Dave Hillman,
With your metallurgical background you might be a better person than I to make a comment. I'm not sure I've even had or seen an occasion where something dissolved in the bulk solder and increased the melting/solidification temperature. Yes I've seen the leading edge of solder as it flows and wets a surface dissolve metallization and freeze because the local meting temperature changed but I've never seen that happen to the bulk of a solder joint

George

George,
It's been a long day, and maybe I'm not making myself too clear.
We're not being able to achieve a liquidus state with a 700 degree F soldering iron. We're not trying to melt the lead, just the solder that's holding it to the PCB. We're not accomplishing that with the new component, so I'm thinking something has mixed with the solder joint and has raised the resultant reflow temperature.

Leland,
Am I missing something? I don't think it really matter that the lead base material or lead surface finish is. What matters is the solder used to attach the lead to the board. When you desolder a lead you don't melt the lead you melt the solder.

George

Hi Leland - I recommend you find out the lead base metal composition. If you shot an SEM-EDS of the lead toe, you could be getting the Si from the base metal composition and not part of the solder alloy composition.

Re: [TN] Rework Concern and Question
Vladimir,
We analyzed raw components straight out of the tape and reel packaging.
The site selection was on the bottom side of the leads at the toe.

Sorry Ben, it doesn't.
Leland,
What you are saying sounds strange. What does it mean: "We've analyzed the lead material beneath the SEM and it returns 98% tin and 2% silicone"? Did you analyzed leads or solder? Where the analysis was taken from? Did you analyzed leads with pads ripped off?

Vladimir

Leland,
I won't claim to be an expert, but this website seems to imply something along those lines.

Folks,
We've ran across a strange incident and I'd like a little advice from the group.
We recently underwent a component vendor change, and part of the first group of boards were misbuilt due to incorrect polarity (the part marking was misinterpreted by the vision operator).
Anyway, an attempt to remove the part by our Repair group resulted in lifted pads on 10 of the first 12 boards. We've analyzed the lead material beneath the SEM and it returns 98% tin and 2% silicone. The old style component comes off quite easily (within 3 seconds), and an analysis of its leads shows to be 100% tin. It's a 6 pin diode with very little mass.
What's going on here? Does a 2% silicone mix raise the melting point of solder by 200 degrees C?
Please help me understand.
Thanks,
Leland
