SCHOTT Solder Glasses
The choice of solder glass for joining different materials is dependent on four major aspects:
- Desired soldering temperature
- Thermal expansion of the materials to be joined
- Operation temperature of the final application
- Chemical behavior
Please refer to the table below for details on standard SCHOTT solder glass types. We have a wide range of solder glasses available in a number of different grain sizes.
