Solder Coatings

TMI offers both thin (less than 25 microns) and thick (up to 0.5mm) coatings of solder. These coatings provide a layer or stripes of solder on a metallic surface, eliminating solder preforms or paste, and reducing labor and assembly costs.

    The Thin Solder Process

    • Used as a protective coating when parts need to maintain their solderability
    • Solder stripes or overlays can be rolled to increase solder hardness for improved stamping performance
    • Stripes or overlays can be on one or both sides
    • Stripes can be on the edges or any specific location desired
    • Base metal can be any non-refractory alloy including steels, copper and brasses, and beryllium copper
    • Base metal can be any temper
    • Any type solder, from pure tin to multiple alloy combinations
    • Achieves a fused solder structure, preventing tin whisker growth and having a shelf-life of several years

    The Thick Solder Process
     

    Reflow Solder
    • Thick solder can be applied to one side, with thin solder on the opposite side
    • Inlay stripes can be on one or both sides
    • Narrow overlays (</=0.250") can be on one or both sides
    • Wide overlays (>/=0.250) on one side only
    • Stripes can be on the edges or any specific location desired
    • Any type solder, from pure tin to multiple alloy combinations
    • Base metal can be any non-refractory alloy
    • Base metal can be any temper
    • Unlimited skive configurations
    Pressure-Bonded Solder
    • Stripes or complete overlays can be on one or both sides
    • Base metal limited to hard tempers
    • Any solder type, from pure tin to multiple alloy combinations
    • Base metal can be any non-refractory alloy
