Hello all, we use a reflow oven from Rehm in our SMT production. At the moment we solder under nitrogen atmosphere (approx. 500ppm). Now we want to reduce the nitrogen consumption (costs etc.). What consequences can occur here? Especially on the s

Nitrogen is helping voids, so if you have specific parts that are prone to voids, you might start seeing more voids. Joints will probably look a little dull in comparison and this might affect your existing AOI programs.

Hello Could I ask for advice? We have new machines with a full nitrogen tunnel. Type of soldering nozzle: worthmann 5 rows and next nozzle (in this same machine) worthmann 7 rows. One person in my organization claims that the delta nozzle is not wor

Key Issue: Will this machine solder your boards? You never know until you solder one. Any other avenues of analysis involve substantial risk. Flux Selection * High or low solids * VOC or VOC-free Solder Alloy * If using lead-free, avoid stainles

We have been using nitrogen in our reflow ovens for many years to reduce oxidation on our solder joints. Management is concerned about the high cost of nitrogen and have suggested we use hydrogen instead. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but we

I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

Hey all! The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pallet w

Hi Jerry, I bet you have dross build up on your wave. Are you running nitrogen? If not this could be the case. Hope this helps!

we don't have a nitrogen generator installed yet. The solder wave supplier recommends 99.99%. we hare received several submissions for nitrogen generators that meet the requirements.
