldering is the technique with the longest history and, from a technical point of view, the best established. Recently it was carried out by hand by soldering operators, but in recent years robots have rapidly advanced their automation and streamlining. A look back at the history of hand soldering Soldering itself has about 6000 years of history and hand or tip welding was already in use as early as 1860. Back then, metals and...
Geopolitical risks of tinIn a world increasingly dependent on technology and innovation, tin plays an important role, especially in the electronics and technology sector. Its presence is indispensable in a wide range of products, from everyday electronic devices to critical components in communication infrastructures and renewable energy systems.Despite its unrivalled and irreplaceable value, the global tin market is remarkably small. This combination of factors underscores the urgent need for new, responsible sources of production to meet ever-increasing demand.In this...
