Equipment Impacts of Lead-Free Wave Soldering

Abstract

Impact of lead-free wave soldering on the equipment used as solder units is discussed. Wave solder equipment have some weaknesses such as corrosion and short life of the material used in the solder module. It is suggested that tin-rich, lead-free solder can be used in pre-existing and new wave solder machines if appropriate materials are used in the construction of soldering units. It is also suggested that nitride-coated stainless steel is a cost-effective material to use for the internal solder module components, but care must be taken to not damage the surface coatings during maintenance.
