Introduction
As a key supporting material in the soldering process, solder flux has a decisive influence on the quality of soldered joints:
In the implementation of the strong foundation project, the national major science and technology projects "core electronic devices, high-end general-purpose chips and basic software products" and "super large-scale
Technology research and development of core electronic devices, high-end chips and integrated circuit complete sets of technology in the "Special Project for Molded Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Equipment and Complete Sets of Technology"
Among them, solder flux is the key basic material, and it is of great significance to formulate the test method standard for its quality performance evaluation:
Since:2001, my country has successively promulgated and implemented "Tin-Lead Solder", "Lead-free Solder", "Flux Classification and Performance Requirements" and "Solder Solder":
As an important component of the solder, solder flux is not only important for the solderability and processability of the solder
It is also critical to the environment, reliability of solder joints and applications: GB/T 38265 "Solder Flux Test Method" is a
General test method standard, it is proposed to consist of the following parts:
--- Part 1: Gravimetric method for determination of non-volatile matter content;
--- Part 2: Boiling point method for the determination of non-volatile matter content;
--- Part 3: Determination of acid value by potentiometric titration and visual titration;
--- Part 5: Bronze mirror test;
--- Part 6: Determination of halide (excluding fluoride) content;
--- Part 8: Determination of zinc content;
--- Part 9: Determination of ammonia content;
--- Part 10: Test methods for the spreading of the wetting properties of solder fluxes;
--- Part 11: Solubility of flux residues;
--- Part 13: Determination of flux spatterability;
--- Part 14: Evaluation of the adhesiveness of flux residues;
--- Part 15: Copper corrosion test;
--- Part 16: Wetting balance method for wetting properties of solder flux;
--- Part 17: Surface insulation resistance comb brush test and electrochemical migration test of flux residues:
This document adopts the method of copper corrosion test to qualitatively evaluate the corrosivity of solder flux residues on the surface of copper substrates under controlled environmental conditions:
The method has the advantages of simple operation, strong applicability, accurate and reliable results, etc:, and has become an important detection method in flux products:

3 Terms and Definitions
There are no terms and definitions that need to be defined in this document:
4 Principles
Solder shot and flux are melted on the copper sheet test piece, and then the test piece is exposed to a controlled temperature and humidity environment to cause the test piece to corrode:
Corrosion of flux residues was evaluated by low magnification microscope:
5 Reagents and Materials
5:1 Ammonium persulfate solution
Dissolve 250 g of ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8] in distilled or deionized water, slowly add 5 mL of sulfuric acid (1:84 g/mL), and mix:
Mix well, cool, dilute to 1L and mix well: This solution should be prepared before use:
