Scott- I've used both methods, titration and refractometer. Both are simple to perform. Titration is a simple, high school science class type process. Follow the chemical mixes accurately and then compare the resulting color change of liquid to a cha

Hi John, A primary consideration is the type of flux you are using. If it's water soluble (organic acid) then cleaning is highly recommended. Any other flux that fails the copper mirror test, we'd strongly recommend cleaning. Passing the copper m

Oh no! Doom and gloom on the horizon! Why should I even try? Gawd, I've heard this sh@t all my life and ya know what? I went to school, got good grades, worked my ass off, landed a decent job, and still work for a low IQ, non-Chinese, non-Indian

Some other machines are a lot simpler. Here's how the Philips (mady by Yamaha) CSM84 works. Smaller tape (8 and 12 mm) feeders are all mechanical. A plunger on the head pushes a lever on the feeder at the same time the head comes down. First, the

Continuing, I�ve optioned about the uselessness of shear testing of solder connections on this forum previously. So, the points that you make about the elusiveness of developing a standard for measuring solder connection strength is well taken. I�l

Hi!Charlie, 1.Are you retrofitting your spray fluxer in your wave soldering machine? If you are, please ensure that you have a air knife just before the preheater!Fluxe fumes tends to accumulate and that could be dangerous if your air exhaust is not

| | It has been known that sufficient cooling after soldering is important in order to get a stronger joint during its solidification stage. And it has been so much emphasised with reflow oven. But, why many models of wave soldering machine do not co
