PWB Bake out or other elevated temperture processes can cause issues with oxidation of that Nickel layer. The gold porosity can vary from batch to batch, but also process changes can contribute. Are you baking the boards or have previous reflow pro

ACI offers solderability restoration services by using Reduced Oxide Soldering Activation (ROSA) technology to remove the oxide layers from circuit boards or components and then re-tin or otherwise coat them to maintain a solderable surface. The R

Bare inconel is NOT ment to take solder, because * Nickel develops a tenacious oxide layer that is very difficult to remove since the nature of the oxide is very dense, coherent, etc. * Chromium is difficult to solder. * Iron is difficult to solder.

The short answer is immediately after reflow the problem occurs. To be more exact, what you are describing is not "rust". Rust occurs in iron. The oxidation that occurs in Tin-Lead has been sometimes called "white rust". Either way, oxidation occur

Jason: How did you determine that the deposits are tin oxide? What does this stuff look like? Klein Wassink "Soldering in Electronics" (p. 221, quoting original work by others). States (in effect) tin (or solder) quickly forms a protective oxide

| We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X

I looking for a possible rework on component terminals that are not soldering in a wave solder machine. The terminals (leads) are very oxidated.

First of all, verify your storage conditions. Its useful that poor storage conditions can cause damages in devices (especialy oxidations). bye! Steve Aki

You need to remove the oxide before you can properly solder your [or any] component. Call your flux supplier ask them for a more active flux than you are using and for their recommendations on removing the flux residues.
