We have updated the Table of Specialty Alloys and Solders, added new tables for fluxes and improved the graphics. And yes, the periodic table is still there, as well.
The wall chart is a ready reference for a quick check of the melting temperature of an alloy or one of its unique properties. The chart will help to compare different properties of alloys to narrow down your solder selection.
Indium Corporation is a quality supplier of preforms, Informs, wire, ribbon and foil, as well as, solder pastes, liquid fluxes and epoxies. If you need assistance you can contact an Indium Corporation Applications Engineers anywhere in the world. Our location information is on the chart. Call us to discuss your application and we will help you determine which form of solder will give you the best performance in your application.
