ECM soldering technologies for small businesses. Final report/project accomplishments summary, project number 93-KCPP-015-E1
The purpose of this outreach project was to demonstrate, transfer, and educate multiple small and medium-sized US firms in the methodology and technology of environmentally conscious manufacturing soldering techniques. Consultation on replacement solvents for ozone-depleting chemicals, low residue/no clean soldering, and lead-free solder alloys were examples of available FM and T expertise. Depending upon the needs, materials engineering or process engineering help was made available under the program. Requesting businesses could obtain up to 250 hours of assistance from AlliedSignal FM and T on these efforts. The participating companies mainly requested assistance with their immediate needs. Examples of assistance provided included specialized training for their particular product line. FM and T Solder Certification School has an excellent reputation and responded with solder training and help with course outlines for the requesters. One company reported problems soldering certain components. FM and T evaluations determined that the company was received components with solderability levels that did not meet specification rather than experiencing a soldering process problem. Other companies received assistance in incorporating lead-free soldering materials into their production lines and development assistance with fluxless soldering processes. The project was terminated when it was determined that this need could be served by FM and T`s current Technical Assistance Program.
