Can I remove soldered atmega328P from arduino board, using hot air gun, without damaging it? I need to remove atmega328P from arduino board and the best tool what comes up to my mind is a hot air gun. What is the maximum temperature that atmega328P can withstand?
web search reveals the peak reflow temperature is 260°C

the chip will withstand that for 15 seconds or so

here is an example graph of a reflow oven temperature during the reflow process
