The most prevailent wave solder machine in small to medium UK companies is the Blundell CMS400 - every man and his dog has one. And the recommended lead free solder for these machines is..... Greg's 0.3% Silver. Quite a few of our customers use h

Hi Rob You do not receive any benefit from me (I dont get any from my employers either) but if I knew who you were I would buy you a warm Guiness next time I saw you, or if you preffered a warm Bud I'm not fussy. You see its not difficult for compe

250 tons/month) and, as it has been stated here, many customers have switched from SAC305 to SN100C but we are not aware of any customer who has switched from SN100C to SAC305. As the inventor of SN100C states, �once a customer touches the SN100C, he

We have tested SN100C and SAC305 in our selective solder machine (Ersa Versaflow). We wanted to test both alloys in the selective first because the investment in filling the pots is minimal. In our initial tests the SN100C alloy appears to be the bes

Hello Greg, Glad to hear your success with the SACX0307 copy. By the way, does the P mean it contains phosphorus? Does yours also contain bismuth like the SACX0307 (according to their plumbing solder patent for X0307)? In response to your discussion
