"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

If you can't find bismuth wire, use 42Sn58Bi. For more, look here: http://www.mrs.org/s_mrs/bin.asp?CID=2274&DID=48689&DOC=FILE.PDF

Actully none couse we glue them. Please see attached file - there are red dots marking glue placment. I understand you want to check if there is any sense in gluing components. I`ll ask one more time - Is anoyne who reworked SMDs with SAC305 where

In general two step temperature reflow process requires minimum 40 deg C delta to be sucessful. We are not using vapor phase soldering but we have similar situation when we change to SAC lead free solder for PCB component population and secondary swe

Which components are falling off during the second reflow?

I think you're okay reworking with SAC305 but rework with SnPb will result in a SnPbBi alloy with a lowered melting point that may pose reliability concerns. As far as suitability of 58Bi42Sn goes - depends on your requirements.

Multiple process and rework thermal cycles are brutal on boards and components. Improving reliability of products through reducing thermal stress ends-up being a major driver to the interest in lower MP LF solders. Binary LF solders require the addit

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

I have used SnBi from Alpha, and it worked well. The only issue I found is that you cannot have ANY Pb contamination.

Guys I have a question since the ever present problem with the crack switch we had to change to a low temp lead free solder paste in these case eutectic 58Bi/42Sn and 57Bi/42Sn/1Ag alloys, now the main question whats diferent between these one and th
