All of the discussion of "environmental controls" are a matter of degree, dependent on the requirements of the product that you manufacture. For example: shops assembling under-the-hood products have different requirements than shops making garage d

I thought I responded this this a while ago, guess NOT!!! Wow, Dano yagot Entek boards that are that old!!!! Coo. Sounds kwazy that you�d end-up with that volume of old boards, but it�s probably one of those deals where correcting the problem keep

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Dross removal is dependent upon the "activity" in your solder pot and the usage of a inert or an "air" atmosphere. The more moving that agitate the solder, the more dross. Basics first and then the answers will make sense. What is dross? Oxidatio

Eric: For the amount of dross that you're removing, we're concerned that you could be loosing the balance of your solder alloy, because dross consists primarily of tin oxides. It has little lead in it, beyond than the lead content of the solder that

| | What approach do you you use to reducing wave solder dross? What is your experience with Klennox? | | Dave F | Klennox should be spelled Kleenox. Dave F Kleenox works well for removing accumulated dross as it separates the dross from the solde

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
