The manufactured Arconium has been bought out and no longer makes the wire It's a lead free replacement for solder. However, it has some severe limitations. For example, it can't be used to solder copper because it alloys with the copper forming a brittle mess. Some techy details from the Indium Corp at: http://www.indium.com/techlibrary/applicationnotes.php One of the major applications of indium is gold soldering. The addition of indium reduces the tendency for gold to disolve into the joint. Some other indium applications are listed at: http://www.indium.com/products/indiummetal.php Its ability to bond glass, quartz, and ceramics make it useful for RF semiconductors, hybrids, and ceramic substrate soldering. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831.336.2558 voice http://www.LearnByDestroying.com # http://802.11junk.com # # AE6KS |
