Kester offers Tin-Copper AND Tin-Copper-Nickel. The Kester K100 alloy is a Tin-Copper-Nickel material that is very similar to SN100C. Straight Tin-Copper isn't tremendously popular but can be used in low-cost, consumer-electronics applications wher

I thought it was the tin content that leached the copper so presumed 100Sn would be more aggressive?

I have experience in this. My company offers Lead free SMT and Wave soldering. I have processed ImSn, ImAg, Enig, OSP in both smt and wave. Yes, silver leaching will occur. Yes, copper leaching will occur. High tin content solders disolve everyt

I have to agree with Patrick here. This image appears to show a board that is NOT HASL as there is what appears to be a copper pad in the upper portion of the image. But then again the arrow tip appears to be white and I woudl expect that to be red s

In an excellent previous thread davef mentions brass should be plated prior to soldering to prevent zinc leaching from the brass. It is reported once the zinc leaches, the joint is weak. He recommends copper or nickel plating. Would silver plating w
