It is a process in which two electrically conductive materials are joined using a filler material that melts at a low temperature. This differs from brazing because it is performed at lower temperatures. Induction generates an electromagnetic field in a work coil. This induces currents in the conductive material of a workpiece placed within or near the coil. Friction from these currents heats the workpieces and solder. [Can we help?](https://www.ambrell.com/contact-us-request-process?lead_origin=soldering&linked_from=Soldering%20[EN]&appnote_title=none) ## Benefits of Soldering with Induction - Delivers precise, localized heat - Increases production rates with faster heating cycles - Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heating - Eliminates variability from part to part - Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals This is accomplished without open flame or the restrictions of a batch process.

Induction soldering delivers energy only where it's needed, so it delivers faster heating times, reduces potential for process error, enhances process control and saves energy. The amount of power available in the induction system determines if you can use the same system. Electrically conductive materials such as copper, brass, steel and aluminum work best for this process. Soldering is performed at lower temperatures than brazing and may result in a slightly weaker joint, but one that's preferable for some applications such as those involving small components. ## soldering Resources ##### Select an option below: - Application Note Volumes - Featured Video - More Resources ## Get 10 Soldering Application Notes [](https://www.ambrell.com/appnote-request?lead_origin=soldering&appnote_filename=Soldering%20Volume%201&appnote_title=Soldering%20Volume%201&narration=We%20have%20collected%2010%20of%20THE%20LAB's%20most%20popular%20soldering%20application%20notes%20to%20help%20you%20understand%20the%20many%20ways%20induction%20heating%20can%20improve%20your%20precision%20soldering%20process.&linked_from=Ambrell's%20Induction%20Soldering%20|%20Application%20Notes%20&%20Guides) We have collected 10 of THE LAB's most popular soldering application notes to help you understand the many ways induction heating can improve your precision soldering process. ## 10 Induction Heating Application Notes [](https://www.ambrell.com/appnote-request?lead_origin=soldering&appnote_filename=Induction%20Heating%20Application%20Notes%20Volume%201&appnote_title=Induction%20Heating%20Application%20Notes%20Volume%201&narration=We%20have%20collected%20these%2010%20popular%20Application%20Notes%20to%20help%20you%20understand%20the%20many%20ways%20induction%20heating%20can%20improve%20your%20heating%20processes.&linked_from=Ambrell's%20Induction%20Soldering%20|%20Application%20Notes%20&%20Guides)We have collected these 10 popular Application Notes to help you understand the many ways induction heating can improve your heating processes.
