suggest you check the preheat conditioning in the wavesolder process is sufficient, as this is the main culprit for micro-crack CAPs ?

We are finding cracked capacitors at both first pass and second pass.

I got solution to manufacturer to find out the crack of MLCC if the manufacturer need it.

Suggest you ask vendor for a failure analysis. Ceramic chips have specific signatures for mechanical or thermal shock cracking. The vast majority of failures are due to mechanical flex. Depanelization and secondary operations such as hand insertion

if the capacitors are placed very near to the edge and their position is 90 deg than it may cause crack.4thly if the reflow ramp rate is more than 3 deg C then it may crack. 5th ly if the solderin tip temp. is very high and soldering bit is very thi
