BS EN 62739-3:2017

What is BS EN 62739-3 - Erosion test methods of wave soldering equipment about?   

BS EN 62739 is a European Standard that discusses test methods for the erosion of wave soldering equipment using molten lead-free solder alloy. 

BS EN 62739-3 is the third part of the series that describes the selection methodology of an appropriate evaluating test method for the erosion of the metal materials without or with surface processing intended to be used for lead-free wave soldering equipment as a solder bath and other components which are in contact with the molten solder. 

Who is BS EN 62739-3 - Erosion test methods of wave soldering equipment for?  

BS EN 62739-3 on erosion test method is useful for:  

• Manufacturers of wave soldering equipment 
• Manufacturers of electronic component assemblies 
• Manufacturer of soldering equipment  
• Product design engineers 
• Quality control and testing personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 62739-3 - Erosion test methods of wave soldering equipment?   

For the purposes of BS EN 62739-3, erosion is defined as a phenomenon where a base material is dissolved and made thinner by coming into contact with molten solder.  

The erosion test for metal material without surface processing is to determine the level of erosion by measuring the erosion depth which is generated and increased by the rotation test at 350°C.  

BS EN 62739-3 provides guidance on the appropriate test method depending on the material used and details the correlation between test methods and stresses induced in the field.  

By selecting the right erosion test for your products, you can ensure wave soldering equipment meets the adequate levels of performance and quality, risks of product failures are minimized and service-life of the equipment is enhanced.
