If you desire fairly uniform paste deposits, consider dispensing your solder paste. Neither a screen, nor a stencil will conform to the rough surface commonly seen in cast aluminum blocks, as you mention. Just out of curiosity: * What flux type and

It was a nice discussion. What I did here was a thermal shock test 1 hour@ +90 deg.c and immediately 1 hour @ -40 deg.c. The second test I did was a high humudity test for a week. After each test, I carried out a peel test with scotch tape. Those bo

As far as solder paste goes search no further! I have worked for some huge CM's as a Process Engineer and a lot of them have put thousands of hours of Engineering time and evaluation just to come up with the same answer every time. For no-clean it is

Hi, I off center idea we used when we started. Get a pasta cooker, and put in vapor phase fluid, and then use that. Place the product in the bottom of the inner pot, and then heat on a small hot plate. When the vapor cloud gets high enough and the
