What type of hardware are you looking for? Nuts and bolts? Custom machined/stamped parts? In general, stainless steel is usually considered RoHS, but more expensive. However, medical equipment usually uses things like stainless steel. However, som

Recommended procedure for soldering stainless steel [Atlas Steels Australia]: * Surfaces must be clean and free of oxidation. * A rough surface improves adherence of the solder, so roughening with grinding wheel, file or coarse abrasive paper is reco

Dave, Are you using The DEK plastic stencils with the 3906 or stainless steel? When we were using stainless steel, just about anything worked. It seems that the process for cleaning these *%#*&@" plastic stencils is either the best kept secret in

I am trying to put a center support on a wave solder machine for lead free soldering. My problem is that every metal I use is interacting with the lead-free metals and thus eating away the center support. I have tried titanium, stainless steel. I am

I am surprised you have a problem with the berilium copper. Properly heat treated it should be harder than any of the 300 series nonmagnetic stainlesses. Many of the heat treatable stainless can be harder and more wear resisting than the berilium cop

Oh, sure, on fine-pitch parts you need a microscope or at least a good magnifier. But, OK, you have some kind of contamination. Solder is one thing, but where are these stainless, aluminum and copper particles coming from? Stainless makes me think

Thank you Clare. After doing some more research, I found they are known in the industry as "Carriers". I did look into that durostone material. They prices are beyond reasonable. My trek now is seeking a material to make planks out of to lay the b
