Subject: Re: [TN] antimony level in wave solder bath


Hello Tehn,

Sb is now accepted as having no effect on formation of tin pest in
normal solder alloys and a modest amount, maybe up to 0.5%, will have
only marginal effect on solder wetting and joint brittleness. For more
info, I suggest you look at Soldering in Electronics by Klein-Wassink
(ISBN 0 901150 24 X) or the books by Howard Manko.

Regards,
Roger Bilham
