You need to re qual your assembly. You also need to check any components that max temp not allow to go over 230C. Check material compatibility for any used on assembly.  Budget 30 to 50K in total (there is no guarantee it works after spending).

Subject: [TN] HandSoldering Using NC Solders

Currently my company has been using two different Alloys for handsoldering 
both Leaded and RoHs No-Clean Assy's.  For the leaded requirement we are 
using AIM and for Rohs we are using Kester.  We currently stock 4 different 
sizes of each (.015", .020", .025", .031")..  My question and thought is to 
phase out the AIM and strictly only use the Kester for both Leaded and Rohs 
Assy's.  All the Soldering is done with Metcals using the 700 & Pwr Tips.  Are 
there any reasons I shouldn't do this?  

Thanks for your help in advance,

Mike Laroe
Mfg Engineer
