Indium Corporation and Metallic Resources, Inc. have entered into an agreement allowing Indium to globally market and manufacture Metallic Resources’ patent pending Cobalt995 (99 Sn 0.5 Cu <0.05 Co) Pb-free alloy. Cobalt 995 is an alternative to SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) alloys that not only costs less than the silver-containing SAC alloys, but also exhibits brighter, shinier, and smoother solder joints in standard wave soldering applications. Metallic Resources has been successfully marketing Cobalt 995 for wave, HASL, and SMT applications for over a year and has a significant installed customer base. Indium Corporation will use its expertise to develop complimentary and compatible cored wire and solder paste products as well as market its Bar Solder for wave applications. Indium Corporation’s technological development, technical support, and global capability, combined with Metallic Resources’ advanced alloy and electrolytic capabilities, make this high performance alloy ideal for solder customers worldwide.
