for regular eutecticish solders, keep the pot temperature between 230�C [446�F] and 290�C [554�F]. If you polled us on our pot temperatures, we�d be all over the map, but with more lower than higher than you. High pot temperatures tend to generate

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

It is true that the SAC alloys are very aggressive to unprotected solder pots but the SN100C lead free alloy can be used in these pots IF they are not already being wetted by your SN63 alloy. FCT Assembly offers a program that includes free tin wash

Hello Pete, I am not aware of any Wave solder machine manufacturer selling new pots from SS without being "LF compatible". Who would buy it now?? Also, machine warranties generally are no longer than 1 year anyway so all existing machines over 1 year

Thanks Cmiller & PR, I am warmed to hear others are doing this sort of thing.......like all inovative ideas, you often stumble into them. As far as im aware the ERSA dual Pot is the only machine avaiable on the market that can do this sort of thing

Howdy aj, wow! Be prepared for serious problems with corrosion of your stainless steel workings of your pump. Last I looked changing a wave solder pot over to nitrated coating for electrovert was in the neighborhood of 18-20K. I'm not a betting man

On Saturday the 3rd, I offloaded nearly 1200 pounds of solder from my Electrovert, did the tin purge and loaded nearly 1200 pounds of sn100c back into my solder pot. It was a hell of a job, but we got it done in 8 hours. We've been running with this

Mf Eng, I am impressed! A real Engineer, quoting from his sophomore year Thermodynamics class, "energy is neither created nor destroyed." I believe that's the 1st Law? I agree with you on your points, 'cause it'd be my guess that if the pot is lef
