[Waverley ARS] Dangers of lead free solder??

[Eric van de Weyer]

Hi Simon,

I have certainly heard about it before as one of the problems with lead free
soldering during some research I did into RoHS at work a year or two ago.

Another problem with LF soldering is the much tighter temperature
constraints required for making satisfactory joints.

Hi

Does anyone know if this recent article on the problems that can result 
from using lead free solder is a realistic one? See
