Grant, Newer lead-free fluxes have 6%-10% solids content - more activator, therefore leave more "visible" residues. Old technology tin-lead fluxes got down to as low as around the 4%-6% range (I'm going off memory, so me might be wrong)... You'll

Waves soldering: not enough solder remaining on pads

Hi Steve, I just confirmed with the manufacturer and the HASL is tin/lead (or it is supposed to be, at least). Any suggestions for how to test for nickel vs tin/lead? We're using an alcohol based no-clean flux from Alpha.

Dave, our facility does only military and aeorspace contracts, we still use only tin/lead solder and 186 Rosin Flux, so this info is just what I need. Thanks for your imput.

Very interesting.Safety datasheet suggest acid that might turn yellowish. I am interested is it cleaned easily with water?

We did not try using water. Once the nozzles were left in the pot a while longer, the yellow goes away. Suggesting that it's cooking off.

If you can find some, you might want to give Adipic Acid a try. It is a powder but I have seen it work well.

We are using Superior 515 flux to clean and tin selective solder nozzles. Yesterday the flux turned a bright yellow (like a highlighter) when heated after the flux being applied. This does not happen with our Lead Free solder, only the Lead alloy.
