Most often, dull solder joints (post cleaning) is a result of the cleaning chemical. Most (not all) modern cleaning chemicals are equipped with corrosion inhibition agents which prevent dulling. Check with your chemical supplier to see if your specif

That is interesting, I have not seen that as a requirement before. From what I read if it is less than 7 wt% the corrosion resistance is pretty low, but if the value is too high it indicates that "black pad" is present from nickel corrosion. From wha

Dull / shiny, I�m not sure that�s a proper indicator. If �Liquid Tin� adds a thin coat of solderable material without converting the corrosion on the surface of the lead, the corrosion will [probably] continue to increase and potentially affecting t

Our DI system has a carbon cylinder and a mixed bed cylinder. This is from the Mfgr website: "The Technical Devices' Nu/Clean Recirculating Water Deionizing System is engineered to remove all organics, chemicals, and heavy metals via particle

I wonder if they are concerned about getting chemicals trapped in the tented vias. If the tented vias have pin hole openings or even larger openings, chemicals from the ENIG process could become entrapped in the via holes and not washed away in the

This sounds like a form of corrosion called electromigration. It creates cathode anodic filaments. They have a fern like shape because it is a metallic based crystal structure. Electromigration requires: * Difference of electrical potential * Chemica

I just got a report from MacDermid on Solder Mask Interface Attack Issue (SMIA) with Sterling Silver Process. Corrosive chemicals in the ImAg process get trapped under the soldermask edge and eat at the copper trace. They are experimenting with diffe
