Used to purchase fusing oil with a Chevron label. They had a water soluble
as well as solvent oil but seems to me that the WS was at a significantly
higher price.  Hollis used to carry oil for their oil injection wave
machines which was basically the same thing.  Think it was Hollis 225.  Did
a very nice job of wave soldering and reducing dross on the pot but sure was
messy.

  We used to make PCB's back in the mid 1970's and used a fusing oil
produced by Shell Oil in our Hydro-squeegee. I want to say it was some sort
of Peanut oil... but I can't remember for sure... Those were my High School
years... :)
  Good luck... - Bill Brooks

    Who are suppliers of inspection quality oils [Canadian Balson??] the
bear the heat of soldering well?

      The outgassin test for blowhole in printed boards was developed in the
years gone bye after it appeared in and Italian PCB specification I was
asked to review. After some testing I did it ended up in the IEC
specification.

      The same oil can be used effectivly for outgassing tests with via in
pad. In the last test I did with ten scrap boards dfrom different suppliers
2 outgassed on the pads from the vias.

      The procedure for through hole which could and has been applied to
vias is on my web site which is in the download section.

      Hope this helps.

        Hi Bob,

        so it was you with this ol $B!- (J oil trick I recently cited ond
not Earl the
        Moonman, sorry for not remembering and citing correct.
        Although I often remember the good things my memory for names seems
a bit
        weak.

        Hope you don $B!- (Jt forgive me

        We have experienced voiding with via in pad, I know it ws stated
that the
        pads don't have vias in them but if they did they can somtimes gass
through
        the plating, its not the air traped by the paste. I have
investigated this
        with my old outgassing oil test which showes up the problem and will
        contribute to voiding.

        Hi, Peter,

        I was at a seminar earlier this year where BGA's and their solder
joints
        were discussed at some length. The received wisdom is that voids in
solder
        joints are not of themselves a 'defect' unless they break out
through the
        side of the ball. In fact, they make the joint more "flexible" -
better
        able to withstand creep fatigue - so are beneficial, up to a point.

        What causes them is often outgassing of volatiles in the solder
paste flux
        during the reflow process, though the size and shape of voids
increases and
        changes when there are via-in-pad features as well. About the only
way to
        detect them is by X-ray, and to judge from previous TechNet
postings, there
        are some pretty fancy machines around now that can give you a very
much
        clearer view of the balls than is normally the case ... if you have
cash to
        splash!

        Hello,





        I am encountering voids after reflow on several micro BGAs on one
PCA
        product. The voids that I $B!G (Bve observed (with Xray) contribute
to as
        high as
        60-70% of the joint area. My reflow profile was designed by running
a
        sample board with dummy components and thermalcouples attached right
at the
        joint. I also inspected the PCB lands and didn $B!G (Bt see any via
on pad.





        Does anyone know the possible reasons for voids formation in BGA
(micro)
        reflow?





        In general, in step by step how would one trouble shoot such a
defect?





        Rgds,


        Peter
