Require credited solder material vendor to offer samples and related specificaton for perusal. Set the temperature profile of solder bath as per specification. Finally undergo a test on the sampleand review the result.

Whatever works for your product. In our view, there is no such as a "good" material or a "bad" material. You just have to find materials that have the right blend of properties for your hardware and your process. We have seen very good results from: Alpha Metals UP-78, Kester 245, Indium SMQ-92J, Multicore X33, although each paste manufacturer has some excellent offerings. It depends on what you are looking for. See similar questions...

We recommend that you use solder paste when using StencilQuik? stencils. This will more closely reproduce the original processing of the device and provide similar reliability. Using solder paste is just as easy as using paste flux with StencilQuik? stencils and will improve the yield of the rework process. See similar questions...

Make sure you never use solder that says "acid core". Plumbers might use that stuff to solder oxidized metals but it will corrode the $#|+ out of your electronics if used. Avoid that stuff like the plague. Here are three types that are OK to use: Tin 37% Lead" solder is the easiest stuff to use IMO since it melts cleanly at the lowest temperature. Make sure it says "Rosin Core" if it has flux added - most have it. Then if it says "no-clean flux" it's even easier. The Kester brand works for me. See similar questions...

That depends on the standards and if you are "qualifying" a material or process. In general, we recommend that you use the same thickness of stencil that you will be using in production. Most standard test methods use an 8 mil stencil, but that puts on twice the amount of paste and flux if you only use a 4 mil stencil in production. If you are qualifying the flux or process, use what the specification says. See similar questions...

Any fuel gas lines installed using copper tube must be brazed using a filler metal containing less than 0.05% P (phosphorus) and a melting temperature greater than 1000 degrees F. The only filler metal (trade and industry standard) that contains less than the 0.05% P would be an AWS BAg type alloy (according to the American Welding Society’s AWS A5.8 specification). In no case should solder or “soft-solder” be used to join copper tube and fittings in fuel gas systems. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

SIPAD ssd used only water soluble solder paste, eutectic or lead free, so that residues left behind after reflow can be cleaned prior to the flattening process. See similar questions...

If you must use flux instead of solder paste, ensure that you use a high quality no-clean paste (sticky) flux. A squeegee should be used to apply the paste flux to the StencilQuik? stencil followed by a visual inspection to ensure that all the holes have paste flux in them. Liquid flux may contain up to 98% alcohol and the high alcohol content may attack the acrylic adhesive. See similar questions...

Unless the cut is over, say, 2 inches across, it really isn't necessary. Cut paste seems to be more for cosmetic purposes than medicinal. Cut paste is superfluous on conifers. The least recommended type of cut paste is soil. You can introduce harmful microorganisms into the cut with that. See similar questions...

GC America's parent company, GC Dental, first introduced MI Paste in late 2002 in Australia. It quickly became a favorite with dental professionals around the world because it's a safe, effective way to treat a variety of oral health conditions. See similar questions...

Fruit Pastes are the perfect accompaniment to cheese and make a wonderful addition to any cheeseboard or antipasto selection. They can also be used in cooking and make a flavoursome addition in many recipes. For ideas and recipe suggestions see our Ideas for Use page. See similar questions...

No. WALLIES are pre-pasted. You just wet the back of the Wallies with a wet sponge for a few seconds and then stick them to the wall. It is so easy. See similar questions...

Try this with the paste. Find a smallish leaf with an interesting texture - a geranium leaf is good. Paint the paste on the back, let it dry. Continue to add layers and let them dry, until you have built up about 6-8 layers. Then fire. The leaf will burn away, and you will have a stunning leaf made of silver. See similar questions...

Selecting Paste Fill will then allow you to select a block of audio and paste your data only into that block. See similar questions...

Selecting Save Paste Buffer will then save the audio information (that you are waiting to paste), which was cut or copied, into a wave file so that you can use it later. See similar questions...

On thin metal or small parts, propane or Mapp Gas works fine. Use an oxy-acetylene with heavy gauge metals. [back to top] See similar questions...

Most battery plugs are very inefficient in use and racers want to squeeze every bit of power out of their motors and batteries. Soldering the wires directly to the motor and/or battery instead of using plugs is one way to regain some of the lost battery power. There are a couple of types of plugs that lose almost no power, however preassembled battery packs aren't equipped with them. See similar questions...
