The short answer is immediately after reflow the problem occurs. To be more exact, what you are describing is not "rust". Rust occurs in iron. The oxidation that occurs in Tin-Lead has been sometimes called "white rust". Either way, oxidation occur

You have received some great feedback so far. I would like to summarize and add a few points regarding maintenance. You should start (as recommended already) by verifying your component library data. Using the default values from the master library i

Ribbon cable is 25 ml pitch (11.8 mil pad-to-pad), and solder is pre-applied and reflowed to the PCB pads. What is the best attachment method for this ribbon cable? What is the best method to prevent solder bridging? Hot bar, soldering iron with "

Hello Peter, In reflow, running a profile and collecting thermal data does not necessarily make it easy to calculate and determine machine capability. On the contrary to your desires of simplifying the process, determining machine capability on an ov

Ron, have a look at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/cgmphome.html It would be a nightmare, if your plant is not structured to support it. It's a huge pain in the fanny even when you (alledgedly) are. I'm not sure what you're pursuing, but if you're c

First, how oxidized are these solder balls? Will the take solder using your routine flux / paste? Second, on restoring solderability, the three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinn

Back in the days when pots, skillets, etc. were made of cast iron, vegetable oils were used to "season" the iron to prevent rusting and also from the food sticking to the pot during cooking. It would be reasonable to believe that you could use the sa
