I think he did mentioned the board size in the inital thread: "265mm x 207mm pcb", but maybe it was not clear written. I have a question about rework and pre-heat: is it necessary to have the pre-heater to cover the whole board size, even if you onl

My experience with different size boards and pre-heaters. The perfect world (right?) you would saturate the complete pcb with bottom pre-heat. But it is difficult with repair and rework equipment, not to mention the expense and foot print of large pr

Hannu, First and for all I have a problem with your question "tried and trusted" for the simple reason that you are going to change too lead-free. Ultrasonic soldering or welding is not new, as far as I know it is only used applying the ultrasonic

I'm with DaveF on this one. I think you'll be trying solve this one for a long time. Alloy42 just doesn't like to be soldered. What exactly is the issue? Lack of a toe fillets at on the cropped lead? There is no spec for a toe fillet other than to

What your asking has many variables. 1. Material: SS vs. Cast Iron. Iron is thicker. Which SS? 316, 316L 2. Pump speeds, turbulence, hours of operation directly affect equipment life. 3. Things like scraping the pots, the tunnels, impelle

Proy, Another issue is what exact formulation of SAC is used. Much of the SAC305 being used in Asia contains phosphorus, which is added in an attempt to reduce the heavy drossing that SAC305 produces. Phosphorus acts as a flux on steel so will increa
