Hello Fellow New Englander!
The snow has fully changed over to rain -- I don't think it will be
clearing soon enough to enjoy a beautiful sunset tonight as we did last
Friday.

On the topic of changing over to LF pots -- We purchased separate pots
for our LF.
We will be using SAC 305 for 2 main reasons -- 1.It's what we will be
using throughout the rest of our LF process including our wave machine,
and 2.It's what our Wire/Cable suppliers are using.

We'll be using a NC flux.

Subject: [LF] wire tinning solder pots

Good afternoon,
 
Has anyone started to change over small solder pots used for wire
tinning from tin/lead to lead free?
 
What alloy and flux has you found to be best?
 
I'm planning to run SAC305 in my wave solder pot, so using the same
would be convenient, but not essential.
 
Using an RA or RMA flux probably would be best.
 
The primary function of these solder pots is for tinning Litz wire (many
fine strands of individually enamel coated wires) for inductors.
 
All suggestions are welcome.
 
Phil Nutting
