Werner emailed several times to me directly, and to others on the forum that the term "above liquidus" should not be used when dealing with eutectic solder, as there was no such thing as being above the liquidus, ie, above the molten state. The solder is liquidus above the solidus temperature, solid below it. So, to describe the molten state of the solder, the correct term would be "above solidus". Was he wrong?

Agreed. I believe Richard is referring to the seldom referenced Vapidus
temperature where vapor and liquid can co-exist.

Richard, the liquidus temperature is the maximum temperature at which
solid crystals can co-exist with liquid. Above the liquidus the material
is completely liquid. The solidus temperature is in contrast the
temperature below which liquid can't exist. In terms of a tin/lead phase
diagram it is the upper boundary of the liquid+solid "mushy" region

You mean time above solidus. Time above liquidus is vapor.
Yes, 105 degrees in liquidus does seem excessive, but it depends on the
size/mass of the CCA being soldered. It might be required for very large
CCAs.

Hi,
Should I be concerned by excessive TAL ? (inter-metalic, etc)
Do you consider 105sec TAL with a Indium 5.1 paste excessive ? (Indium
recommends 45-60sec)
Thanks,
Fabien
