Should you Solder it or Braze it?

We receive  many questions about the difference between soldering and brazing.  They are very similar joining techniques, both involving the melting of a filler metal to join two or more components without melting the base material of the components.  The American Welding Society (AWS) defines brazing as such a process which involves a filler metal […]

Ultrasonic soldering for medical and other electronic devices

Ultrasonic soldering a variant of traditional iron soldering, where instead of requiring a flux to chemically reduce the metals’ surface oxides, the ultrasonic vibration from the soldering iron produces cavitation bubbles in the liquid solder.   When the cavitation bubbles collapse, the mechanical motion of the collapse abrasively removes the surface oxides from the metal to […]
