We are getting good results at 265C with SN100C.
We did have some problems at 260C.

Ioan,

In the early nineties of the last century I had to find leadfree alloys
that coped as much as possible with the materials used that time with
SnPb wave soldering. I started with worst case alloys as the eutectic
SnCu (227dC).

I met the same problem you have: freezing the alloy in the cool areas of
the solder pot with a temperature setting of 265dC. It turned out that
for wave soldering the pot temperature should be as high as 280dC to
prevent freezing. Even at 275dC icicles were common found on for
instance at axial mounted power resistors.

With Sn100 as solder material, I guess that you also need about 280dC.
Not to speak of the temperature shock that the assembly will undergo.

Conveyor speed was as usual: 1.00 til 1.35 m/min for a contact time of
about 4  seconds, depending of the length of the solde wave. Any faster
speed reduced hole filling in DS assemblies.

VOC-free fluxes required a preheat temperature of 135dC to prevent
explosive evaporation of water in holes and vias.
Colophony fluxes residues gave burned debries in the solder pot very
soon, ininiating glowing phenomina when tinoxides SnO oxidized into
SnO2 spontanuously. So also due to the high pot temperature an oxygen
free environment will be inevitable.

At last we ended the search with the now common accepted SAC-alloy with
its pepper and salt additions for special solder properties.
