# Industrial Specification: Reflow Oven

## 1. Technical Definition
A thermal processing machine that melts solder paste to form permanent electrical connections between surface-mount components and printed circuit boards.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **200-280°C with ±2°C zone uniformity, 0.5-1.5 m/min conveyor speed**. Failure boundary: **Solder paste reflow temperature threshold: 217°C for SAC305 alloy, 183°C for Sn63Pb37 alloy; Thermal shock boundary: &gt;10°C/sec ramp rate differential between component body and PCB**, Mechanism: **Solder intermetallic compound formation failure due to insufficient time above liquidus temperature (TAL &lt; 30 seconds for SAC305); Tombstoning from unbalanced wetting forces when component termination temperature differential exceeds 5°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [200-280°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Heater element resistance drift exceeding ±5% from nominal 9.6Ω at 25°C | 8 | Zone temperature deviation beyond ±5°C setpoint causing cold solder joints or component thermal damage | Closed-loop PID control with Type K thermocouples at 0.1-second sampling, redundant heating elements with 2.5:1 turndown ratio |
| Conveyor belt tension loss below 40 N/m causing 0.5 mm positional drift per meter | 8 | PCB dwell time variation exceeding ±3 seconds leading to inconsistent TAL and void formation &gt;25% | Servo-driven conveyor with 0.01 mm positional accuracy, optical encoder feedback at 1000 pulses/revolution |
