For basic information I recommend 2 books from R.J. Klein Wassink 

- Soldering in Electronics

- Manufacturing Techniques for Surface Mounted Assemblies


The IPC Hnbk 001 & Hnbk 005 also have some good stuff.

Subject: [TN] Looking for some basic information on flux

All-
 
I am working on a project at my University, and in the literature review
section of the paper I need to speak to some basics of solder flux. I am
actually having a hard time finding "basic" (and referenceable)
information on solder flux. I need sources that will explain what the
different parts of the flux do as well as the inherent differences
between fluxes that are liquid (such as wave flux) vs. flux that is
found in solder pastes. If anyone can assist me in this endeavor it
would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Katy
