AIM – Bar Solder
Zero defect wave soldering requires consistent solder quality. Contaminants and high oxide levels in bar solder can result in a variety of wave soldering defects such as bridging, projections, and poor wetting. To avoid these issues, AIM’s low drossing solder bar alloys provide a high purity product exceeding IPC, JEDEC and IEC requirements.
AIM Electropure™ bar solder is processed from high-quality, virgin metals in a proprietary method that removes contaminants and reduces dissolved oxides. AIM’s Electropure™ technique results in an extremely pure, low-drossing solder bar that increases throughput and decreases defects.
Key Features
- Low Oxide Content
- Reduces Defects Such as Bridging and Icicling
- Lower Surface Tension than Competitive Brands
- Available in Extruded, Cast, and Margash Bars
- Produced from High Purity Virgin Metals
Available Models
AIM Electropure Reduces Dross Better Than Competitors
Dross Comparison of AIM Electropure Bar vs. Competitors
500 pounds of each type of alloy was heated in a wave solder pot at 500°F for 6 hours. The pot was de-drossed every 3 hours. After 6 hours the amount of dross generated from each type of solder was weighed. AIM’s bar solder has proven to reduce drossing as compared to competitive brands.
