Most batch cleaners are "dishwashers" with stainless steel pipes and cabinets. Heated DI water is a good thing. Are you cleaning Watersolubles or no-cleans? You will need some chemistries for the No-Clean and the W.S. will eventually eat through al

Sn corrosion effects were studied for stainless steels, coated stainless steels, titanium, cast iron, and other materials. This study can be found in the SMT Library under "Equipment Impacts of Lead-Free Soldering" Electrovert uses a Melonite coating

Hello, We just cleaned our wash a few months ago. I used white vinegar. No dillution, straight up in a spray bottle. Spray it on let it sit for a few minutes, comes right off. You might need to use a stainless scrubby on some of the tough areas, But

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

Hi All, We did not change our internal Solder pot components (stainless steel)when we switched to Leadfree Alpha SACX . Running approx: 1 year now and I carried out checks yesterday and we have some signs of erosion. Did not expect to see this so s

.030 Inch? Are you sure? I seriously doubt .030" stainless foil can be etched with any usable result. Do you mean .003" or .030 mm (pretty thin). I've been using .005" brass shim stock, but I am going to .003" now, but I know there are companies

Any suggestions/experience in repairing an old electrovert stainless wave solder pot? We have been running SN100C in this pot for a few years, and it developed a small leak along the weld in one corner. I am wondering of the best repair methods, an

I doubt that you will gain any advantage from stainless jaws. I think the stock jaws have beryllium inserts in them. I am pretty sure beryllium is harder than SS. Maybe stainless jaws with carbide inserts in them would work better ? Or what about c

A Screen printer is similar to a stencil printer,except the screen isn't made from a piece of brass, copper, plastic or stainless steel, with laser cut holes. The screen has a stainless steel , silk or polyester mesh, which is then dipped in a photos

Kevin, Hot DI water will leach ions form stainless steel over time � much like an acid effect on metal. If you have ever seen a Steam Age Chamber after about 6-months use, you will know what I mean. DI water is �hungry� for ions and it will take th
