As a vital component of electronic products, the quality printed circuit board (PCB) assembly directly affects applications and service life. During reflow soldering process, PCB may suffer excessive warpage. Therefore, in order to avoid such failure, this paper conducts finite element simulation temperature change deformation process according theoretical model for heat transfer then explores ...

Background: Different soldering techniques have a variety of applications in dentistry. One of the most important uses of soldering is to join multiple-unit fixed partial dentures together. In this Study, two base metal alloys (Supercast and Minalux) were soldered  and their tensile, compressive and flexural strengths were measured and compared to each other. Materials and methods: In this ...

Most occupational asthma from electronic solder fluxes is due to colophony (1, 2). We report the first case of occupational asthma to electronic colophony-free gel flux predominantly containing dodecanedioic acid. The patient worked as an electronics instructor from 1999; he initially used solder wire and a separate flux (both colophony). In 2002, he changed to a colophony-free solder wire (pre...

OBJECT The goal of this study was to use a modified version of the CO2 laser-soldering system to develop a simple and reliable technique for the repair of dural defects after excision of brain tumors. METHODS The authors used a CO2 fiber optic laser system that they had developed for heating, monitoring, and controlling tissue temperature in situ and in real time, thereby reducing damage to t...

AIM To explore the feasibility and reliability of CO₂ laser soldering on the reconstruction of dura mater in the minipig model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten minipigs were divided into 2 groups as Group A (n=5) and Group B (n=5). Bilateral fronto-parietal craniotomy was performed and 2 cm × 1 cm dural defect created under general anesthesia. Then, the defect was repaired with autologous temporalis...

Gold coated silica core nanoparticles have an optical response dictated by the plasmon resonance. The wavelength at which the resonance occurs depends on the core and shell sizes, allowing nanoshells to be tailored for particular applications. The purposes of this study was to synthesize and use different concentration of gold nanoshells as exogenous material for skin tissue soldering and also ...

An inadequate fit at the abutment/implant interface can generate mechanical and biological problems. The laboratorial stages could induce misfit in such interface when the castable UCLA abutment type is used. The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate the performance of three prosthetic laboratories (Labs A, B and C) by vertical fit analysis of castable UCLA abutments on the castin...

This study discusses the automated visual inspection of electronic boards used in mass production power electronics equipment. Soldering splashes, produced during necessary manufacturing stages, can affect hybrid semiconductor modules' quality, specifications and lifespan. Splashes from soldering may appear some areas when they cause decreasing quality these need to be removed. Image analysis a...
