Ashok, It is most likely not the DI water that is attacking the aluminum rather it is the saponifier. DI water is only in contact with the parts for a relatively short time. If your cleaning process provides for a rapid drying cycle, you should be

Hi All, I am using COB on my DOUBLE SIDED PCB. lastly we used Eletrolytic Ni / Flash Gold Plating. Our Boards vias Failed the UL corrosion Test. we did some cross-section analysis and found 10.75 �m of Nickel and 0.022 um of Gold and as the Process

Hi All, Currently we are producing a LED product using an aluminum core MCPCB with surface mount LEDs. In order to achieve better heat dissipation, we are considering transitioning over to a copper core MCPCB. My experience working with copper cor

9. * Conversion coatings are very nice "paints" that allow other paints to stick to aluminum. Type 1 coatings are thicker than Type 3, which are whisper thin. Alodine 120X (Amchem) and Iridite 14-2 (Allied Research Products) are good conversion coa

I normally handle the soldering issues for this facility but a question was asked of me -- What the H@## is this stuff and what is causing it? Was wondering of I could get some input from any Guru on plating issues. Need info ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You weren�t clear but I assume the problem is not widely distributed and affects only a few parts on each board. Do this trick: * Cut a ~1� piece of fairly serious wire, like 18 or 12 AWG. * Strip the insulation. * Gear-up with gloves, glasses, and
