Regarding the LF dross.

I suspect that you are referring to intermetallics rather than dross.
The source that told you otherwise is correct. Copper-tin intermetallics
will now sink rather than rise to the top.  This is due to the lower
density of Pb-free alloys.

Subject: [TN] LF Selective and Wave Soldering

Hi all,
Just like to know whether anyone has done Lead Free Selective Soldering.
Did you have any issues or difficulties?

Secondly on LF dross. I read somewhere that the density of LF dross is
greater than SnPb and the LF alloy, it will sink instead of float.
However a
source who are using LF solders have told me otherwise.

Is this a big issue, if an issue? How would you handle this?

Regards
Dennis Bang
