    Tips geting oxidized when using wick

    Hi, i have weird problem - when i'm using soldering wick to clean BGA balls under CPU or PCH on motherboard my tips(different types) getting oxidized very fast and lost all power.
    i Was trying different types of wick, flux - no difference. I can't even clean one full socket and i need to use deoxidizer in half-time.
    Temperature: 350-365celsius
    station: jbc cd-2bqe
    Wick: edsyn
    flux: warton hf rework jelly
    Do you have any tips?

    While get it to wick, use big wide flat tip which allow you to lower tip temperature due to biger surface of heat transfer. Otherwise, use preheater, heatgun, and also lower the tip temperature in order to prevent excess tip oxidation.

        Maybe you got El Cheapo tips or a way too small tip. That will do it too.

          350 sounds o.k. for temp,
          i suspect it's the flux doing it.
          you need to clean and tin the tip a lot if your using braid - it's a common issue

          i presume your using a blade style tip so contact area wont be an issue either.
