Abstract

In soldering processes according to prior art, there is often an insufficient tie-up to a substrate of a component. A method in which no voids occur during the soldering processes is provided. A temperature pattern is proposed according to the method in which the temperature is lowered successively during the soldering operation.

Claims (17)

1. A method for soldering a component by a solder material, comprising: soldering the component using a first temperature plateau; and soldering the component using a second temperature plateau; wherein a temperature of the second temperature plateau is lower than a temperature of the first temperature plateau; wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau is lowered to below the temperature of the second temperature plateau and is raised again to the temperature of the second temperature plateau; and wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau is cooled to below 650° C. before raising again to the temperature of the second temperature plateau.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solder material is heated to a temperature of the first temperature plateau and is held with the temperature of the first temperature plateau for a specific time period when starting the soldering.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the first temperature plateau is a highest temperature in the soldering.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the second temperature plateau is at least 90° C. lower than the temperature of the first temperature plateau.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau is cooled to below 540° C. before raising again to the temperature of the second temperature plateau.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau is cooled to below a room temperature before raising again to the temperature of the second temperature plateau.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau decreases continuously.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a third temperature plateau is used for the soldering.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the temperature of the third temperature is at least 20° C. lower than a temperature of the second temperature plateau.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a fourth temperature plateau is used for the soldering.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a temperature of the fourth temperature plateau is a lowest temperature in the soldering.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the first temperature plateau is higher than a customarily used soldering temperature for the solder material.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the temperature of the first temperature plateau is at least 10° C. higher than the customarily used soldering temperature for the solder material.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the soldering is performed in a substrate of the component by a soldering insert.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the substrate comprises RENE80 or Alloy LC CC.

16. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the soldering insert comprises IN625 or Hastelloy X.

17. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solder material comprises NI105, CO101, or AMDRY 788.
