| 20090159649 | Soldering method - Embodiments of the present invention provide a soldering method capable of satisfactorily melting a solder without damaging a workpiece be soldered. One embodiment of a soldering method removes component waves of predetermined wavelengths from a light beam emitted by a light source and melts a solder by irradiating the solder with a light beam obtained by removing the component waves of the predetermined wavelengths from the light beam emitted by the light source. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090266871 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAM SOLDERING - Beam soldering involves using a beam of light emitted from a source to reflow adjoining pairs of solder pads on components being joined. In some scenarios, material between adjacent solder pads on at least one of the components is absorptive of a certain spectrum of light and, consequently, can be damaged by such spectrum of light. A beam soldering tool is configured with a filter through which the light from the light source travels to a plurality of adjoining pairs of solder pads. The filter filters out a certain spectrum of light which could otherwise be damaging to material between adjacent solder pads. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20080272181 | METHOD FOR MAKING NANOSTRUCTURED SOLDERED OR BRAZED JOINTS WITH REACTIVE MULTILAYER FOILS - Self-propagating formation reactions in nanostructured multilayer foils provide rapid bursts of heat at room temperature and therefore can act as local heat sources to melt solder or braze layers and join materials. This reactive joining method provides very localized heating to the components and rapid cooling across the joint. The rapid cooling results in a very fine microstructure of the solder or braze material. The scale of the fine microstructure of the solder or braze material is dependant on cooling rate of the reactive joints which varies with geometries and properties of the foils and components. The microstructure of the solder or braze layer of the joints formed by melting solder in a furnace is much coarser due to the slow cooling rate. Reactive joints with finer solder or braze microstructure show higher shear strength compared with those made by conventional furnace joining with much coarser solder or braze microstructure. It is expected that the reactive joints may also have better fatigue properties compared with conventional furnace joints. | 11-06-2008 |
