Solder joint defects such as weak soldering, cold soldering and solder bridges can lead to unstable board functionality or complete failure. Effective solder joint quality control not only improves product quality, but also reduces rework and scrap rates.
I. Soldering process optimization
1. Welding parameter adjustment
Adjustment of welding parameters can improve the welding effect, reduce solder joint defects.
How to adjust?
Ensure that the welding temperature is moderate. Control the welding time. Adjust the amount of solder according to the size of components and pads. Regularly check and adjust the welding parameters to ensure that the welding process is stable and the quality of the solder joint meets the standard.
2. Choose the right welding material
Choosing the right welding material can improve the welding effect and reduce the occurrence of defects.
How to choose?
Suitable solder alloy, such as lead-free solder. Use high-quality flux to ensure the wettability and fluidity of the soldering process.
Select soldering materials that meet the requirements and conduct appropriate soldering process tests to ensure the quality of solder joints.
II. Inspection of solder joint quality
1. Visual inspection
Weld joint inspection by manual or automated equipment to find obvious welding defects.
Checking the appearance of the solder joint: Observe the shape, smoothness and solder distribution of the solder joint, and check whether there are problems such as false soldering, cold soldering or solder bridges.
Inspect the pads: Ensure that the pads are well connected to the solder joints and that there are no detachments or open circuits.
Implementation strategy: Through regular visual inspection, timely detection and treatment of solder joint defects to improve product quality.
2. Automatic Optical Inspection
Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) is a highly efficient solder joint inspection technology that utilizes image processing technology to detect solder joint defects.
III. Welded joint maintenance and repair
1. Regular maintenance of soldering equipment
Regular maintenance and calibration of welding equipment can ensure the stability of the welding process.
Equipment cleaning: regular cleaning of the welding equipment to remove solder residues and other dirt.
Equipment calibration: regular calibration of the welding equipment to ensure the accuracy of the welding temperature and time.
Implementation strategy: the establishment of equipment maintenance program, regular cleaning and calibration of welding equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
2. Weld joint repair
Manual repair: Use a hot air gun or welding pen to manually repair defective solder joints, remove excess solder and re-weld.
Rework processing: Rework processing of serious defects, including the replacement of damaged components and re-soldering.
Implementation strategy: Repair defective solder joints found in a timely manner to ensure product quality meets standards.
