Sounds like someone aimin� fo tha big hurt, if ya axes me. Two spots to place your lawn darts are: 1 J Hwang in "Modern Solder Technology � " states (p.354) that " � extreme CTE mismatch between silicon IC (~2) and the PCB (~16), solder connections

Anyone know of a paste supplier that can provide the 42Sn/1Ag/57Bi alloy? Supposedly HP has done some work with this specific alloy and we would like to evaluate it. Neither Alpha Metals or Kester can supply it.

Are the pick up nozzles metal made (ironmagnetic material)? Some time magnetic residual on metal nozzles can generate pbm like that when chips terminations have nickel and when SOt or similar packages have terminal A42 alloy made. Time ago got pbm l

More on QFP soldering issue as per Paul f original e-mail. 1. Problems occured on different PCB's, on different lines using different equipment 2. Flux residue is common in the dimple on the solder. 3. The fault occurred using both "Kester 265" & "Al

First, how oxidized are these solder balls? Will the take solder using your routine flux / paste? Second, on restoring solderability, the three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinn

"Environment Friendly Electronics: Lead-free Technology", J Hwang, Electrochemical Publications, 2001 [0901150401], Chapter 6.2, contains a significant amount of data on 58Bi/42Sn that may help you better understand the 58Bi/42Sn solder alloy. We'r

EricR: There's substantial information about the properties of solder alloys on the web. Here's an example of something that I clipped from one site Alloy ||Solidus (°C)||Liquidus (C°) ||Tensile Strength (psi / MPa) Sn42 Bi58||-E-||138||8000 / 55.2
