Most often, dull solder joints (post cleaning) is a result of the cleaning chemical. Most (not all) modern cleaning chemicals are equipped with corrosion inhibition agents which prevent dulling. Check with your chemical supplier to see if your specif

Cleaning RMA fluxes simply requires selecting a washing chemistry (either Solvent, Semi-aqueous or Aqueous) and an appropriate cleaning sytem. Your lot size would be easily handled with a batch system. visit http://www.aat-corp.com/Technical/Def

First, I should state that my company manufacturers batch and inline de-fluxing systems. Because we manufacture both formats, we remain unbiased. In fact, it is in our best interest to recommend inline cleaners since they sell for considerably more

Hi Chen, Based on your posted message, the following ideas are for your consideration: "brown residue" The water soluble solder paste you are using could be a water soluble rosin solder paste formulation. Perhaps the solder paste may not be proper

You already have some good answers. A chemical isolation zone for RMA is a good idea. If you are looking for new see the two references you have and Austin America. If you are looking for used, see us at http://www.ietechnology.net. We presently

If the world was a perfect place, I would recommend preventing solder balls in the first place. While low amounts of solder balls are common, a high volume of solder balls are problematic to a cleaning machine (batch or inline). Solder balls may beco

Dreamy It sounds like you are having fun in your new job. Saponifier. Alkaline chemicals, added to water, that convert rosin/resin flux residues in the water to soluble soaps. Generally, saponifiers are better if used in an aggressive spray-in-ai

The specific answer depends on what your specific application includes. #1: What are you removing? (solder paste, adhesives) #2: What are you cleaning? (stencils, screens, misprints, pallets) #3: What type of machine are you using? (Spray-in

First, you must determine a few things: 1. What specific de-fluxing chemical are you going to use? Basic required determinations include the chemical�s pH, is it a VOC (if so, what is its VOC content), what concentration is the chemical used in (1
