The issue with wave soldering is that the additional cost of silver and copper will have a large impact on the price of the bar solder used in wave soldering. It is estimated that the lead-free solder bars will cost between 2 and 3 times more depending on the particular alloy selected. Again please consult you solder material supplier.
