Pre-ceramic soldering
DISADVANTAGES
Difficult (narrow melting range) • Volatilization of base metal (overheating)
• Microporosity or pitting
• Not good bond with porcelain • Color
• Corrosion
POST-CERAMIC SOLDERING
advantages
Less chance of sag or deformation of the framework
• Slightlyweaker andmorebrittlesolder joint since framework can’t be quenched • Small gap space for solder = incomplete
joint
• Large gap space for solder = decreases
strength, higher porosity, higher meniscus, more difficult to solder
• TORCH SOLDERING
Use for pre-ceramic soldering mc FDP soldering full gold FDP s
Difficult for post-ceramic soldering
OVEN SOLDERING
Use for pre and post-ceramic soldering
Can use vacuum Visualization is more difficult
INFRARED SOLDERING
Can be used for low-fusing connectors and pre-ceramic soldered joints
Uses special unit with an infrared light
Graphite or iron oxide (rouge) with turpentine as a solvent are often used as
antiflux
SOLDERING FLUX
A substance applied to the metal surface to be soldered to remove oxides or prevent their formation.
Borax Glass (Na2B4O7) used with Au alloys. Other fluxes available for non Au alloys are available, some of their formulas are not published.
SOLDERING INVESTMENTS
• Are similar to regular casting investments. • Contain fused quartz (lowest expanding
form of silica) as a refractory component.
POST-CERAMIC SOLDERING HEATING SCHEDULE
- Burn-out Duralay in burnout oven 15-20 minutes at 300 oF
- Place in porcelain oven at 1200 oF and allow all carbon residue to be eliminated.
- Coat piece of solder with small amount of flux (do not allow the flux to contact porcelain).
- After a few minutes (3 min) raise temperature to 1620 oF and watch through the furnace door until solder melts.
- Remove immediately and lower furnace temperature and evaluate solder joint.
