High Purity Nitrogen Generation for Lead-Free Solder

Lead-Free Solder

High purity nitrogen gas is used in many solder applications. The benefits of inert gas soldering include reduced dross on solder pots, and reduced surface tension, which allows solder to cleanly break away from the solder site. Nitrogen generator purities typically range from 99.99% to 99.9995%, but consult your OEM owners manual for exact requirements.

High Purity Nitrogen Generation for Lead-Free Solder

High purity nitrogen gas is used in many solder applications. The benefits of inert gas soldering include reduced dross on solder pots, reduced surface tension and higher-quality soldering joints. In a lead-free selective soldering process, nitrogen allows soldering to continue without dross overwhelming the work area or soldering nozzle. This allows the solder to cleanly break away from the site and prevent undesirable bridging between joints and nozzles.

Nitrogen Generators allow a supply of high-quality nitrogen to the work area, providing flow and purity at your fingertips. Nitrogen generator purities typically range from 99.99% to 99.9995% but you should consult your original equipment manufacturers owners’ manual for exact requirements. Achieve a quick return on your investment with the stabilization of your nitrogen costs.
