The Wetting Balance—Part 2 of a 3-Part Series
Circuits Assembly
In this second installment of this series, the use of a wetting balance as a process development tool is detailed. Although traditionally regarded as a quality control (QC)/quality assurance (QA) tool, the wetting balance can be used in all areas that pertain to soldering and solderability.

The Wetting Balance: Part 3 of a 3-Part Series
Circuits Assembly
In this final article of this series, we explore the proposed change to lead-free alloys—SnCu for wave soldering and SnAgCu for reflow—and how they will impact solderability testing, assembly issues and the necessity of returning to nitrogen inerting to widen the process window.
