Why to preheat before PCBA processing

Why to preheat before PCBA processing
The importance of temperature distribution in PCB processing and welding environment in mass production has been widely understood The slow heating and preheating phases help to start the flux, prevent thermal shock and improve the quality of solder joints during SMT placement However, when it comes to rework, prototype design, or PCBA first artICle proofing project, it is easy to forget the importance of the warm-up phase. Even if the equipment is not damaged, it may also lead to equipment damage So, for this important step, why is it often forgotten in the actual operation of SMT processing plants? What are the consequences of omitting this stage?
Reflow soldering preheating zone
What was the previous preheating for PCBA welding?
When technicians and practitioners hear the words "temperature curve" or "temperature curve", they will think of smt reflow. The four main temperature control zones can be easily seen along the huge length of the weld zone, which will eventually produce a perfect weld joint, hopefully. Carefully control and improve each stage through the experience and repeated tests of scientific and technical personnel. Each stage plays a role in improving the quality of solder joints and reducing defects. But other industrial welding machines may not have such fine temperature control. But what they have in common is the warm-up phase.
Flux Combustion in Selective Wave Soldering

The function of preheating stage is to steadily increase the temperature of the whole assembly from room temperature to a holding temperature lower than the melting point of solder paste (about 150 ℃). Adjust the temperature change to maintain a constant slope of several degrees per second. After the preheating phase is the soaking phase, which will maintain the temperature for a period of time to ensure that the circuit board is heated evenly. Then the reflow phase begins to form solder joints. During preheating and soaking, the volatile solvent in the solder paste is burned off and the flux is started.
