Hi Werner! Ok, so you don't want to read the whole web site! : - ) Here is a more specific link: http://acqp2.nasa.gov/LFS%20Reliability/Rockwell%20Collins%20Inc%20JCAA%20JGPP%20Final%20Report%20neg55C%20to%20pos125C%20testing%20Rev%20B.pdf The shrinkage void data is in the Thermal Cycle individual report (see figure 45, page 33) on shrinkage voids. We ran thermal cycle testing -55C to +125C for 4700+ cycles per IPC-9701 and did not find an occurrence were a shrinkage void caused a failure or acted as a stress riser.

I certainly would not draw any conclusions from this. Coyle's paper deals with gaseous voids, not shrinkage voids. Werner ************** Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
