Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my soldering tips from turning black when using lead free solder. I am going through a lot of tips.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Try:

S03X7C-56M from koki - http://www.ko-ki.co.jp which has cobalt in it to extend tip life or:

SN100C from Nihon Superior, which is a nickel stabilised alloy that also extends tip life.

The Koki solder flows better that any other leadfree solder from our experience (it's roughly a SACX + cobalt), but does require extaction. However the SN100C is also a very good solder.

Hope that helps,

Rob.
