Properties and advantages of our gold solder alloys

Corrosion and oxidation resistance at its core

Unlike standard solder materials, gold solder alloys resist chemical breakdown—even in long-term exposure to air, humidity, or process chemicals. This makes them the top choice for harsh environments, including vacuum applications and exposed assemblies.

Gold solder for vacuum tube technology

Ductility that prevents failure

Our gold solders deform without cracking. This plastic flexibility absorbs stress in dynamic assemblies, such as moving implants or vibrating systems, maintaining stable joint integrity over thousands of cycles. It’s ductility you can depend on—measured and reproducible.

Reliable wetting, even on difficult base materials

Whether bonding to nickel, iron, or cobalt alloys, our gold solder alloys deliver uniform wetting and clean interface formation. This ensures consistent conductivity and mechanical hold—without voids, inclusions, or post-solder defects.

Flux-free operation under controlled atmospheres

In vacuum or inert gas conditions, our gold alloys require no flux at all. This enables ultra-clean joints without post-solder cleaning. If a flux is required, we provide boric acid-based options specifically formulated for noble metal soldering.
