Wave and Selective Soldering Seminar

The one-day seminar will impart comprehensive knowledge regarding the wave soldering process with a particular focus on lead-free wave soldering. The seminar, as part of the successful SEHO Academy with more than 500 satisfied attendees worldwide, will help to increase the quality level of the production process and decrease manufacturing costs, thus enabling attendees to realize higher levels of profitability.

Attendees will learn:

• Typical parameters of the wave soldering process

• Flux application and fluxer variants

• The role of preheating and the different types of preheating options

• Lead-free soldering and the difficulties in running a lead-free process

• Optimization of cycle times and the reduction of soldering defects

• Soldering in nitrogen

Dr. Ronny Horn, a graduate physicist, began his career at SEHO in 2004 as product manager for soldering technology. He has written a diploma thesis about thermal characterization of SiC mono-crystals and a dissertation about thermal utilization of solar energy at the Center for Applied Energy Research. Dr. Horn graduated from the University of Wuerzburg in 2011.
