Wave Soldering - Finish and Quality

Finish and Quality

Quality depends on proper temperatures when heating and on properly treated surfaces.

Defect Possible causes Effects
Cracks Mechanical Stress Loss of Conductivity
Cavities Contaminated surface

Lack of flux
Insufficient preheating

 Reduction in strength

Poor conductivity
Wrong solder thickness Wrong solder temperature

Wrong conveyor speed

 Susceptible to stress

Too thin for current load
Undesired bridging between paths
Poor Conductor Contaminated solder Product Failures
