Overwetting is also a root cause of open joints. I recommend eating 5 saltines in 1 minute for anyone experiencing overwetting.

Without seeing your X-ray, it sounds like your BGAs are out gassing. This casues the situation you described. Try baking some BGAs and run them along with ones not baked to see.

When tenting vias almost a few vias are not covered completly by Solder Mask. Does this one side open vias affect the Immersion Tin Process ? Do we get chemical residues in the vias ?

It is a PCB material that has a woven glass / epoxy internal core and glass veil surface. It is in between the paper materials (FR1,FR2 and CEM1) and FR-4 as far as strength and cost. It is available in HiCTI material for high power applications.

Please give us additional background on your board, solder, process, etc. If you are talking about black pad in ENIG solderability preservative, check the fine SMTnet archives to get started.

Consider searching the fine SMTnet Archives for the names of companies that offer such training courses and giving them a call to determine their schedules.
