Get the ionic specs from your flux manufacturer, and show it to the designer. No-clean flux/solder is supposed to be low to minimal in ionic contamination, which allow the whole no-clean thing. If he needs further proof, you can have the board io

Recommended procedure for soldering stainless steel [Atlas Steels Australia]: * Surfaces must be clean and free of oxidation. * A rough surface improves adherence of the solder, so roughening with grinding wheel, file or coarse abrasive paper is reco

Hi, try a low spitting cored wire...something like ALMIT SR-LA cored wire...or SR-LA SUPER...it eliminates flux/solder spitting during soldering.

Hey all! The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pallet w

Also a little more info: We are not needing to wash the boards clean of flux and manufacturing debris. The washing takes place to remove dirt from use in the field over time.

Using a dishwasher is good. Hookup DI water input to aid in cleanlyness. Also, you should add a saponofier. All of the major manufactures of fluxes have their own chemistry

The primary function of flux in solder paste is to remove metal oxides during reflow. In a protective gas environment with nitrogen, less metal oxides are produced than in an air environment. Flux consumption is also lower, so there will be more flu

Rules of thumb :- 1. Never over flux - not necessary and waste's money. Never top flux neither 2. Top Board temp. around 70C - 105C or there about's pending what laminate you use. Obviously the more flux you apply the higher heat required/denser PC
