Hi all, I have an inconsistent situation. Lately, we seem to have excessive dross buildup in the solder pot which inturn causes the pot to overflow. Has anyone had a similar experience? Here are the details: age of machine= 9 years, flux used= Kester

The use of nitrogen in lead free wave solder operations is primarily used to reduce or even eliminate drossing of the solder, thus improving solder yield. The higher priced lead free solder makeup (Cu, Ag) make this a more economical proces than the

Horace: You weren't real specific about the set-up of the two machines. So what's the diff man?? Big dross generators are: 1 R Woodgate says that pump speed is the biggest driver to dross production 2 Chrys uses low dross cast bar: Alpha HiFlo 3

A couple of things that have helped me with solder ball issues at wave in the past: 1. Flux. Insure good flux coverage on the bottom of the board. 2. Preheat. Insure that the board is sufficiently preheated for the wave operation. Since you're

Your leadfree dross should float, similar to your leaded dross. It's possible you're thinking about the process for removing excess copper from the solder pot. Following the same process, with: * Leaded solder, the copper floats. So, you scoop the

| We are currently using a 65/35 solder for our wave process but are considering switching to a 63/37 for a substantial cost savings. No one here seems to know why we everused a 65/35 formulation in the first place. | I understand 63/37 to be pretty
