Hi Juan!

Yep, the dross is mostly tin oxides. You will generate more, the more
turbulent the wave is. The few times that I've had a pot get low on tin, I
think it was because we were running a lot of boards with bottomside SMT and
we had the turbulent wave on a lot.

You are also right, just get some pure tin bars and add them in.

Subject: [TN] Solder bath analysis. Sn63Pb37 alloy.

I have a question about the variation of the tin content in the solder 
alloy and I'm sure that somebody will explain it me.

Why the tin content decrease more than 1% from the nominal of the 
Sn63Pb37 alloy? May it be by the dross...?

I suppose that it will be neccesary to add pure tin. Is it correct?

Thank you for your support. Kind regards.

Juan
