| what is your experience about the presence of the voids in the joints ? | Are they dangerous and when ? Vincenzo, Voids in solder joints can be caused by a number of factors. Let's begin with the flux vehicle in your soldering media. If the prope

| what is your experience about the presence of the voids in the joints ? | Are they dangerous and when ? My specifications require rejection and study if voiding exceeds 2% of solder joint volume measured using x-ray and/or x-sectional analysis. My

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 Boys and Girls, I've been given the "task" to turn off the nitrogen in our reflow ovens. I am using the BTU, TRS series ovens, each with eight zones. Also, I have a couple of new BT Paragon ovens with 10 zones. We currently are running Qualite

Lab tests can confirm the composition of your material. I'm going with tin oxide. Tin oxide changes color depending on the thickness of the deposit. Your deposit is fairly thin. It will change to a brown color as the thickness increases. Your EDX

hello colleagues, Hoping that everyone is doing well, I am reaching out to you in the hope that your experience can help me. We have a wave solder with sac0307 alloy and the pot has turned a golden color, at first I thought it was common tin oxidat

Mike did you have these SEM'd to be able to see the IMC's within the solder joint?

I think the critical item is that you are soldering in a reduced oxy environment, lowering the rate of ongoing oxidation. Heat accelerates oxidation, lack of oxygen (of course) slows it down. The 10 Nitrogen soldering "myths" seem to be more like "

At my last employer, we ran a number of tests to make a "Hybrid" profile work (same profile Joe lists) . It worked great for everything but BGAs. The problem (6 months ago) was using parts not rated for lead free reflow temps. As the market fills wit
