Background
Reflow ovens (Reflow ovens) are devices that allow surface mounted components and circuit boards to be reliably bonded together by a solder paste alloy by providing a heated environment that melts the solder paste. The nitrogen protection in the reflow oven prevents the materials which are easy to oxidize, such as soldering tin, silver and the like in the reflow area from being oxidized at a high temperature, so that the welding defect is avoided. With the development of the electronic industry to miniaturization and multiple specifications, the requirements on product quality are higher and higher, so that the vacuum reflow oven with the vacuum device is gradually and widely applied to meet the new demands of the market and reduce the product defects caused by welding. The vacuum device can effectively reduce the size and the number of solder cavities during the welding of the reflow oven, and improve the welding quality.
Vacuum reflow ovens are critical devices for surface mount technology in electronics manufacturing, whose quality and handling directly impact the quality of the final product, and once the soldering process is completed, it becomes very complex and costly to repair defective solder joints, components or circuit boards. The reflow zone has the effect of rapidly increasing the temperature to enable the solder paste to reach a molten state, and the liquid solder wets, diffuses, overflows or reflows the solder pads, component terminals and pins of the PCB to form solder joints. The peak solder reflow temperature varies depending on the solder paste used, and is typically 20-40 c plus the melting point temperature of the solder paste. This helps to promote faster wetting of the solder paste as the viscosity and surface tension of the solder paste decrease with increasing temperature. Thus, ideal reflow soldering is the best combination of peak temperature and solder paste melting time. The ideal temperature profile is the tip region exceeding the melting point of the solder paste, the covered area is minimum and bilateral symmetry, and the soldering time is generally 60-90s.
After the reflow zone, the product cools, solidifies the solder joint, and is ready for subsequent assembly. Controlling the cooling rate is critical, and cooling too quickly may damage the assembly, and cooling too slowly increases the time above the liquid TAL (Time Above Liquids), possibly creating fragile welds. The main point of control of the cooling zone is mainly the cooling rate.
The vacuum reflow oven is generally provided with a jig for passing through the oven, and the cooling rate in a cooling area is insufficient due to the fact that the specific heat capacity of the jig is too large, so that the tapping temperature of the jig is too high. The vacuum furnace needs to be matched with external water cooling, and the effect cannot be achieved by pure circulating air cooling. The water cooling is generally to draw out high-temperature hot air from between the reflux zone and the cooling zone, physically exchange heat with circulating cold water through an ice water machine (a water chiller), cool the hot air and return to the cooling zone. Therefore, rosin can be collected, N2 loss is prevented, and the jig can be cooled. The cooling zone has a similar air duct circulation device as the heating zone. Thus, cold air is mixed after being poured into the air duct device, and the jig is cooled. Because the air after the hot air is subjected to physical heat exchange is cooled, the temperature is not too low, and thus, the efficiency of a cooling area is not too high. If the cooling rate of 6-10 ℃/S is required and is aimed at a jig with large heat capacity, the vacuum reflow oven cannot meet the requirement. Also, since the length of the furnace cooling zone is fixed, the exit plate temperature can be too high (e.g., greater than 120 ℃) and can directly affect downstream processing.

It is generally intuitive that the temperature should be slowly lowered to counteract thermal shock of the components and pads. However, slow cooling of solder paste reflow soldering forms more coarse grains, generating larger Ag in the interface layer and the interior of the solder joint 3 Sn、Cu 6 Sn 5 Inter-metallic compound particles. Reducing the mechanical strength of the welding spotsDegree and thermal cycle life, and may cause a dull, low gloss or even a matt spot. Conclusion from many solder laboratory studies: the rapid cooling is beneficial to obtaining stable and reliable welding spots.
The forced cooling device can achieve a better forced cooling effect. And the rapid cooling can form smooth, uniform and thin intermetallic compounds, and form fine tin-rich dendrites and fine grains dispersed in a tin matrix, so that the mechanical property and reliability of the welding spot are obviously improved.
It should be noted that in production applications, it is not the larger the cooling rate, the better. Consideration is given to the cooling capacity of the reflow soldering apparatus, and the thermal shock that the board, components and pads can withstand. A balance should be struck between the board and the components while ensuring solder joint quality. The minimum cooling rate should be above 2.5 deg.c/S and the optimum cooling rate above 3 deg.c/S. Considering the thermal shock that components and PCBs can withstand, the maximum cooling rate should be controlled at 6-10 c/S. When the factory selects equipment, it is preferable to select reflow soldering with water cooling function to obtain a strong cooling capacity reserve.
