Metcal Introduces a Revolutionary Way to Further Mitigate Risks in Hand Soldering
Unsuccessful solder joints continue to be the primary reason printed circuit boards (PCB) fail. Currently, solder joint reliability is determined by visual inspection, operator ability and experience, and the skill to control the aspects influencing the hand soldering process.
Soldering—the bonding of metallic surfaces via an intermetallic compound (IMC) involves several calculated risks prior to application:
- Choice of tip geometry
- Selection of tip temperature
- Collection and analysis of process data
