Induction Soldering

What is Induction Soldering?

Induction soldering is an induction heating procedure in which two isolated parts are bonded together using a filler metal or other material. The filler metal can change depending on the other parts being joined, but the most common fillers for induction soldering include alloys such as tin-zinc, tin-silver, and tin-lead. The filler material has a lower melting point than the work pieces being joined together. Induction soldering heats the work pieces in an RF (radio frequency) field without making any physical contact with the parts. Induction heating is an excellent solution as it lets you regulate the process of soldering and avoid thermal stress. Soldering varies from brazing because it is performed at lower temperatures and preferable for some applications like small components.
