During the last 5 years, the processes to remove flux residues especially for lead-free and challenging geometries have demonstrated new cleaning obstacles which have to be overcome. A new methodology has been recently developed to further increase the propensity for successful cleaning. At the core of this method is the thermal identification of the residue matrix. (...)
The Thermodynamic Nature of Flux
Experience indicates that softer residues are easier to clean than hard residues. What makes a residue hard is inherent in its make-up and history. The thermal history of a flux residue is important. The number of solder reflow cycles, the peak temperature, time after reflow and duration of the heating and cooling cycle will influence the hardness and thus, the cleanability of the residue.
