Hi, I need some information about the relation between the type of flux used in wave soldering and the quantity of dross produced. Thank you in advance for your help Mohammed

Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

I'd love to get to the point that I could discuss the impact of flux on dross formation. Until then, I fight with proper solder pot temperature, maintaining enough pump speed, and solder contaminants.

This is one of the biggest mistakes with the Lead Free process. We have all listened to the 'industry experts' and followed their advice and unfortunately got it wrong. Keep the dwell times (dependant on alloy selection) the same as Leaded so you are

There is a way to post papers [Tons of them have been posted, to date. Look in the "SMT Library" maybe.] Email info@smtnet.com for details.

Another thought, why not contact a flux supplier that is able to give you the background information you seek? For instance: Daniel Werkhoven; Interflux Electronics/Belgium [ http://www.interflux-electronics.com ] [We have no relationship, nor rec

Where to find detailed information on fluxes? No one seems to know the real difference between Rosin fluxes with colophan, Resin fluxes or synthetic Resin fluxes, No Clean, Low Residues, VOC-Free, Halide-Free, Water Washable with alcohol base, Resin-

You're correct, for every dumpster full of paper written about solder, there's a sentance written about fluxes. There's dribs and drabs about fluxes in most of the soldering books [ie, Manko, Klein-Wassink, Judd, Strauss, etc] and most of that is ve
