I can't open the picture but if it is webbing and you are running with an alcohol based flux (non VOC free) another thing to check is the Specific Gravity.

Is this after wave or wash? Its too bad the archives are gone this one has come up a bunch of times. Most of the time its caused by rosen or no clean flux being put through a water wash. There are several other possibilities. You will probably hear w

Hi Lloyd, Have you done any ionic analysis to find out what the flux residue is composed of? If you can eliminate the source residue, then your problem obviously should go away. Though tombstoning isn't known to be much of a functional problem it i

Chen, It is always best to place one�s effort on determining the cause and content of the residue rather than trying to work around it. The first thing you must determine is the nature of the residue. Is it flux? In many instances, the residue is

Do a FITR analysis of this white material to help direct you in eliminating the choices. What do your paste and board suppliers say?

White residues are a common problem when cleaning no-clean fluxe residues. The white residue forms when the flux residue is partialy removed, etc. Alcohol should not be your only solution for cleaning. In general, solvents may attack some plastic par

Hi SMTnetters, I have a white residue coating all over my reflow oven innards (almost looks like white fungus). How can I absolutely be certain that it’s flux and not anything else?are there any tests available for this? I am planning to check the ov

I will be sending them the sample for analysis friday. hopefully that should shed some light on the subject

I have always attributed to flux and "lint".
