For reflow soldering, you are correct ! The higher surface tension of the solder paste in nitrogen atmosphere can increase the number of solder bridges if the component or solder paste print is inaccurate. Another defect that might increase is tomb

Paste Flux / Reflow: Our experiments indicated that the combination of no-clean solder paste and air forced convection reflow produced the fewest tombstone defects, followed by water-soluble paste reflowed in air, and most tombstones occurring with

I have attached a pdf version of an article that explains the basics of a nitrogen atmosphere when soldering. It gives some basic guidlines as to when one may want to use nitrogen and what it can and can not accomplish. FYI- I did not write that ar

We are looking at several reflow ovens with intent to acquire one for both air and nitrogen reflow capability (i.e. have the capability to reflow in either air or nitrogen environment). Would be interested to know what I should look for in comparing

I haven't worked with Protecto but I have seen very good results using a no-clean flux and a nitrogen atmosphere in the reflow oven. | Entek or Protecto? | I've hear Kester's Protecto is a very good OSP that may be more assembly process-friendly th

Russ, Thanks.By the way, i already look into the reflow profile & paste storage & thowing requirement. Even i cut down the stencil life to 4 hr to avoid any moisture absorbtion. If i were to change the paste formulation, what would you propose ? But

I'd speculate that the properties of a well formed solder connection processed in air and N2 are indistinguishable. Then again, the pitch is that N2 gives a wider process window, especially for NC flux-types. In the SMTnet Library look for: �Opti

MK: If you are getting good product with air, here�s what you should do: * Turn off the N2. * Sell that N2 cracker machine. * Pat yourself on the back. * Go out for beers. [Not any of that Canadian Fosters crap, tho][Did you know that Ozzies do

49 hits on nitrogen, you probably used the one with the entry window => 13 or whatever hits on nitrogen. Here is my take on what you missed by using the other seach: Date: May 26, 2001 04:57 AM Author: Brian Sloth Bentzen Subject: Nitrogen Reflow
