Olivia,

I know that IPC-TR-460 covers wave solder trouble shooting covering process issues as well

as design issues. Bear in mind that this is an old document dated 1973 and revised in 1974.

How ever it is a good starting point for the non initiated waver.

and covers the following:

Foreword..... i

Pinholes/Blowholes............. 1

Spattering/Solderballs.......... 3
