Depending on the metal and bond to FR4 you may be able to get a better profile if you use conductive heating.(vs standard convection reflow)

Copper Core MCPCB vs. Aluminum Core MCPCB

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 10 15:11:18 EST 2018 | emeto

Copper has CTE of 17 which I think is closer to FR4 than Aluminum - 23, so in this aspect should be better. However, copper oxidizes very easily and is also 3 times heavier.

What is the best method to repair Warped PCBA. Obviuosly twisting it back to make it flat would be a disasterous. The method that I've tried wold be mounting the assembled board to the flat holder with the clamp and bake them at 120 Deg C for about 4

You should specify the level of res based on the effect of the res on the end-use of the product. J-STD-001 defines cleanliness requirements for ALL flux types, including water soluble and no-clean that you mention. 1 There is no equivalency betwee
