Fluxless Aluminum Soldering

Soldering to aluminum requires special fluxes or techniques to break through the natural surface oxide film and allow the flux to bond. SBT solders easily break through the oxide layer to react quickly and irreversibly with the aluminum metal without the use of additional chemicals.

 

There are a range of solders available with different service temperatures from 100°C to 390°C, as well as a broad range of bond strengths. These same products also join well to copper, aluminum silicon carbide, and other thermal management materials and allow fluxless assembly of complete thermal management systems.


Our engineers, technicians, and scientists are experienced with all aspects of joining and assembly processes, as well as the design requirements for many different applications. As part of our commitment to service, we are happy to offer advice on the proper joining material for your application, provide recommendations on optimum design, and provide guidance on implementing a commercial process.

We also offer a range of application development, prototype construction, and assembly services in our shop and through our S-Bond® Service Provider network. These include:

Assembly of prototype parts for customer testing and determination of commercial scale production costs;

 

Design of tooling and assembly processes, including demonstration of commercial assembly processes;

 

"Make complete" for systems assembled with our materials, such as thermal management devices and equipment subassemblies;

 

High volume contract manufacturing.
