The electrolysis method involves passing an electric current through an electrolyte or a molten substance at the cathode and anode(Also known as electrolyte)The process of REDOX reactions occurs. Under an applied voltage, the electrolysis process will take place,Electrolytic solder rods are made by electrolyzing at high temperatures to remove the excess elements from their solder to ensure the quality of the solder Purity: The solder after electrolysis has a high purity, with less tin slag after melting and bright solder joints. The utilization efficiency of solder rods High rate, without electrolysisSolder rodThe tin dots are dirty and there is an excessive amount of tin slag, resulting in low utilization efficiency,Below, JJY solder Paste Manufacturer will introduce the price for everyone:

Electrolytic solder rods do not emerge in the production process of lead-free solder rods, but they also exist in the production process of leaded solder rods. Electrolytic solder rods refer to the process of electrolyzing, refining and purifying tin. They are solder rods that have undergone high-temperature electrolysis to remove the excess elements in the solder to ensure the purity of the solder. Solder rods after electrolysis have high purity, less tin droplet after melting, and bright solder joints. The utilization efficiency of solder rods is high. It can be understood that electrolysis is a step in the production process of solder rods. It should be noted that the composition of electrolytic solder rods is high-purity tin metal. After a series of vacuum deoxidation treatments, the degree of oxidation and the impurity content of metals and non-metals are precisely controlled. It should be noted that this series of processes must be carried out in a bimetallic electrolysis workshop and there must be strict quality management conditions.


Lead-free tin bar


For the solder rods produced from primary tin, the main function of the electrolytic process is to extract solder with higher purity. If the tin ingot is pure tin electrolyzed, the solder rods produced will have higher purity accuracy, excellent wettability and solderability, full and uniform solder joints, and excellent soldering effect. If the electrolysis of recycled tin can reduce the amount of tin slag, filter out residues and other impurities, it is an economical solder rod that saves tin. This type of solder bar is the kind of solder that we see on the market with a price lower than the market price. Some manufacturers, in order to save costs, will purchase it for the tin dipping process of some components with low soldering requirements.

The solder manufacturer suggests that customers choose solder rods produced from raw tin from regular companies. The solder liquid surface of such solder rods is as bright as a mirror, with very little oxide slag, making them suitable for high-precision instruments and high-demand electronic products. It has a short wetting time and good fluidity, and is suitable for any form of hot-dip welding or wave soldering. The main advantages are:

High purity, less tin slag, and full and bright solder joints;

Excellent wettability, solderability and oxidation resistance;

Applicable to various soldering operation methods;

The appearance of the components after welding is clean, bright and free of contaminants.

For instance, the environmental-friendly tin strips have been tested in compliance with environmental protection standardsROHSThe standard avoids common quality phenomena such as sharpening and bridging, eliminating after-sales concerns and other worries. It improves efficiency during wave soldering operations, reduces solder strip slag, effectively saves costs and protects the machine from damage. A common type of tin bar in circulation on the market is also known as an economical tin bar. Some customers, in pursuit of lower prices, purchase it. During the tin dipping and wave peak processes, the output of impurities and scum is higher than that of the original tin produced by regular manufacturers, making it difficult to achieve consistent quality.
