George We're not sure about the application of powder flux for original poster to this thread, but a common application of powder flux is in brazing. This powder flux can be either metal bearing or just flux. As an aside: Soldering and brazing are

In “J-STD-001 Rev G Amendment 1 Process Qualification” Debbie Carboni, Global Product Line Manager, KYZEN Corp, Nashville, TN said: What change constitutes a need for requalification? Major/ Level 1 – Flux or flux-bearing materials (e.g. flux, so

Yes, I agree that finding a vendor that can do fabrication plus the metalwork may be difficult. I am open to those board vendors who have relationships with others who can do the metal for them and then ship the final product to us. There must be so

| How are solder pastes manufactured right from the level of extracting lead and tin ? | | | The Tin Institute is good but I rarely find that the raw metals industries guys know about pastes. Making a tin-lead alloy for pastes, as for raw bars, is

Assuming you've already looked at optimizing your profile and stencil design, have you looked at metal load in the paste? I hadn't, but just read that increased metal load (associated with reduced powder size, i.e., moving from T3 to T4) has been sh

Yins are bad, this guy's serious. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically and electrically

Here's some quick things to look for: 1. Does your solder paste feel like concrete, does it roll-up into your squeegee blades, and stick to your stencil? If so, your problem is the solder paste. The mixture of powder and flux, or metal load is ou

As someone with a LOT of experience with the "low cost" alternative alloys, primarily SACX, I have one simple question....Are these shorts a new phenomena? WAS your process in control, and all of a sudden it's not? If the answer is YES, take a look a

If what you are talking about is "assembly materials", then consider the following: - Solder paste - Wavesoldering fluxes - Bar (for filling wavesolder pots) - Underfill (for TCE-mismatched CSP's and flip-chip) - Cleaning fluids (for post-reflow boa
