Read MoreIndium Corporation manufactures flux-cored solder wire for a variety of processes, including automated or robotic soldering for large job lots, or jobs where other processes are not feasible. By providing reliable, high-quality robotic soldering materials, coupled with our world-class soldering expertise and knowledge, we can improve your processes and yields.
Our flux-cored soldering wire manufacturing capabilities gives you void-free wire that is consistent in diameter and wound in highly precise even layers throughout the spool. Flux-cored wire can contain a range of flux core sizes, from 1% up to 4.5% or more. By optimizing the core size, it facilitates the soldering process and eliminates the need for a separate flux, streamlining automated processes.
Excellent Quality on Every Spool of Wire
- Void-free flux core
- Even-layer precision winding
- Fluxes achieve highest activity acceptable given reliability concerns (J-STD-004B)
- All alloys comply with J-STD-006
Available Features
- No-spattering for improved yields and enhanced cleanliness
- REACH Compliance
- Turbo-charged wetting
- Halogen free
CW-818 Flux-Cored Wire
CW-818 provides fast wetting speeds to minimize cycle times in manual and robotic soldering processes. This halide-free, no-clean formula leaves a clear, non-tacky residue even when using high tip temperatures. The heat resistant and low-spatter properties of this core flux provide an assembly with excellent visual appearance.
