Dave, I'll be using Glastic for the bulk of the pallet but I'm looking for opinions on using titanium for masking and support where the Glastic will not support the weight. Thanks, Mike.

Glastic is cheaper than the custom composite materials normally used for pallets, but the few I have had fabbed started to degrade pretty quickly. Some pallet material is rated at 260 C continuous / 360 Max where the best Glastic I could find is rate

Solder balls with wave soldering can have different causes. The two most important are the solderresist and the flux. I have similar problems, after changes the flux type 90% off all solderballs are gone. KR, Joris Groot koerkamp

I would say no, unless your machine is in extremeconditions. You may want to check your flux / preheat out as well. If you are leaving a lot of flux on the board at wave, it may be boiling - which can cause solder balls.

Aren't the solder balls a result of the blowholes? you know the solder that came from the blowholes is now the solderballs on the resist! hahaha :-) Russ

Thanks for all the answers. Is it also possible with lead free soldering to produce little holes in the solder that are not blowholes? We see holes where you can see the end of the hole (not very deep). The holes are always on the same places.

that I Can still use my old laser cut stencil that I used in leaded process? and also my wave pallet that I have used in leaded process? Your comment is highly appreciated for all lead-free transition recommendation and control.cheers n rgds

I use Pentagon EMS (503) 924-2747 with Chad Haima. Note: I do not get a penny for referals. I just like the service, super fast, high quality and excellent customer service. I have worked with them for about 4 years. Thanks, George

Is anybody using IPC TR-640A? This is a troubleshooting checklist for wave soldering. Is it worth looking at?
