Another thing I'm curious about. What is the "functional purpose" of soldering stainless? Solder coatings generally prevent oxidation on surfaces, but why would somebody solder STAINLESS? Stainless, by nature, is resistant to rust, and hence, oxid

Wayne; Several things. 1.check the vendors and see what black oxide they are using are they the same ? It might be that. 2.You should bake your pcbs before the thermal stress is applied. To remove moisture. At your shop. The proce

I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to clean oxides off of fine pitch components? Apparently the paste we use does not have strong enough flux to remove the oxides off of the leads of the components. I have validated the profile and that i

Hola.. I have several PCBs with some kind of oxidation, my supplier has told me that there is no problem with that oxidation, it will have no effet on soldering and press fit processes, PCBs were received 1 year ago, but they are well packaged and h

davef, thanks for feedback. I talked with a plater who said they put copper before silver when plating brass. Would a complete stack of: Brass part, then 0.0001-0.0002" of copper, then 0.0005" of silver, then Tarniban anti oxidation. Sound reasonabl

Sounds like you are getting oxidation of the nickel under the gold layer. If the gold is porous it will allow the nickel underneath to oxidize, which is the dark dull layer you are seeing, and why when you apply flux it solders just fine - the flux i

Allmost forgot: The "black pad" is simply the oxidized Nickel.

Over time, copper in the via will form an oxide with oxygen in the air.

Horace: You weren't real specific about the set-up of the two machines. So what's the diff man?? Big dross generators are: 1 R Woodgate says that pump speed is the biggest driver to dross production 2 Chrys uses low dross cast bar: Alpha HiFlo 3
