ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

This site is a first stop for technical resources, discussion, and news related to lead-free solder technology. Links to databases, PowerPoint presentations, publications, conferences, and workshops on lead-free solder technology, as recommended by experts in this field, have been collected here. The initial content for the lead-free solders community was assembled by a panel of experts in the field, but the site will be sustained by contributions from members of the international materials community—professionals like you. Visitors are invited to guide the future direction of this site by submitting resources, participating in the discussion boards, and providing user reviews for resources on the site. Content is updated regularly, so visit often for information on new developments in the field.
