J-STD-001 contains a list of Solder contamination limits and notes following the list. I would like to hear some expert opinions about the meaning of the notes. MIL-STD-2000A's list and J-STD-001'S list are the same. Do both documents limit "going out of the box" to develop a dross inhibitor? Is there truly an "other column" for insignificant contaminants that would not show up on samples for solder contaminants? Where does the dross blanket draw the line, on oil? If dross and lead oxides are in the pot, and a method could be used to prevent this or make a significant reduction, it would seem like from a continuous improvement stand point it should be done/tested. I would appreciate very much responses from J-STD-001 Authors and solder experts. Thank you in advance.
