On-site Nitrogen Generators Improve Electronics Manufacturing

,

Nitrogren Gas in Electronics Manufacturing

In today’s world of electronics manufacturing, it’s all about using surface mount technology. Not only are these devices safer and easier to produce than their leaded predecessors, they also perform better—as long as they are created under the right conditions. That’s where nitrogen gas generators from On Site Gas Systems comes in.

Why Nitrogen Gas for Electronics Manufacturing?

It’s no secret that the manufacturing of electronics is complex, and the process requires precision—there is no room for error. Nitrogen gas works to ensure this perfection is achieved in three ways:

  • Maintains the Ideal Atmosphere – Electronics manufacturing calls for a very specific temperature and environment to work successfully. With nitrogen gas, both can be achieved and sustained throughout the entire workday.
  • Produces Crisper Results – Pure nitrogen gas is also required in electronics manufacturing to ensure sharp finishes. It cuts down on the amount of dross that is formed in the soldering process, while also reducing surface tension to allow the solder to cleanly break away.
  • Prevents Oxidation – In convection reflow and selective soldering, nitrogen gas is crucial in order to eliminate the oxygen from the air, otherwise oxidation can occur, which weakens the solder. With nitrogen gas, the amount of oxygen is greatly reduced so the integrity of the solder can remain intact.

Why an On-site Nitrogen Generator?

The need for nitrogen gas in electronics manufacturing is clear, and when you break it down, so is the need for an on-site nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems. Here’s why:

  • Eliminates Dependency – When electronics manufacturers need nitrogen gas, they oftentimes rely on the delivery of nitrogen gas. However, this causes them to be dependent on someone else for their supply, and it usually requires a contract. With an on-site nitrogen gas generator from On Site Gas Systems, electronics manufacturing companies are able to produce their own nitrogen gas supply. This means they will always have it available when they need it and they don’t have to worry about the logistics of getting nitrogen gas cylinders or N2 bottles
  • An On-Site N2 Generator Reduces Expenses – It is true that there is an upfront cost to get an on-site nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems, but even the Surface Mount Technology Association believes that it is well worth it. Since the nitrogen gas improves the quality of the electronics manufacturing tenfold, there are fewer repairs needed. You can further increase your saving by generating your Nitrogen On Site and On Demand. After a short time, the on-site nitrogen generator will pay for itself by greatly reducing the amount spent for your nitrogen needs.

An on-site nitrogen gas generator from On Site Gas Systems is ideal for use in electronics manufacturing. Not only does it improve the quality of the product and the efficiency of the facility, it also eliminates the need for nitrogen gas deliveries.

Nitrogen Gas Generators for Heat Treating

, ,

Heat Treating, Nitrogen Gas
Nitrogen gas is a lightweight, odorless gas that is common and unassuming, yet, without it, the heat treating process wouldn’t be nearly as effective. This common gas, when produced at a purity of 95% to 99.999% by our N2 generators, is instrumental to ensure a strong and beautiful end result, whether in a kiln or a furnace.

How Nitrogen Gas Helps with Heat Treating

During the heat treating process, two things are found in abundance: heat and pressure. Whether metal or another material is undergoing the heat treating process, oxygen is the enemy. Any metal over 600 degrees Fahrenheit will oxidize if it comes into contact with oxygen. This causes the product to become discolored and weakened. Even if it finishes the heat treating process intact, the item will not be as strong or as beautiful as it could be if no oxygen was present.
That’s where nitrogen gas comes in. Heat treating facilities use nitrogen gas to purge the oxygen from the air to guarantee their product will not come into contact with this quality-ruining gas. With a never-ending supply of nitrogen gas from an N2 generator, they can consistently keep the air free from oxygen and shield the iron, steel, and other metals from oxidization.

How On Site Gas Systems Helps Heat Treating Companies

Since nitrogen gas is so crucial to heat treating, it’s clear that it would be detrimental to run out of the supply during the process. With an N2 generator from On Site Gas Systems, this no longer has to be a concern. Companies can produce their own pure nitrogen gas right onsite, so they can rest easy knowing they will never run out.
Beyond that, heat treating companies love their N2 generators from On Site Gas Systems because they don’t have to bother with scheduling deliveries of nitrogen cylinders, and then waiting around for the driver to show up. They also don’t have to panic if a truck breaks down or there is inclement weather that causes the deliveries to be halted.
Heat treating companies especially love the amount of money they save with an N2 generator from On Site Gas Systems. Not only does an N2 generator quickly recoup the cost of the initial investment in the amount of nitrogen gas it produces, it also improves the quality of the product that is manufactured so less money is wasted on ruined materials.
If you are ready to improve the efficiency of your heat treating process, contact us today. We would love to get you set up with a custom N2 generator system to meet your manufacturing needs.
