Flux-less direct soldering of aluminum by ultrasonic surface activation

Abstract: Effective flux-less soldering of aluminum has been realized in a process that combines ultrasonic abrasive activation of aluminum surface and subsequent reflowing. In this method, a sheet of solder sprinkled with a controlled amount of fine alumina powder is placed against aluminum surface and subjected to in-plane ultrasonic vibration under low clamping pressure (20 MPa) at room temperature for a short duration (~ 1 s). This disrupts the oxide on the aluminum surface and purges oxygen from the solder-aluminum… Show more

“…When ultrasonic was applied, Ti fragments were formed and stirred into the Al alloy, forming a mixed zone beside the interface. This was considered due to the ultrasonic erosion effect, which was in accordance with former studies [24-26]. Pores were also observed in the Al alloy, and this was attributed to the turbulent plastic flows which were introduced by ultrasonic and Ti fragments.…”

“…It is crucial to first acquire the best wettability and spread-ability of the used solders in order to enable capillary phenomena and a tight filling of the soldering gap with liquid solder [6]. As a result, the choice of solders and fluxes, two auxiliary materials for flame soldering, has a significant impact on the quality of a soldered joint [7].…”
