The solder alloy does not change based on the flux. Your potential for embrittlement is the same [providing the metal of the solders are the same] with either solder. We would guess the OA flux is [and drag tinning are] removing corrosion from the

Hi Tim It sort of depends on the solder alloy being used and the particular assemblies being soldered. If you are using the usual 63/37 alloy I would consider 500 to be a bit warm unless the assembly required it. Some alloys would require a higher

Q1. If I go to the Pb-free solder paste, is it necessary that I have to change my reflow oven OR just by changing with respect to solder paste specification, I can reach my goal? A1. It depends on your current oven. Some ovens can meet the higher t

Hi, we have an idea of running one side of PCB using 58Bi/42Sn solder to prevent glueing components on other side of PCB when board is on second run through SMT process. I wonder what issues we can meet once we try to use SAC305 when reworking some

"Environment Friendly Electronics: Lead-free Technology", J Hwang, Electrochemical Publications, 2001 [0901150401], Chapter 6.2, contains a significant amount of data on 58Bi/42Sn that may help you better understand the 58Bi/42Sn solder alloy. We'r

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t

Hi Solderdoctor! Days been great especially as it's nearly over. Don't see many of those machines over here anymore due to healthy competition from local supplier. Only been in industry myself nineteen years so spring chicken I suppose. Mind you sold

1. If I go to the Pb-free solder paste, is it necessary that I have to change my reflow oven OR just by changing with respect to solder paste specification, I can reach my goal? 2. What is the �Low- Temperature Phase� in any solder paste alloy? 3.W

We put it in one flow soldering machine probably 12 years ago now worked really well but was extremely brittle you maybe better off with the 1% Ag alloy as its more ductile. Look at AIM Solders site if you want further information on the alloy Itis a

Agreed. In my experience you will not wet solder to: Platinum Iron Constantine Tungsten Carbide titanium Chromalloy allomega alloy 303, 304 ...and the list goes on and on. You will either need to weld or braze. These are high temperature prcesses
