Shielding the RF waves generated by an MRI machine is mandatory. Soldered copper is one the metals used for RF shielding because it absorbs radio and other electromagnetic waves and easily conforms to any odd angles, while not requiring much maintenance.

Gold-Tin (AuSn) Solder Paste
Gold-Tin (AuSn) Solder Paste is generally used in applications that require a high-melting temperature (80Au20Sn has a melting point of 280°C / 556°F). It can be made into a variety of solder paste forms with various options to address specific applications. It exhibits good thermal fatigue properties and is used in many applications that require high tensile strength and high corrosive resistance. In step soldering applications,Gold-tin (AuSn) Solder Paste will not melt during a subsequent low-temperature reflow process.
