Yes. The leads on new parts for the most part are coated with pure tin, which solders normally. Just make sure you buy some old-fashioned solder before IT goes away!

Since there is higher tin content, with higher temperature and presence of more active flux, the erosion of soldering tips occurs faster than regular tin/lead solder.

Part numbers with the "pound" (#) symbol indicate an RoHS-compliant part which has an exemption for lead.

A31. Yes, but there is the potential for poor alignment and open joints. Since the usual SnPb reflow profile may not exceed the melting point of the BGAs’ lead-free solder balls, the SnPb solder paste melts but the SnAgCu solder balls do not. The lack of ball collapse may cause a lack of contact between the solder paste and the solder ball.

The following machines , equipments and tools have been introduced to carry out the lead-free production, The lead-free project has been underway since 2003, We've assigned engineers and technicians to attend various trainings, lectures and seminars on lead-free technology.

The problem with soldering irons, wood burners, and similar devices (including small handheld medical cautery tools generally used to control small bleeders) is that they don't retain enough heat to be used with any degree of reliability. In order to use them effectively, one must brand with so many "re-heat" pauses that undue pain is given to the client. If a tool such as these is to be used, it should be as powerful as possible to make the branding experience (and product) a positive one.

Ammonium chloride (a.k.a. salimoniac), in a bar or liquid form. (This product is not offered by Harris Products Group.)

All of the new parts are completely interchangeable with the old. We have changed the colors and some of the materials, but all will work together. If you've ever had problems with the larger needle sizes being a bit loose on the cords, we have retooled the molds and the 11s, 13s, and 15s are now as tight as the smaller sizes. Needles are available for $4.50 per pair (see above for ordering information).

Higher melting point of Lead-free solder may cause physical and thermal damage to components and PCB.

The recommended procedure for restoring a wrought iron fence with this problem is to either sand blast or wire brush the fence to remove the rust. Once the rust is removed, you should apply a zinc enriched primer, cover it with one or two coats of finish preferably with a rust inhibitor. Just like your car, you can enhance the life span of an iron fence by simply cleaning and polishing the fence with a good automotive wax. BACK TO TOP

With pivot mounts for bolt action rifles it usually will be sufficient to glue the front plate. Above all it is important that you remove the blueing from the glueing surfaces and degrease them very carefully. Please strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for the glue! In some extreme cases it can be useful to solder the front plate.

Most of the parts I ship out as replacements are technically "remanufactured". What this means is that I am recycling the chassis that people have sent me back, by stripping them down to the metal parts, and then building them back up with all new parts. A percentage of the units I supply are built on new chassis, to make up for the ones I never get back and the ones that are unusable.

It really all depends on your level of skill with a soldering iron. For those new to soldering, a 15w iron can be the best because it is not as hot as a 30w. However, experieced solderers may feel more comfortable with a 30 watt iron. It is not reccomended to go much higher than 30w. As for BRAND, it doesn't matter. Cheap Radio Shark irons are perfect to pick up if you are new to soldering and don't want to spend a lot of money on a professional iron (one with variable heat controls)

Yes, provided that the soldering iron is a commercial product and that the leads are always inspected prior to its use to ensure they are sound. They are not to be used by students at power points located near sources of water. Hazards relating to soldering are outlined in CSIS, volume 2, section 3.3.4.2 (f) Metal joining page 32. Source: Chemical Safety in Schools (1999). Department of Education and Training, Volume 2, section 3.3.3.8 Using electric power tools, page 11.

We highly recommend Audio Note silver solder. This is one of the very few solders that has been specifically developed for audio use and is very highly rated.

Solder is a lead/tin mixture that is melted and used to bond two pieces of certain types of metal together.

Most spare parts are shipped within 24 hours of the receipt of your purchase order. Orders received before 12:00 noon EST may be shipped the same day.

A process-related temperature adjustment of lead-containing processes could be possible. Lead-free processes generally require a new temperature profile due to the soldering material used.

The Dixie catalog features thousands of parts for many guns but no company can offer all parts for every gun that was ever made. The index in the back of the catalog offers a listing of the guns that we stock parts for. If you do not know the proper identification of your gun or the part you may send the part or a drawing and we sill try to match something that you can use.

Yes, all parts manufactured by Davies Molding are RoHS compliant. A Certificate of Compliance is available upon request. Please send your request to: rohs@daviesmolding.com.
