because most components are specified for meeting temp shocks

Absolutely true. I recently took over the VP process here, and I am beginning to like it more and more. I was worried about the thermal shock inherent to the process, but it does not seem to be as big of a reliability issue as I thought it would be.

To build on Richard's comments, we also make difference between wave soldering, IR, VP and hand soldering. E.g. with VP, no risk of oxide formation, no dross, near instant liquidus etc, we use little lower top temperature, which many components like.

To build on Werner's comments, understand that you must be in total liquidus for wetting dissolution (IMF formation) to take place. No real wetting takes place in the plastic range between 179 and 189 C. The difference is somewhat irrelevant, as you should really be above at least 189 (liquidus) plus 20C as Werner stated. So your TALT should begin at 209C ramping up and again ramping down. You really do not need to have this TALT be longer than 15 seconds or so for good wetting on the coolest solder joint on the assembly, even on ENIG. If this means having a TALT longer than 120 seconds on the hottest point, then make sure you use nitrogen else if the solder is held in liquidus for that long of a time some oxidation begins to occur (just like the dross formation on your wave solder or tin pot) and you get overheated, flux-starved solder joints.

Hi Joe,
Unfortunately, a natural outcome of a proper reflow profile has become a parameter to be aimed at. TAL is NOT a proper reflow parameter, and assures in and of itself not good wetting and metallurgical bonding.
Adequate solder joint quality is assured with achieving Liquidus+20 C for 5 seconds at the slowest heating solder joint in the assembly. So whatever the Liquidus temperature is for your solder alloy +20 for 5 seconds. For eutectic SnPb that means 203C for 5 seconds at the slowest heating solder joint, which of course means everything else on the assembly will see higher peak temperatures for longer times [except for vapor phase, of course].
