Proy, Another issue is what exact formulation of SAC is used. Much of the SAC305 being used in Asia contains phosphorus, which is added in an attempt to reduce the heavy drossing that SAC305 produces. Phosphorus acts as a flux on steel so will increa

hello everyone, i'm looking for a spray gun that can withstand flux aggression. I made air controlled prototype for ersa wave machine, but air guns wear out quickly and start to leak. I was thinking about Binks model 95AR or something with stainless

Dave: The main part of your machine that VOC-Free fluxes attack is your spray fluxer itself. If you haven't already, you'll need to purchase a spray fluxer that's designed to accomodate water-based VOC-Free fluxes (i.e. made of stainless steel with

I hear Pillarhouse is the "Yugo" of Select soldering! :) Chunks et al is correct that if the innards of the fluxing system are made of non-corrosive mat'ls, you should be okay. I used to deal with the original AT&T Spray fluxers and their spray no

Q1: Can Stainless steel be soldered? A1: Yes, stainless steel can be soldered. Q2: If yes, is our normal process adequate? A2: We know nothing about your normal process. Common flux used in routine soldering will not step-up to the requirements nece

Stainless steel can NOT be soldered with the solder that is used in electronics, be it Sn63 or SAC305. I have 1st hand experience in this. Solder will NOT wet to it no matter how much flux is applied, or what type of flux is applied. Again, I have

As Dave said stainless steel can not be soldered using fluxes designed for electronics. The only way this could be done is to spot plate copper or tin where you want to make the solder connection.

So, I'd have to grind the living sh#t out of my wedding ring, and then use phosphoric acid based flux that can kill a small animal in order to solder stainless steel. Cool!

Recommended procedure for soldering stainless steel [Atlas Steels Australia]: * Surfaces must be clean and free of oxidation. * A rough surface improves adherence of the solder, so roughening with grinding wheel, file or coarse abrasive paper is reco

We have two batch systems here. The systems have worked very well but the interior stainless steel is very dull. We are running a DI based open loop system for cleaning primarily a WS flux. In special cases we have used ArmaKleen E-2001 and Alpha
