O-clean flux: One-step to eliminate tedious cleaning
Publish Time: 2024-12-24
No-clean flux refers to a type of flux used in the welding process that can simplify the production process and reduce costs without the need for additional cleaning steps after welding. This type of flux is usually low in residue, non-corrosive and low in pollution, so that the surface of the solder joint remains clean after welding and does not damage the circuit board or other electronic components.Why do we need no-clean flux?Improve production efficiency: Traditional flux needs to be cleaned after welding to remove residue, which increases production time and cost. No-clean flux eliminates this step, thereby speeding up production.Reduce environmental pollution: The cleaning process often requires the use of chemical solvents, which may be harmful to the environment and the health of operators. No-clean flux reduces the use of chemicals and helps protect the environment.Reduce costs: It not only reduces the investment and maintenance costs of cleaning equipment, but also saves water and energy consumption, as well as the cost of manual cleaning.Improve product quality: Residual flux may cause circuit shorts or corrosion, affecting the long-term reliability of the product. The low residue characteristics of no-clean flux help improve product stability.How no-clean flux worksNo-clean flux is usually composed of active ingredients, carriers and additives. Active ingredients help remove oxides and improve the wettability of solder; carriers are responsible for dispersing active ingredients; additives provide additional functions, such as improving fluidity or controlling the amount of residue.During the soldering process, flux works with solder to help the molten solder better adhere to the materials being soldered and form a strong connection. Since no-clean flux is designed to minimize residues, they tend to have a lower solid content and the residues are non-conductive and will not cause electrical problems.Application scenariosElectronic manufacturing: especially in high-density and high-reliability electronic products, such as aerospace, medical devices, etc.Automotive industry: Automotive electronic systems have extremely high requirements for reliability and durability, and no-clean flux can ensure welding quality.Consumer electronics: such as smartphones, tablets, etc., pursue efficient production and high quality standards.In short, no-clean flux achieves the convenience of no additional cleaning after welding through its special design, while ensuring welding quality and environmental protection. It is an increasingly popular choice in modern electronic manufacturing.
