Innovative C-Solder Enables Joining of Carbon Materials

Goodfellow is pleased to announce the availability of C-Solder, the trade name for a group of new tin-based, flux-free soldering alloy that enables the joining of carbon materials. The resulting bond is both mechanically strong and electrically conductive.

With C-Solder you can join…

• Carbon materials including carbon fibres or carbon nanotube fibres in carbon-carbon arrangements
• Carbon to metals (e.g., copper aluminium, titanium, stainless steel), ceramics and glass materials
• Aluminium to aluminium without using flux

Key features of C-Solder

• Melting point: 232 ˚C (solidus temperature)
• Density: Approximately 7.4 g/cm³
• Excellent flow
• Good wetting of surfaces to be joined
• Electrically and thermally conductive
• Not affected by cleaning solvents
• Does not leave a residue
• Not flammable
• Flux-free and lead-free
