The University of Pannonia has partnered with Flex on a government supported research project to improve the performance and reliability of solder technology used in automotive parts production and performance-critical products.

The project entitled ’Flux-minimized Soldering for High Voltage Automotive Products’ is co-funded by Flex, The University of Pannonia and the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (ITM), at a cost of  HUF 1,339,723,068. Its goal is to develop a new type of soldering technology to improve the performance and reliability in high-voltage electronic products like to those used in hybrid and autonomous vehicles.

“The reliability of high-voltage electronic assemblies can be affected by a number of factors”, says Dr. Attila Lukács, Engineering Manager at Flex in Zalaegerszeg.  “We are working with the University of Pannonia to develop a more reliable commercial solution that meets technical, economic and environmental requirements by creating a high-quality solder joint without flux or a minimal amount of flux.”

Flux is a chemical agent used in the soldering process that helps the solder flow onto the work surface to complete a joint. However, it can leave a residue behind that can affect performance, particularly in high-voltage electronic assemblies like those used in the automotive sector.

“Our goal is to meet the growing market demand for an alternative solution”, says Dr. István Szalai, Professor from The University of Pannonia. “Working with Flex, one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world and their Failure Analysis laboratory in Zalaegerszeg brings significant intellectual value and commercial know-how to this venture.”

Addressing the issues of ionic contamination from flux residues, ion migration, material precipitation, creep currents, and so on, will require the team to investigate solutions including surface cleaning and activation with atmospheric pressure plasma. This collaboration is important for the competitiveness of the region and supports the growing automotive sector in Hungary.

The ExxonMobil Business Support Center awaits purposeful, curious and motivated students who seek challenges and become active participants in the multicultural environment that ExxonMobil provides them with their youthful impetus and thirst for knowledge. In Hungary they focus mainly on controlling and commercial activities, so it has strengthened its relationship with the Faculty of Business and Economics.

This cooperation does not rely solely on short-term internships. Within the framework of closer cooperation, it proposes topics for dissertations and diploma theses, contributes to the organization of case study competitions, and professionally supports the preparation of students for the Scientific Student Conference.

The University of Pannonia and ExxonMobil build on each other’s professional experience, so they organize courses and trainings for effective knowledge sharing.

The ExxonMobil offered scholarship opportunities, conference participation, and sponsorship of competitions to the University of Pannonia, with which they contribute to the development of university talent and the achievement of excellence. The university provides an opportunity for ExxonMobil Business Support Center professionals to share their knowledge with future generations as guest speakers and contribute to practice-oriented, collaborative education.

The cooperation framework agreement was signed on behalf of the University of Pannonia by Dr. András Gelencsér, Rector and Chancellor Zsolt Csillag, on behalf of the ExxonMobil Business Support Center by Jeroen Kirschbaum and Jeroen Strating at the headquarters of ExxonMobil in Budapest.
