I'm doubting that (that is why I don't think Fe is to be blamed and mentioned an Fe-Ni alloy as an example). In the original request Somtawin said that the base material is a bronze.

hi,

is it possible that the base metal for the leads on the parts that aren't soldering is a nickel-iron alloy like alloy 42?

Hi Vladimir,
By visual and SEM, we couldn't see anything on surface, all good and bad
part show nothing different. Just EDX analysis that show Fe contain in
bad part. So we though may be the Nickel bath had Fe contaminated. 
For %P , Can we check by EDX? And how high to cause the problem?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Somtawin,

First thing I'd suspect is oxidation/contamination of the solderable
surface. EDS may not catch it if it's just oxidation (the layer would be
too thin for the method). lathe fact that you see Fe does not make me
very optimistic. How does it show up, as inclusions (embedded into the
surface) or "dissolved" in the plating? Second thing would be the
content of P. If it's too high, then it might be a problem as well.

Regards,

Vladimir

Now we have some problem in one component. The component was plated
Nickel (electroplated) , and  base material is phosphor bronze. The
problem we found was solderability failed. We try to find out what's the
cause. We have to inspect the solderability   by dipping test before
passed to the line. Some failed some passed. we had done the analysis to
compare the good one and bad one. We had check Nickel thickness (XRF,
cross section), phosphorus content and grain structure (by SEM & EDX).
From  the data , it show the different. But we don't know how does it
effect to the solderability. Does anyone know what 's the parameter that
affect to solderability, how? And what 's about the contaminate in
Nickel bath ? 

From EDX we found Fe element in bad part, does Fe effect to
solderability? 

 

Thanks & Regards,
