Wetting Balance Test Method

Abstract

This article discusses part of my thesis „Flux Selection for Wave Soldering“. The part of it focuses on wetting balance test method. This method measures the wetting balance curves (dependence of the wetting force on time). This article contains a theoretical description of the wetting balance test method. It describes the calculation of the wetting force and buoyancy force. It also deals with the course of measurement, correction of the zero axis and evaluation of the measured values.
