Description
ALPHA Vaculoy Wavesolder Bar 1KG SAC305
ALPHA® wave solder and soldering bar metals (wave soldering alloys) offer best value soldering performance – quality solder bar metals products at the lowest cost of ownership, and thanks to a global copy exact product policy, consistency of wave solder supply is assured. ALPHA Vaculoy Wavesolder Bar 1KG SAC305 delivers:
- High Purity
- Excellent solderability
- Good wetting
- Low oxides, low drossing
- Solder bar, chunks, anodes, preforms and solid wire
- VACULOY® alloy conditioning process
- Supplied in 1Kg bars, packaged in boxes of 20Kg
- Alpha part number 51726. For an ultra low lead version please see Alpha 144898
ALPHA Vaculoy Wavesolder Bar are supplied in either Sn96.5Ag3Cu0.5 and Sn95.5Ag4Cu0.5 alloys. Both are lead-free alloys suitable for use as a replacement for Sn63 alloy. The Sn97Ag3 and Sn96Ag4 variants are used to stabilise / reduce the copper content in the wave solder bath, this requirement will depend on process conditions. As with all Alpha Metals bar solder, Alpha’s proprietary Vaculoy® alloying process is used to remove certain impurities, particularly oxides.
Key features:
- Yield – Best in class yield, out performs all Sn/Cu based materials
- Wetting speed – fast wetting, in back to back tests 0.65s compared to 1.00s, for Sn/Cu based materials
- Dross generation – Low dross generation delivered by Vaculoy alloy conditioning
- Excellent solderability due to fast wetting speed
- Very good drainage, has lower levels of bridging compared to Sn/Cu alloys
- Delivers excellent performance across a wide range of Flux technologies
- The proprietary Vaculoy process is a highly effective method for removing included oxides from solder. This is extremely important because included oxides generate excessive drossing and increase the viscosity of the solder. Solder with higher viscosity can result in increased soldering defects (i.e solder bridging)
