If this is like baseball, I'm batting ,500!!

I am not a chemist, I'm truly sorry if the explanation is not all that
accurate.  But I do manufacture boards, and my chips do not crack.

Can someone then tell me why we bother having a preheat section in the
wave?

Cheers!

Eric

---Sorry, but there is no such condition; different materials will
always 
have a differentiasl thermal expansion, unless they have identical CTEs.

---Quite correct.

is irrelevant.
---Sorry again, but there is no such state; as long as you raise the 
temperature materials will expand, unless they have a negaqtive CTE.
