Are these molten solder bubbles, or another substance "foaming" up on the surface?

Hi, I think they are a bit of both. When they pop the bubbles something like a foam is generated.

Hello colleagues, I appeal to your expertise in this matter that has taken me by surprise. A week ago it was decided to change the solder brand for the wave machine, (only the brand, the alloy is the same). The pot was emptied and filled with the

I'm sure this isn't the same situation, but we did have a selective solder machine with crazy dross and solder ball build up. Turns out the operator switched the low pressure nitrogen line used for solder level and the high pressure nitrogen line fo

In a previous lifetime, we had a selective solder machine where I would see solder splashes in the roof of it. I thought someone might have been putting the solder extremely high. But when it was melting there would be bubbles that burst. The manufac

Hi, I have received a report form a board supplier, analysing the reuslts form non wetting problems we have been expereincing with their boards. I assumed it was due to the gold layer being too thin, thus allowing the nicklel layer to be exposed and

Being very new to SMT I won't assume I know what the problem is but.... I had lots of air pockets in solder joints, 95% of the boards. Everyone I spoke to thought it was a problem with my process but when one board was sent to our supplier they admi

We've got a problem here, where we're hand spraying a urethane conformal coat on over a rectangular inductor. The inductor body is a plastic tube, with potting to fill. The top is not always flat (sometimes concave). The problem is that bubbles appea
