You guys are all joking right?! There aren't any contaminates in your solder, the different colors on the surface are completely normal and even expected. The top layer of solder oxidizes and the structure of the surface resembles crystals, refract

Hi all! Heres wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2008!! We are a small OEM/CM that use Ni tabs in our design/applications. We have a request to use Stainless steel to reduce/eliminate the Ni content. Can Stainless steel be soldered? If yes, is ou

Bob, I've heard that many WSM manufacturers are not providing warranties for stainless steel solder pots that are holding SN100 because they are not completely confident that the SN100C alloy is non-destructive to the pot. fct�s own webpage states

As Dave said stainless steel can not be soldered using fluxes designed for electronics. The only way this could be done is to spot plate copper or tin where you want to make the solder connection.

We are currently wave soldering connectors that are held in place by stainless steel screws. About 20% of these screws emerge from the process with varying quantities of solder attached to them. We have just had our solder bath checked and no impurit

Nichrome, manganin, phosphor bronze etc are easy to solder ... the hard part is removing the corrosion * Manganin: 86% copper, 12% manganese, 2% nickel. Often, it's used in making cryogenic measurements, due to its low heat loss. * Select a flux for

A highly activated flux will allow intermetallics to form, because the hydrogen halide gas that formes at operating temperature will react with the refractory nickel oxide. Refractory nickel oxide is what makes SS "stainless". This will be worse wit

Q1: Can I know is Chromium restricted from RoHS? A1: RoHS Restricted Substances (Pb, Hg, Cr6+, PBB, PBDE, Cd) Q2: Is this chemical will effect the content of Lead free solder? A2: It's possible that the metals that comprise the stainless steel probe

I would first check to see what the maximum temperature this operates at I remember seeing my first one on Ebay the other day and it is a small bench mounted machine. You need to ensure the solder bath will operate up to around 260 - 270C. ALL Lead F

We do not use a Victronics selective solder but we you activ8 102 stainless steel flux from worton metals for our nozzles. Hope this helps.
