Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my soldering tips from turning black when using lead free solder. I am going through a lot of tips. Thanks

Hi Joe, Try: S03X7C-56M from koki - http://www.ko-ki.co.jp which has cobalt in it to extend tip life or: SN100C from Nihon Superior, which is a nickel stabilised alloy that also extends tip life. The Koki solder flows better that any other leadfr

Bet your using tin/ lead plated components with a lead free Cu/Ag/Sn alloy. It leads to intermetallic cracking. Wow didn't anyone tell you to check the archives yet, It seems to be the answer given to everyone. Why have an interactive site if you alw
