I thought it was the tin content that leached the copper so presumed 100Sn would be more aggressive?

davef, how can you convince me that 100Sn dissolved copper much faster?

arnold: I did not say that Sn100 dissolved copper faster. The graph of dissolution rates [from the link above] shows that Sn100 dissolves copper slower than many of the other solders.

the copper forms intermetallics with tin to get Cu3Sn and Cu6Sn5. thus intermetallics formation consumes Cu and depends upon the cooling rate, faster the cooling rate, lesser the intermetallic formation

For lead-free, we had great success with graphite molds from China. As far as I remember, it was about 10$ a piece. Very easy to pop them out too.

We are draining a leaded solder pot. I'm sure these would work with leaded as well. those look beautiful!

I have great memories [bad dreams??] of draining solder pots. Previous discussions on SMTnet are worthy of review. Some are here: https://smtnet.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=search_submit&searchstring=bread+pan&collection=site_forum

I tried to reply to your response, but the site locked the discussion? You gave the information on the bread pans. I was wondering a teflon bread loaf pan would work for SAC?
