A new brochure that highlights induction soldering applications is now available. This brochure, which is titled "Improved Soldering with Induction Heating," reviews ten soldering applications that were tested by THE LAB at Ambrell. It also discusses what soldering is and why induction is often a good choice for soldering applications. 

THE LAB at Ambrell tested an induction heating application involving heating a solder joint to reflow the solder on a circuit board evenly. The end product was a diesel fuel tank component. The target temperature for the application was 482º F (250º C) and THE LAB determined that an EASYHEAT™ 10 kW, 150-400 kHz induction heating power supply was the right solution for this soldering application.

THE LAB at Ambrell tested an induction heating application involving soldering ferrule and module assemblies. The end product was a component used in the fiber optics industry. The client had been using a soldering iron, but looked to induction due to its superior repeatability. A small amount of energy was used so that the client would have time to adjust the ferrule inside of the module while the solder was in a liquid state. Consequently an Ambrell EASYHEAT™ 1.2 kW induction heating system was the proper fit for this application. 

A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell with a new process that involved heating a Kovar ferrule for a glass soldering application. Goals for the heating process involved speed, but above all quality and consistency. The client sent in the parts and took advantage of THE LAB's complimentary applications testing process.
