Induction Soldering Stainless Steel To Wire

Induction Soldering Stainless Steel To Wire With IGBT High Frequency Heating Units

Objective Heat Stainless steel connector for soldering application inย automotive wire harness manufacturing
Material Stainless steel connector 1.57โ€ (40mm) long, 0.6โ€ (15mm) ODย & 0.4โ€ (10mm) thick. Lead free solder
Temperature 392 ยบF (200 ยบC)
Frequency 352 kHz
Equipment โ€ข DW-UHF-6kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing one 1 ฮผF capacitor.
โ€ข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A two turn channel coil is used for soldering the connector toย the wire harness. The stainless steel connector and wireย harness are placed in the coil for 20 seconds for the solder to
fill just the top of the connector.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โ€ข By precisely heating the metal, the plastic shroud is notย directly heated
โ€ข Reduced production cost
โ€ข Faster process time, reduced production cost
โ€ข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โ€ข Even distribution of heating

Induction Soldering Stainless Steel Tubing

Induction Soldering Stainless Steel Tubing with IGBT Soldering Heating Units

Objective Heat a.125โ€ (3.175mm) diameter stainless steel tube to a 1โ€ย diameter cylinder 1โ€ (25.4mm) tall for a soldering application
Material Stainless steel cylinder and tube
Temperature indicating paint
Lead free solder preform rings
Temperature 300-400 ยบF (150-205 ยบC)
Frequency 235 kHz
Equipment DW-UHF-4.5 kW, 150-400 kHz induction power supply,ย equipped with a remote heat station containing two 0.66 ฮผFย capacitors (total 1.32 ฮผF).
A three-turn pancake coil induction heating coil designed andย developed specifically for this application.
Process Initial tests without solder ensured that the metal reaches theย required temperature and the heating pattern on the part.Solder preform rings are placed onto the tube at the joint. Theย part is placed inside the induction-heating coil heated until theย solder melts.
Results/Benefits Programmable and adjustable heating ramp rates achieve theย desired heat profile. Too fast a heat profile does not conductย the heat through the joint and too slow a heat cycle vaporizes
or dries the flux causing poor solder flow.
