In the current business and economic climate of the world, the prudent management of energy is crucial, especially in technological manufacturing. An exemplary approach to energy efficiency is evident in innovative soldering techniques, particularly inductive (induction) soldering. Unlike conventional methods that heat the entire soldering component, inductive (induction) soldering focuses solely on the soldering area, achieving precise energy transfer to the specific component section.
A diverse range of experiences supports this approach, whether in applications like surface hardening, boasting energy savings exceeding 80% compared to furnace hardening, or in other inductive manufacturing processes such as preheating and postheating of welding seams, joining and loosening of shrink joints, and, notably, soldering.
This book thoroughly explores the applications of inductive (induction) heating in soldering. Inductive (induction) soldering, in comparison to alternative methods, provides numerous opportunities for efficiently and accurately soldering various high-quality components, both in small-scale productions and fully automated processes for large-scale series. The strategic use of suitable inductors plays a pivotal role in achieving optimal results.
Primarily designed for practicing engineers involved in enhancing or implementing new soldering processes, the work also caters to a broader audience, including students, technicians, and mechanics interested in the intricacies of induction soldering.
Special appreciation goes to Gerhard Grübe, M.Sc. in engineering, from Berlin, Professor Harry Conrad, Ph.D. in engineering, from Dresden, and Professor Egbert Baake, Ph.D. in engineering, from the Institute of Electrical Process Engineering at Leibnitz University in Hanover for their invaluable contributions and critical review of the work.
