William Rowland supply & produce a comprehensive range of both Lead Free & leaded soldering materials for electronics production encompassing through-hole wave/selective/robotic & hand soldering products. SMT materials include cored solder wires and solder pastes.
Soldering is the process of joining two metals by heating them to a temperature where the solder melts and flows together to form a strong bond. It is used in electronics, plumbing, and metalwork to connect or repair metal components. In electronics soldering, a filler metal (solder) with a lower melting point than the base metal is melted and flowed into the joint, filling the gap and creating a permanent bond when it cools and solidifies.
For electronics soldering, lead-free solder is the preferred option due to its lower toxicity and environmental impact compared to traditional lead-based solders. Some common lead-free solders used in electronics are tin-silver-copper (SAC), tin-copper (SnCu), and tin-bismuth (SnBi). The choice of solder depends on various factors, such as the type of component being soldered, operating temperature required for the soldering process, and the desired characteristics of the final joint (e.g. strength, flexibility, wetting etc.). It is important to use the correct type of solder and soldering techniques to ensure reliable and long-lasting connections in electronic circuits.
