Kester has a special alloy for high temp soldering. Alloy 123. I would think that if you coocked 63/37 to 360c you would have a pot of dross in no time! Doug

If you have surface mount on the bottom, you can place openings between any thru-hole parts that constantly short. Your adhesive is a natural solder block!

What manufacturer is it? I usually stack the bars in as tight as possible. Especially against the wall of the pot with heaters. While it's heating keep applying slight pressure with a bar of appropriate material, towards the sides to facilitate melti

Lead-free? White-tin finish? Even if it's not, it sounds like a moisture/contamination issue. If your boards must sit in stock between reflow/wave, consider giving them an alcohol bath to clean up any contamination, and a good baking to remove any

The Optimizer can be run through your wave like a regular board. It measures temps, times and parallelism of your waves in relationship to your board (pot to conveyor). Run the Optimizer till you get you temps, times and are parallel to your waves.

We are running an RMA flux (Kester 1515). Changing the angle didn't help any so we're back at 6 degrees and placing an order for the lambda nozzle changeover. Are you currently running the debridging knife?

most machines have fixed angle of 6 deg. some are adjustable from 5 - 7 deg., but 6 is most popular.

Last I heard, the Optimizer costs $10k. As long as you put the cover on, there should be no issues with the LCD. Hmmm... where're the SALESMEN? Last thread we had on this, the salesman wrote a book here on SMTNet.

I did not tried this before (never hada chance to do it) but I considered such option - maybe try using temporary wavesolder mask on such small components. Run both sides of PCB through SMT oven and then mask 0402 completely and go with wavesoldering
