I am trying to put a center support on a wave solder machine for lead free soldering. My problem is that every metal I use is interacting with the lead-free metals and thus eating away the center support. I have tried titanium, stainless steel. I am

How about graphite coated wires or bar? If there are such things

Sn corrosion effects were studied for stainless steels, coated stainless steels, titanium, cast iron, and other materials. This study can be found in the SMT Library under "Equipment Impacts of Lead-Free Soldering" Electrovert uses a Melonite coating

Try: Tungsten, tungsten carbide, ceramics like boron-nitride or how about pyrex glass? Glass blowers could make "hooks" that connect to a cross bar. I would NOT use aluminum (even if anodized). Try stainless steel 316. 303, 304 do not have enough

I would try a PTFE (Teflon) wire or Teflon protected wire or you could try anodized aluminum. Its getting more and more interesting how the lead free era develops. Just a thought I wander how long its going to take the tin (not passivated with lead)

jamm, As with the other answers you've received, I agree there will be a difference. The question is will the difference between the temperatures of the product profiled at the mesh belt put you out of spec when you run production on the rail? the ke

Is there anyone out there using this ? It looks like they only sell it for the 643 machines. Can it be adapted for 642 machines as well ? We have 2 major problems: 1. Operator makes width change adjust without removing supports from previous job. Ta

Barcode Definition - you can input the search window size. Default lighting works best for me. I name it "bc". Window>Barcode List- This is where you input the position on the panel or circuit 1, give it a ref designator "again I use bc", and select

A reflow oven with Center rail support can help. If your volumes are too low to justify spending $$ on a proper carrier, titanium stiffeners applied to the PCB before it goes into reflow is a cheap, albeit manual solution.
