AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fluxes fail to effectively wet solder to enameled aluminum wire without stripping the enamel, unlike enameled copper wire, due to insufficient solderability and inability to dissolve the enamel coating.

Method used

A flux composition comprising rosin ester, a glycol solvent with a phenyl group, and an organic hydrofluoric acid salt is used to melt the enamel and dissolve the oxide film on the aluminum conductor, allowing soldering without enamel stripping.

Benefits of technology

The flux enables successful soldering of enameled aluminum wire by wetting the solder to the enamel-coated aluminum wire without stripping the enamel, ensuring a reliable electrical connection.

Abstract

Hitherto, there has been no flux with which an enameled aluminum wire can be soldered to an adherend without removal of the enamel. The present invention provides a flux comprising a rosin ester, a rosin that is not the rosin ester, a solvent which is diethylene glycol monophenyl ether and / or propylene glycol monophenyl ether, and an organic salt of hydrofluoric acid (as an activator). The flux enables an enameled aluminum wire to be wetted with a solder and soldered to an adherend without necessitating removal of the enamel.
