Hi Rick,
 
A better appearance may seem like nothing more than that. But there is actually an additional advantage to the shinier joints: it's easier (and thus quicker) to inspect. Just a thought...

Subject: [TN] Nitrogen Reflow

Tech-netters,

We use both ENIG and OSP on 100% SMT products, no-clean, reflow in air.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of converting to a nitrogen
reflow?  Are the significant benefits in quality or just in appearance?
What other things would we need to change (i.e. paste chemistry, etc.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
