Title: Innovations by Lawrence C Kay
Introduction
Lawrence C Kay is a notable inventor based in Sherman Oaks, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of soldering technology, holding a total of four patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and reliability of soldering processes, particularly in the context of lead-free soldering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents involves a soldering process that purifies molten solder in-situ. This innovation enhances the soldering process, yielding better results, especially for lead-free soldering applications. The process reduces the temperature required for reliable soldering, making lead-free solder more practical. An active additive layer is maintained on the surface of the molten solder to scavenge metal oxide and assimilate it into a liquid layer. This active additive is an organic liquid with nucleophilic and/or electrophilic groups. For instance, a layer of dimer acid on a wave soldering apparatus effectively scavenges metal oxide from the bath and assimilates dross that may form on the surface. This scavenging action cleanses the bath, lowers the viscosity of the solder, and ensures reliable solder joints on PC boards or similar components.
