Hi Bob, IPC LF Listservers,

Thanks,

Is this written up anyplace in an industry magazine?

Since the Fe in the iNemi article is at the bottom of the pot for the SAC
alloys until it finally is agitated or concentrated enough to come up the
nozzle or wave how are you measuring the iron at the bottom?

Yours in Engineering, Dave

>Although not an issue with the nickel stabilized tin/copper (SN100C)
alloy, FCT offers our SN100C customers who have converted an unprotected
existing pot, a free test program that analyzes the pot initially every
week until an element history is developed. The testing is then extended to
monthly but we feel with the requirements for lead in RoHS, the testing
will have to be no longer than monthly to be able to certify joints as lead
free. We are monitoring closely the lead, copper, and iron and expect the
dissolved iron to be elevated if there is any corrosion occurring.>
>To date, no issues in over 30 pots in North America.
>Regards, Bob Gilbert
