Abstract
Solderability testing of components is usually based on measurement of the time of contact with molten solder to achieve good wetting under given test conditions. Since wetting of a surface by molten solder involves a change in the surface tension forces due to interaction of the solder, flux and base metal, monitoring of the forces acting on a specimen as it becomes wetted serves as a method for solderability measurement. At every point of the soldering process, the surface tension balance makes it possible to achieve quantitative results.
