Metallic surfaces to be provided with a tin-lead coating from an immersion tin-lead bath, and particularly copper surfaces (e.g., through-holes, pads) of a printed circuit board having other metallic surfaces thereon covered by a hydrophobic solder mask, are prepared for receipt of immersion tin-lead coating by, e.g., contact thereof with a strongly acidic aqueous pre-dip solution containing at least one surface active agent functional to reduce the surface tension of the pre-dip solution and/or to provide the solution with improved affinity for the metallic surface. |
