The use of a flux is essential to ensure the toughness of the brazed joint. It is also used to remove oxides that form on the surface of the parts which are to be joined before brazing. To eliminate these oxides completely, Metaconcept offers a soldering flux and flux remover for electronic tin soldering. Our products are of guaranteed quality.
The Benefits of Electronic Tin Solder flux
Tin is widely used as a filler metal in the electronics industry. This non-ferrous metal has the advantage of melting at 230°C. It is widely used for its good electrical conductivity and also for its more affordable price. Tin solder is used for mechanical and electrical connections.
As with other metals, tin may require a pickling flux when brazing. The flux is used to guarantee the effectiveness of the solder and the strength of the joints. Several types of flux are available for electronic tin soldering. These are generally chemical products which must be applied beforehand to the parts which are to be joined. Some filler metals already contain fluxes, such as soldering creams, pastes, flux wires, preforms, etc.
Choosing the Right Flux for Electronic Soldering
To ensure that your solder is effective, you need to rely on a good flux stripper for electronic tin solder. This chemical product must be adapted to the nature of the parts which are to be assembled, the type of filler metal and the heating method used. For electronic soldering, connectors and cable tinning, for example, you can use Flux Alpha A83. RADSOL 2101 fluxes are recommended for soldering heat exchangers while POWERFLOW 100g cream is suitable for brazing in the building trade, for art work and stained glass. There’s also a T010 deoxidizing powder for cleaning dead baths or wave baths.
The use of a brazing flux is essential when assembling parts using tin. It must be applied evenly to ensure a uniform result. There are many ways of doing this: by spraying, dipping or brushing. To prevent the flux from evaporating, soldering must be carried out immediately after the flux has been applied. Before applying the product to the metal, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased. Make sure the flux type is suitable for the melting temperatures of the filler metal.
Finally, to protect your operator during the operation, he or she must wear protective equipment such as an apron, gloves, shoes, helmet and goggles.
