lead free solder process development
lead free solder process development covers a list of key topics including legislation soldering fluxes smt wave rework alloys component finishes reliability edxrf and standards . it is intended as a reference guide to engineers in the industry who are or who will be migrating to lead free soldering . it is not intended to be an exhaustive review of the literature but to be a practical reference guide for selected key subject areas . each subject area is discussed by those who have conducted work in the field and can provide insight into what are the most important areas to consider . the book gives updates in areas for which research is ongoing and addresses new topics which are relevant to lead free soldering . p a practicing engineer will find the book of use as it goes into these topics in sufficient detail to make it informative and a good practical guide to address issues of concern in these areas . chapters on soldering fluxes component finishes alloys edxrf and certain areas on reliability have not been covered in sufficient detail in previous books so the proposed book will be a timely reference for engineers in the field . the lead free solder process window has been found to be smaller than for tin lead so a specific chapter is dedicated to six sigma process methodologies to help engineers approach lead free soldering processes with better evaluation and process methodologies .
