Principles Of Reliable Soldering Techniques

Principles of Reliable Soldering Techniques

Soldering, Though Being An Age Old Phenomenon, Is Still Perhaps A Difficult Subject To Understand, Due To Its Interdisciplinary Nature. In This Book, Efforts Have Been Made To Describe The Physical Theories Responsible For Making A Good Joint, The Chemical Actions During Its Formation And The Electrical, Thermal And Mechanical Requirements Essential To Ensure Its Reliability. The Four M'S; Material, Machine, Method And Man, Necessary For Designing A Solder Joint Have Been Described In Detail. Further, Process Control, Solder Joint Inspection Criteria, Solder Joint Defect Analysis And Its Repair/Rework Are Also Discussed.Additionally, Brief Introductions To Surface Mount Devices (Smd) And Surface Mount Technology (Smt) Have Been Included A Annexures. The Book Will Be Useful In Industry, And To Design Production, Process Planning And Quality Control Engineers, As Well As In Engineering/Technical Colleges To Students As A Reference Book For The Present And, Hopefully, Future Modified Courses. The Academicians May Find This Book Useful For Redesigning The Present Diploma (Electronics), B.Sc. (Electronics), B.Sc. (Instrumentation), B.E. And M.E. / M.Tech (Electrical, Electronic, Instrumentation) Syllabus.

Principles of Soldering

Principles of Soldering

If you work with soldering processes or soldered components, Principles of Soldering will help you understand and solve practical engineering challenges. Clearly written and well referenced, this book takes you from the fundamental characteristics of solders, fluxes, and joining environments to the impact these have in the selection and successful use of soldering processes. Priority is given to the fundamental principles that underlie this field of technology rather than recipes for making joints. Striking a balance between being unduly simplistic or overly mathematical in their approach, the authors provide the critical analysis that is missing from much of the literature on soldering. An entire section is devoted to the difficult art of fluxless soldering and includes strategies for devising successful processes. The final chapter is devoted to recent advances in soldering technology and covers a variety of topics including lead-free solders, flip-chip interconnection, diffusion soldering, amalgams as solders, composite solders and other "hot" areas of research. Containing approximately 200 figures and 60 tables, this book updates and greatly expands the soldering content in the book Principles of Soldering and Brazing (1993) by the same authors. A companion volume, Principles of Brazing, is in development.
