NanoFoil® is available in various thicknesses to suit different applications. In each variation, the thickness of each Aluminum and Nickel bi-laye...
At this point in the NanoBond® process, you should have successfully designed, setup, and activated/reacted the NanoFoil® – but how do...
In an earlier post I mentioned that cross-sectioning a NanoBond® was one of my favorite tests. My other favorite test is shear testing. It̵...
With time, cryogenic and vacuum seals wear out and lose their ability to perform. Sometimes the need for replacement is due to heat or con...
Assuming that your application follows the DFNB (design for NanoBond®) guidelines, you are ready to prepare your parts/components for assembly. Wh...
During a NanoBond® reaction, assembly pressure may determine if you create a quality solder joint. There are many details that can influence how ...
It is hard to believe, but 50 years ago, on October 9th, the first visible light LED was demonstrated by Nick Holonyak, Jr. of GE Advanced......
One of my favorite methods of examining a solder bond is cross sectioning. This may not give you a view over the entire area of the bondline, or give ...
As mentioned in a separate post, uniform pressure across a NanoBond® interface is critical for maximum solder bond strength. Uniform pressure is m...
The first time I was taught how to solder (as a child), I was told: “All the surfaces need to be mechanically cleaned and chemically cleaned.&rd...
The first step of the NanoBond® process should usually happen long before the NanoFoil® arrives at your facility. DFM (design for manufacturin...
