Dave Good luck with the root canal I just hope you are using Nitrous oxide instead of nitrogen.

Hello Could I ask for advice? We have new machines with a full nitrogen tunnel. Type of soldering nozzle: worthmann 5 rows and next nozzle (in this same machine) worthmann 7 rows. One person in my organization claims that the delta nozzle is not wor

Hello all, we use a reflow oven from Rehm in our SMT production. At the moment we solder under nitrogen atmosphere (approx. 500ppm). Now we want to reduce the nitrogen consumption (costs etc.). What consequences can occur here? Especially on the s

Unless you can find a situation like Glenn's it would probably be cheaper to buy another oven already nitrogen equipped. $15,000-$20,000 buys them all day used.

We have been using nitrogen in our reflow ovens for many years to reduce oxidation on our solder joints. Management is concerned about the high cost of nitrogen and have suggested we use hydrogen instead. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but we

Hi, This would be a very exciting idea. Nitrogen is an inert gas, so this is why it's used, however Hydrogen mixed with oxygen in normal air is highly explosive, so it would be one of the worst gasses to use in a reflow oven I would think. Remember

Im not an expert at this, but im going to have to agree with blnorman. I wouldn't use Hydrogen, its very explosive. I would look into a considering a new oven to cut back on cost. Yes you will have to put out the money for a new unit, but if it reduc

call me picky but doesn't hydrogen combust? maybe soemthing you could do is look at your process and your products and decide if you actually need to run in N2. Yes ok I can hear the crys now but seriously, for the vast majority of things if you have

We using nitrogen only for Selective Solder machine, you don't need it for reflow oven, to improve solderability we use Vapor Fase oven.

Is it possible to run Pb-Free reflow without nitrogen?
