I'm sure this isn't the same situation, but we did have a selective solder machine with crazy dross and solder ball build up. Turns out the operator switched the low pressure nitrogen line used for solder level and the high pressure nitrogen line fo

I think what Chunks meant is... TOOLING = THOSE POTS So basically, if some of your SMT or Through-Hole parts move around via a redesign or a respin, you will incur tooling costs (TOOLING is "THOSE LITTLE POTS FULL O' SOLDER.") When you're research

Dear all, As we know there is a high risk of reliability issue due to lead contamination during mixture of NLF component at LF wave soldering process. But we have the following feed back from one of our customer as follow: Concerning the risk of m

Evtimov: IDEALS Project was one of the first to talk about componebt and board damage caused by LF soldering temperatures. There's lots of more current stuff on the web. Here's some that may help: * Assessment of Long-term Reliability in Lead-free As

Kester has a special alloy for high temp soldering. Alloy 123. I would think that if you coocked 63/37 to 360c you would have a pot of dross in no time! Doug
