Title: Masaaki Namatame and His Solder-Junctioning Invention.

Introduction

Masaaki Namatame is an inventor associated with Amagasaki, Japan. His patent work includes a solder material and a method for joining objects while controlling the gap between them and reducing stress.

Latest Patents

Namatame is credited with 1 patent: “Solder Material, Junctioning Method, Junction Material, and …”. The invention describes a solder material made with a first solder plate and thinner second solder plates on both sides. The second solder material melts at a lower temperature than the first solder, either directly or by forming a lower-melting-point alloy with it.

The joining method places this material between two objects, heats it until the second solder or alloy melts without melting the first solder, and then cools or holds the material near its melting point to form the joint. The patent describes second solder plates preferably less than 5 microns thick and a first solder plate at least 30 microns thick. This arrangement is intended to control the distance between joined objects, reduce stress, and prevent positional displacement.

Career Highlights
