Happy, the contact for lead free HASL was/is Greg Bartlett,  at Teledyne
HALCO.  He spoke at IPC Alternate Final Board Finishes Committee in 2001 for the
Lead Free HASL Users Group.  Phone I have for Greg is 603-889-6191, ext 239.
E-mail I have for Greg is [log in to unmask]

My understanding is that problems of putting lead free solders in a HASL
machine had been pretty well worked out.  Seems to me they were dross formation,
attack on stainless steel, etc.  Of course, operation had to be at a hotter
temperature than eutectic solder.

We have a customer asking for Pb-free HASL.  I am not familiar with this
finish.  The temperature for Pb-free solder would be quite high and the
effects on a board, as well as the HASL equipment might be detrimental.
The customer says it is used in Japan, he quotes a Matsushita Electric
news release.  The release seems to indicate that they are using a
lead-free solder paste but  that word is not used, just "PCBs with
lead-free solder".  Does anyone know of a Pb-free HASL process?
