ABSTRACT:
A method for pretreating a solder surface for fluxless soldering is disclosed. The method uses a noble fluorine gas to remove surface oxides from solder surfaces, without the use of external stimulation. A noble fluorine gas is suffused across the solder surface to reduce or eliminate or chemically convert the surface oxides. The process can take place at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. A simple belt driven transport may be used to move the parts past a nozzle which emits the vapor in a system similar to a conventional solder reflow machine.
