Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All operative mechanisms and processes that occur when a solder joint is formed are discussed. Areas addressed include solderability testing, the effects of fluxes and flux reaction on the soldering process, intermetallic formation and reactive wetting, dewetting, oxidation in assemblies to be soldered, and surface energies. Advice is included on how to evaluate solder joints and improve their reliability, along with a discussion of soldering issues on the horizon both in processing techniques and in new solder alloys. Readers will discover how to measure surface energies for molten metals, characterize oxide coatings formed by surface reactions, remove contaminant layers in solders, prevent poor solderability and rejected parts, alleviate problems caused by cyclical temperature and strain.
