Grobecker, D W; Duran, J B

A comparison is made between joints soldered by ultrasonic methods and specimens soldered by the usual hot iron and flux technique. Test samples of mild steel, copper,aluminum, and stainless steel joined with tin-lead and tin- zinc alloys are compared. Ultrasonic soldering techniques appear to offer an advantage in joining aluminum alloys with tin-zinc solder and copper alloys with tin-lead solder without the utilizition of a fluxing addition. However, the mechanical characteristics of tin-zic soldered joints are degraded by a humidity exposure. (auth)
