almit Expert report - Contactless soldering with laser beam

    Laser soldering has established itself as a single soldering process in recent years and increasingly replaces conventional soldering processes. Nevertheless laser soldering is expensive and the large advantages of laser soldering also present disadvantages. With the correct laser soldering technique the costs are under control and the disadvantages can largely be removed. In this case solder and soldering flux are of decisive importance.

    Soldering peaks and service life

    With an increase in thickness of the iron layer we achieve a reduction in the thermal transfer behaviour at the same time. With an attempt to compensate this by increasing temperature the situation would be signifi cantly worsened.
