Wave soldering - SIAD Società Italiana Acetilene e Derivati

The use of nitrogen instead of air in the soldering atmosphere can significantly improve the results of the wave soldering process, with the following benefits:

• decreased operating costs
• better wetting and hole filling, even on the smallest components
• less bridging and icicling
• less equipment cleaning and maintenance
• reduced operator exposure to toxic volatiles
• more flexibility in board design
• optimum, no-clean wave soldering process
• improved quality through patented processes and equipment
• decreased solder consumption
• reduced or entire elimination of dross
• a reduction in defects, maintenance and process variability.
