SOLDER BATH AND METHOD OF HEATING SOLDER CONTAINED IN THE SOLDER BATH

摘要

A solder bath comprises a solder bath main body containing lead-free solder. A heating member heats the solder and is mounted on outer surfaces of a bottom and sides of the solder bath main body. The heating member contains a thermal diffusion member that is made of stainless steel, a porous heat insulator that is mounted on and attached to the thermal diffusion member, and a heating element that is buried in the porous heat insulator. The heating element is also away from the thermal diffusion member. The thermal diffusion member is heated by heat of the heating element to heat the solder bath main body evenly through thermal diffusion from the thermal diffusion member up to a constant range of temperature and the solder contained in the solder bath is heated evenly to a constant range of temperature.
