Lifted pads are almost always caused by pad to substrate adhesion likely degraded significantly after too much heat. Poorly trained operators armed with soldering irons can do this expertly.

Hi Aj There are some good doxidizing powders on the market. You simply mix it into the dross, which then will seperate the oxide from the solder. This way you can recover most of the solder and have much less waste. Smartasp

I have a pad layout that has .010" dia. with .010" spacing. Going to use a .004" foil. I know I need to over print them, but how much without causing bridging issues ? Thanks, Sr.

If you let the silver content of your solder connections get much above 3 percent, it could cause reliabilitility problems, similar to the problems caused when the gold content gets too high.

After have so much discussion about this solder dross reduction, which way is the best to achieve good solder quality with low cost investment? Would it be add additive or recycling the dross or use N2 during wave soldering process??

I agree with Russ. Hotplates, toasters, etc.. may be cheaper than a smaller oven, but it will really pay off in the long run. Plus, your process control will be much easier to control.

This is as much a question of the forum as it is a response, but a small batch oven with programmable profiling, quick response and forced cooling sounds ideal. My question is do they even exist, and if so are they cost prohibitive to the market tha

Thanks very much for your input Russ.Nice to jar the memory and ensure all bases are covered.Don't have the Bar code interface so bar code is a future-future demand. JEM

We run both No-Clean and Water Soluble boards without any problems. We had problems with solderballs, but adjusted the P&P machines not to push the parts into the paste so much. Home plate apperatures help also. The biggest question is if your cus
