I am looking for public papers or articles on intermetallic formation as a function of reflow profile. Most solder paste vendors specify peak temperature and time above liquidus, but I am particularly interested in what happens to intermetallic grow

MF: I know of nothing that addresses your question directly. Let me suggest: * Technical types at your solder supplier should be able to help. * "Effect Of Intermetallic Compounds On The Thermal Fatigue Of Surface Mount Solder Joints" PL Tu, et a

Dave, I sand corrected since I know you wouldn't steer me wrong...although the lst time I looked at the IPC spec for a solder profiel it was still designed for older generations of paste and were specifically water wash biased although that doesn't c

Are there profilers that I can use over my leaded and lead-free wave that can also profile my reflow ovens (leaded and lead-free). I'm not that familiar with either but as I learn I can't help but think that there should be something on the market t

Yup! All the major players out there - KIC, Datapaq, and ECD - are all capable of profiling both reflow and wave solder. check them out. www.kicthermal.com www.ecd.com www.datapaq.com

Yeah, perhaps lean more towards a ramp-to-spike profile - reducing the soak time and add a littel heat to your temp above liquid. This has worked for us with water soluable paste as we are not required to use no-clean and utilizing a 6-zone oven. G

U may check your profile ramp rate. The flux may evporated and look like cold joint

proper pad geometries, accurate placement, and good reflow profile. Are you having problems right now?

Hi, I have noticed we are getting residue on our wave pcb's and it's worse with lead free, since we changed to the flux we are using. We are currently using Avantec VOC Free flux model Ecofree 303. It looks like it's made in Malaysia. Does anyone h
