ABSTRACT:
[A solder alloy for use in automated soldering of workpieces by application thereto of liquid solder from a molten reservoir. The alloy consists essentially of from about 50 to 57.5% by weight tin, from about 1.5 to 4% by weight antimony, with the balance being substantially lead. The alloy is preferably further characterized in displaying a solidus-to-liquidus temperature range no greater than that of a 60/40 weight ratio tin/lead solder.]
An improved process for machine soldering a workpiece by application thereto of a liquid solder from a molten reservoir is disclosed. The improvement resides in the use of solder alloys having a composition of approximately 55% tin, 2.77% antimony, the remainder being substantially lead or approximately 52% tin, 3% antimony, the remainder being substantially lead.
