machine oil

Definition

liquid compounds formulated for use as oil in wave-soldering equipment

Notes

  • NOTE They serve primarily to provide a barrier between the atmosphere and molten solder, thereby reducing the oxidation (drossing) of the solder. Certain oils also reduce the surface tension of molten solder, thereby enhancing the wetting characteristics of the solder.
