[TriEmbed] soldering oxidized pins - QFN part

[Alex Davis]

I have a QFN part which shows signs of oxidation on the pins, and I'm
wondering if there's anything I can or should do to clean it up.
Unfortunately, it's an old-stock part, so I can't just get a new one.

I have some photos here of the part:

I am hoping there's enough un-oxidized metal on each leg that the solder
and flux will wet the legs properly. I'll be point soldering a few pins
on each side before drag soldering the rest, so I should be able to
evaluate if it's going to work before committing to soldering the whole
thing.
