Available Lead-Free Solder Alloys
Indium Corporation offers custom alloy development for specific
temperature requirements and for special metallizations as well as
non-metal bonding applications. Indium Corporation has been developing
lead-free and cadmium-free alloys for many years. We have over 25
standard alloys, including our three patented alloys (see notes below).
Or we can develop an alloy for your specific application.
If you would like to evaluate several of these alloys,
consider our
Wire Selector
Kit, which offers many choices without cadmium or lead. |
