I have experience in this. My company offers Lead free SMT and Wave soldering. I have processed ImSn, ImAg, Enig, OSP in both smt and wave. Yes, silver leaching will occur. Yes, copper leaching will occur. High tin content solders disolve everyt

Hi Ken, Our product is consumer, although our product is sold on it's reliability. We run a low volume high mix throughput. Any ideas on timescale for the Ag leaching? Sounds like it could be a safer bet to use Imm Sn boards with the Sn/Cu/Ni bar w

We are concerned about the issues you mentioned and more, however we have no option but to change over due to legislation. A high percentage of our market share is in Europe and Japan, who of course have already embraced the no-lead change. We simply

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

we manufacture a range of ceramic parts that have silver termination,there is already a small leaching problem (absorption of the termination by the solder in liquid form)with Sn62 that we live with, having to implement unleaded solder they are norma

Short answer: Yes. Depending on the application of the conductive ink, suppliers select different mesh for the silver particles. So, you should follow your supplier's recommendations for printing, for instance: Conductive Ink||PI-2000 Highly Condu

Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed at the interface of two different metals, whose atoms have an extremely high natural attraction for each other, so high, that they do not bond to other elements by any other means. Also, intermetalic compo

First, responding to your question � Several things on copper dissolution in solder are: * A 50um copper wire will dissolve in 60Sn / 40Pb solder at: - 200�C solder in 55 seconds; - 250�C solder in 20 seconds; - 300�C solder in 5 seconds; - 350�C so

everything else EXACTLY the same? meaning exact same product number from the same manufacturer same fluxes used in the paste? no additional no clean "touchup" or hand soldering operations? No expert by any means but it would seem odd to me that the

Teh amount of silver on an immersion silver board won't effect 62/36/2 tin/lead/silver solder, however if the silver on the board is on the thick side and you have a high trace silver content in a 63/37 tin/lead then with the combination of the two y
