Jerry This is the classic "White powder phenomenon" a little like the X files - loads of information but who do you trust? I know that GEC Hirst Research in the UK, identified over 16 different white powder residues so it is not an easy subject. Plea

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

If your using regular 63/37 Sn/Pb solder there are alot of other metals such as Antimony,Nickel,Iron,Cadmium,Aluminum,Copper,Gold,Bismuth,to name a few. But you need a certain amount of these metals for proper solder composition. Regarding the Antimo

Hi all, I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wave solder

Robert: Several points: 1 Dross is a mixture of various things with no "fixed" composition: � The obvious things are metal oxides mixed with metal and this can vary in color with temperature and composition - remember some intermetallic oxides form

Kurtz had a guy that was great with the machine. I strongly suggest that you watch the wave height test a few times in the morning then at lunch and at the end of the day. Look where the solder goes up to on the probe. If it doesn't work consistent

I remembered something from the TechNet a long time ago about heating the board with a heat gun to see if the white spots disappear. I searched the archives and found this from Bill Kenyon: Quick identification of solder mask white spots- if it is t

Praveen, White powder residue can be produced if you clean the No clean flux residue with isopropyl alcohol. Check whether you are using any IP for local cleaning. In case you want to clean the noclean flux residue ( as per the requirements of conta
