Hi, We were having flux residue entrapment under the component. So we are evaluating to add steam cleaning with DI water, using precision micro prior to Di wash. Have anyone tried this and what are pros and cons. Your advice appreciated. Thanks

I thought autoclaving was cleaning (well sterlizing) something with steam and pressure. It almost sounds like that is what is happening to the boards in question. Are they being "cleaned" or sterilized? During this steam cleaning, is all air evactu

I've never heard of steaming a board either. You said that steaming cleans it better after the wash process. What is the steaming process cleaning that the washer isn't, flux residue, solder balls, or what? Also, try and identify the main difference

We had a similar application to rewash excessive flux residues through a chemical wash, steam clean, and DI rinse. We currently have an inline cleaner. Can you comment what kind of steamer (made and manufacturer) is being referred to in this discussi

We autoclave our medical PC boards (Sorry Bad Joke). With the Steam process I am concerned that the water (Solution) is not Clean. So I am curious to the process of steam cleaning: Is It Presure Steam? is the Water DI, ION free, street water...? you

Please try to use the steam aging tester and make a try ! When the water temp up to +100℃, Put your new model into the water tank. This +100℃ hot and steam water may remove the paste in via hole. Thank you. https://www.wewontech.com/steam-aging-

Be careful on how you go about this. Some older wave chains will have anywhere from a bit to lot of lead embedded into the grease. Ive had best luck sending it out to a shop that can hot tank them. Costs about $25 and it comes back all clean and lube

I am curious on some opinions on cleaning of boards. We have a board wash but after the wash we still need to stem them for better cleaniness. The timed steaming is prox. 2 mins a side and by the way this is a medical board. So if you got and suggest
