Welding Technology of Gold Alloy

Abstract:

Conducting ring is an electric transmission device to achieve current, video, data signal and power transmission between two relatively slewing mechanism, so it has been widely used in all kinds of precision turntable and inertial navigation equipment. The slip ring and brush wire of conducting ring are connected to other equipment by copper wire or copper transfer metal plates. Currently, Eutectic 63Sn-37Pb solder and electric iron manual welding are often used. But for gold alloy, when SnPb solder is used, gold element will dissolve in solder because Au dissolves in Sn easily, and brittleness intermetallic was produced at the interface during cooling, which embrittled the joint. This paper analyzed the solderability of gold alloy and copper, summed up the research status of soldering technology of gold alloy and copper in China and abroad. It pointed out that it is necessary and urgent to develop soldering technology of gold alloy with copper.
