Baking boards to remove moisture takes a lot more energy than you'd think. Following on with this, Chris Hunt from NPL gave a presentation at IPC APEX 2012 about the results of his research ["Impedance Testing for Sensitivity to Delamination in Print

Post-reflow delamination is almost always caused by entrapped moisture. Here's more from the fine SMTnet Archives ... http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=64774 As Graham Cooper suggests in an earlier posting on this thread, ba

First, we know that MIL types are wont to use charts like that. Give �em Weibull distribution tables and then they�ll be happy, happy. A good book is Nelson �Accelerated Testing: Statistical Models �� Wiley Second, we don�t use that very nice stu
