In an excellent previous thread davef mentions brass should be plated prior to soldering to prevent zinc leaching from the brass. It is reported once the zinc leaches, the joint is weak. He recommends copper or nickel plating. Would silver plating w

I have experience in this. My company offers Lead free SMT and Wave soldering. I have processed ImSn, ImAg, Enig, OSP in both smt and wave. Yes, silver leaching will occur. Yes, copper leaching will occur. High tin content solders disolve everyt

Zinc from the brass diffuses into the solder and reacts with tin causing dezincification. Dezincification is a specific type of de-alloying, or selective, leaching corrosion of brass fittings. This type of corrosion selectively removes zinc from th

Pd/Ag doesn't usually dissolve (leach) nearly as bad as Ag only. In my hybrid days, we would use 62/36/2 solder. The 2% silver helps saturate the solder joint and thus keep the Ag from being leached away by the Sn.

Q1: Can I know is Chromium restricted from RoHS? A1: RoHS Restricted Substances (Pb, Hg, Cr6+, PBB, PBDE, Cd) Q2: Is this chemical will effect the content of Lead free solder? A2: It's possible that the metals that comprise the stainless steel probe

It sounds like what you are seeing is leaching of the end cap. You need to check the manufacturer's spec. Many components have terminal barriers, which get a solder plating. Sometimes this plating process is not done well, and the solder plating le

| Your problem may be related to silver migration (leaching) into the solder. I had what seems to be a similar problem. The solution was using solder with 2% silver content. See these pages for a bit more information: | | http://www.ferroemd.com/

Hi, We are Scottish manufacturing company considering a move to Immersion Silver finished PWB's from HASL. The driver behind it being the RoHS and WEEE legislation in Europe at present. My question is... We plan on using a Sn/Cu/Ni solder bar in o
