Sn60pb40 Solder Alloy

solder alloy of Sn60Pb40Cu* in its molten state has a high resistance to surface oxidation.
This is especially beneficial when used in high temperature applications. A surface film forms when
the alloy reaches molten state that allows the penetration of wires or component leads for tinning, it
does not adhere to the component part being soldered or tinned. The film drastically reduces the
formation of oxides (dross) on the molten alloy by the prevention of atmospheric oxygen oxidising the
tin content of the solder bath.
60 HTS works extremely well when used for stripping and tinning enamelled copper wire.
60HTS gives bright tinning to wires and component leads. Being a 60/40 alloy the tinned surfaces are
compatible with any secondary soldering as may be required. The small amount of copper (0.12%)
aids the amalgamation of the alloy with bare copper surfaces.
60 HTS reduces losses incurred through dross formation.

Chemical Characteristics
Amount of Tin: 60%
Amount of Lead: Remainder
Tin and lead from first melting purity: <0.12% ( Cu is a component, not an impurity in this alloy)

Applications:
60 HTS especially suitable for use in static soldering pots and baths at high temperatures. The
duration of immersion will depend upon the mass of the component being tinned and whether or not
enamel removal is required.
Note that in use, the molten solder exhibits a slightly coloured surface sheen; this is due to the film protecting the solder
surface from oxidation. Care must be taken when cleaning the solder surface as far as possible
remembering however that some oxides and debris will need to be removed occasionally.

MBO De-Ox Pellets may be used to supplement the level of protective film on the solder surface.

Note also, if used at temperatures of over 500C lead fumes will begin to enter the atmosphere.
Fume extraction should be used in all instances involving soldering and flux irrespective of materials and
process temperatures.
