We at AIL Systems are in the process of switching to non-rosin (water soluble) fluxes for use on military hardware... yes, even MIL-STD-2000 contracts. We have selected a flux which was listed on the QPL for MIL-F-14256 (this makes the DoD guys feel better). We have successfully passed qualification to ANSI/J-STD-001A, which is the same test as NAWCADLKE-MISC-05-MT0002 (whew!), which was slated as the qualification test for MIL-STD-2000B prior to it's cancellation. We are in the process of asking the individual procuring activities for our various contracts permission to use the qualified flux/process. At this time, we haven't/don't expect negative responses, we already have received some approvals. If you want to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to call or write.
