Calling all Metcal users.... I am trying to get an idea of the expected tip life of a given Metcal solder tip and I am met with the generic response of "there are too many parameters" to give such a number, either in average number of solder joints

We are using Metcal STTC-8xx series tips. One thing that makes a huge difference on tip life is what type of solder you are using. If you are soldering with lead (SnPb) solder the tips will last 3 times longer on average than if you are soldering w

This Technical Note discusses the construction of solder tips, the various failure modes associated with tip plating (cracking, wear, corrosion, and dewetting), how to diagnose those failure modes, and specific practices that can be taken to minimize or eliminate each one.

Quality managers and line supervisors are routinely tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that the hand soldering process is under control. The method most commonly used is to measure the idle tip temperature of the soldering station and to use this reading as a benchmark of system compliance. This method, although popular is now being seriously questioned by many industry professionals as being irrelevant in qualifying true system process control. This document aims to present a practical view of what factors are important for successful hand soldering and to suggest an alternative procedure for qualification that is simple, repeatable and directly related to the effectiveness of the soldering station.
A technology that identifies the intermetallic compound formation, enables the system to provide closed loop feedback to the operator and validates the condition of the solder joint. This technology works in conjunction with SmartHeat® and patented C
