Vapour phase Soldering
IconicPCB:
MK..
nicely pointed out...
IconicPCB:
Is stainless steel really a requirement?
I mean if fluid is inert it ought not contribute to corrosion process in any way.
Why does it need to be stainless steel why not ordinary galvanized sheet metal ?
zapta:
Can't this type of reflow be achieved using less expensive liquids? For example, using a pressure cooker to increase the vapors temperature.
IconicPCB:
A pressure vessel brings in problems of its own.
Licensing of operator and inspection of equipment come to mind immediately.
Trying to achieve the thermal profile I suspect becomes a bit more complicated.

I was thinking of a home setting for hobby purposes. Profile may be controlled by controlling the pressure in addition to the heat and possibly using solder paste with lower melting temperature.
Edit: Glycerin for example has a sea level boiling temperature of 554F,
