AIM Solder will highlight its novel REL electronic solders, REL22 and REL61, at the SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place on July 12, 2018 at Embassy Suites Cleveland Rockside in Independence, Ohio.

AIM’s new alloys provide the PCB assembly industry with unique solutions to address the limitations of current industry offerings. REL22 is an award-winning, high reliability alloy with durability characteristics that double the reliability of SAC305 in harsh environments. REL61 is a low silver solder alloy that solves the process challenges associated with many other low/no silver solder alloys. With a 10°C lower melting temperature and superior wetting performance versus SAC305, REL61 can lower process temperatures, prevent PCB damage, and reduce costs and waste. AIM's REL alloys are available in paste, wire and bar formats and are engineered for reliability, usability, and cost effectiveness.

Along with their REL alloys, AIM will showcase its full line of advanced solder materials, including its solder pastes, liquid fluxes, tin/lead and lead-free alloys. To discover all of AIM's products and services, visit the company at the SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum for more information and to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.

As the definition of sustainably evolves in the industry, one thing is clear: Process control plays a large role in any definition. Creating a stable process reduces the potential overuse of cleaning materials and increases yields, thereby reducing scrap, and helping the sustainability effort. I recently talked with Tom Forsythe, executive vice president of KYZEN, about the cleaning process and automated bath control.

At the Atlanta SMTA Expo and Tech Forum, I met Neil Hubble, president of the metrology systems provider Akrometrix. If you’re not sure exactly what metrology entails, you’re in luck. In this interview, Neil explains why metrology is becoming a critical part of PCB manufacturing. We also discuss the company’s capital equipment, testing services, and why Akrometrix counts many of the top PCB and semiconductor manufacturing companies in the world as their customers.
