Using no-clean flux will make the boards very difficult to clean. If you can switch to water soluble flux, your life will be much easier. The "icicles" lead me to think that the board isn't getting hot enough in the pre-heat cycle, and/or there isn

My company currently uses water soluble paste for our SMT process. We were having trouble retaining hot water in our in line, closed loop DI cleaner. The cleaner kept shutting down when the water temp. dropped below 125C. As a result, the conveyor

Peter: Questions are: * From your pictures, the white residue appears to be only on the solder mask. Is that correct? If not, what is the location [eg, solder, nonsolder/nonmask areas] of the residue that doesn't show well in the pictures? Further,

In Section 5.1 Flux Residues, 5.2 Particulate matter 5.3 Chlorides and Carbonates & White Residues, I am assuming that these boards have been through some type of cleaning step. Hot water, saponifier, air dryed and the pictures illustrate unacceptab

Hi Peter, I posted these links to Technet as well, but figured I would add them here as well in case any of the smtnet readers would like to see them. Here are some links to some articles about white residue sources, and whether or not white residue

Blimey just seen the picture that is bad. You could try to dissolve some of the residue/gunge in IPA if it is flux residue it should readily dissolve if it is resist issue then only portions will dissolve leaving a white powder which is Talc If you
