If people use an inert gas, they use nitrogen for mass soldering. Inert gases get progressively more expensive as you move down the periodic table. Many times no-clean flux is less active than other flux types. So, people use an inert gas to lower

Hi mates, someone told us to use mild HCL acid 5% to 10% solution and submerge the LCC parts into this solution. hopefully this will clean off the varient copper oxide layer on the LCC leadless terminal wall. after the HCL soak, submerge the parts

One thing I have done in the past although it may not be feasable in your case, is to process through normal reflow and then saturate parts with a high solids water soluble flux and re-reflow with hot air, iron, or even another pass through the oven.

There is no real reason why you shouldn�t use your current paste. Paste for printing usually is a coarser mesh than paste for dispensing. Dispensing paste is more expensive, because of the mesh and the packaging, but that doesn�t matter now. Compa

Good morning Dave F. I am not going to try to touchup the solder pad until I get surface analysis work done, don't want to ruin the evidence. I am getting XPS work done not XRF, XPS is X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and can see very thin films of o

Hello Experts We ran into problem today when one of the board that we assembled having problem at Test, BGA failure. The joints looks good but no continuity. When trying to remove the BGA, i found that the pad on the PCB is intact but black in colou

I have seen several Imm Ag pad on the assembled board which have a copper colorleaching through the silver plating This happened on the pad which was not deposited with paste during the assembly process. Don't know if it is a problem, but we only h

That's basically it. In a wonderful world, the oxides flow on top of the flux during heating through reflow. Obviously when compared to reflow soldering, you create much more dross with your wave by: * Pumping a large volume of very hot solder to h

Hi Mike, How do we measure the O2 ppm in N2 environment. I don't understand why the customer keep insisting me to use N2 instead of Air. I don't see the need for it as I done have any soldering issue. Can you share with me why N2 is needed at the fi
