Two pictures. Dark circles around solder joints. leaded solder, water soluble flux, selective soldering and seeing these dark lines circling around solder joints. Can not remove this either. Any idea what is making this occur??? See attached photos

Hello! I'd like to now if you have similar requests from your customers as we have that we are not alloved to manually repair solder joints after reflow or wave soldering process? Regards!

What would be a typical thermal test regime to verify the quality of solder joints for high specification applications - what would be the specific benefits of utilizing a "HALT" process over other traditional test techniques ?

I have a thick board with ground planes that will be soldered by hand with a mildly active solder/flux. X-ray confirmed that solder was added to the top of the joint causing a void between the bottom and top solder joint. Other than the mildly acti

Yes. Baking boards is best. Hitting the hamer on the head!

Being very new to SMT I won't assume I know what the problem is but.... I had lots of air pockets in solder joints, 95% of the boards. Everyone I spoke to thought it was a problem with my process but when one board was sent to our supplier they admi

Do your boards only have three parts on them? Otherwise, i dont see how this is possible. Do you scrap the board if there is an issue or do you fix it and make it look like reflow soldering?
