We are running a selective solder machine using SN100C alloy. We have had J-STD-001 analysis performed every 2 months and our last analysis showed our nickel content at 0.104%. The max allowed is 0.100%. We changed out the pot (only 30 lbs) but I'

Hi, in our company, we had performed a failure analysis on some PCB finishing ENIG faulty, cause detachement of heavy components. So we performed a SEM / EDX analysis on the nickel and we discover a 20 % of carbon instead of the standard 0.04% (on s

Hi, Based on our experience, you can collect X-Ray analysis of solder joints and calculate values of SPC (such as PP/PPK and GR&R). Now, you can find, based on this calculated values, if your production is good or not. Also, this helps you to detect

Mr. Evtimov, Koh Young and Parmi have this option in their SPC software. You can also choose either Volume, Area, position, height (both in um or %). Here is a screenshot from Parmi. Unfortunatelly i cant find my old Koh Young screenshots. Parmi has
