Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

We are changing /adding a lead free wave. This will either be a conversion of a leaded wave or a new purchase. Nitrogen seems to be a necessity in selective soldering lead free, should I presume the same for a wave process? I am interested in first h

Sn corrosion effects were studied for stainless steels, coated stainless steels, titanium, cast iron, and other materials. This study can be found in the SMT Library under "Equipment Impacts of Lead-Free Soldering" Electrovert uses a Melonite coating

I was just wondering if anybody has noticed a greenish/muddy color to their solder. It is just a very thin layer that can be easily be skimmed away but comes back shortly, I was just wondering if this an indication of a contaminated solder pot, we ha

if the problem is wetting change the flux type. have you tried adjusting the temperature of the wave? if your getting 100% wetting id decrease the wave temperature, or try a flux that is less active.

I have experienced this directly in SMT and wave solder. Fillet lift (can) be a direct indicator to lead enrichment (but its not the exclusive symptom). Lead enrichment in smt joints reduces the interfacial strength shortening the time to creep f

Hi, We have a customer who give us a 20K board contract each year. It's only thru-hole components.The baord is HASL plated. So we pass it into our wave. No problems. Recently, our customer decided to go into GOLD PLATED finish. We take the same re

I was wondering how successful industry has been in quantifying relationships between defects rates of particular solder problems (like bridging, opens,..) and PCA design parameters (like spacing, part orientation, pad dimensions, ...). For wave sol
