Some lead free solder will begin to melt at 180C, but that's nowhere near a reflow temperature. It depends on the solder that was used really, there are a load of lead free types out there. Between 220C and 260C typically. The temps for Flux activation also depends on the type of Flux being used, that can vary from 78C to 260C.

I was going to say don't quote me on that (was just something I read was a general rule), I figured if I was wrong someone would say someting anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
