90 Knoop. Q2: Thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2: This looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. [IPC-4552 ENIG specification: * Gold thickness of 0.075 - 0.125

You might consider to contact a lab to Run a microindenter against a know good soft gold sample. The knoop value for the soft gold will be much lower than for hard gold. This would be reflected in the diameter measurement of the indented samples.Smal

You can't find a hardness spec for immersion gold [ImAu] because no one cares. The ImAu dissolves into the solder during thermal processing. Pressed, I'd guess for that ImAu hardness is about that of soft gold * Soft: 50-90 knoop * Hard: 130-200 k

You're correct. The units should be micro inches. By the by, this gold always should be a hard gold (99.96%-99.97% pure) with a Knoop hardness range of 130 to 200 (optimum 170).

I would like to know the hardness figures of ENIG finish and hard gold finish. I can find the hard gold finish number and it appears to be 130-200 knoop. But what about ENIG finish?
