Flux Mechanisms from Solderability Measurements

Abstract

Reaction rate curves for a complete range of rosin based fluxes, calculated from observed solderability wetting time curves on progressively more heavily oxidised copper, are presented. These are compared with the form expected on the basis of a concentration‐dependent fluxing mechanism. Either a chain reaction type or an autocatalytic type mechanism is suggested from the observations presented.
