Make Lead Free Solder work just like lead solder and yes, it will turn
into gold!

But the real question is can lead-free solder be changed into gold...
fun with chemistry.

Nooo, Joyce is not counterfeiting.  She can do a lot of wonderful lab
stuff, but that is not something she practices at or for RIM.

So that's why Bev has such a large R&D budget: counterfeiting. He has
you turning copper coins into Silver.

Imag is. Chem process.  Control by solution composition, ph, etc.  It is
self limiting. If done properly, it could be on site.  I did plate a
copper coin using just the stuff your vendor mentioned.  However, I did
check conc, ph, temp, surface cleanliness, etc.  Make sure he take the
waste with him if you allow him to set a foot in your plant.  Good luck.

Subject: [TN] Repair to ImAg plating?

Hi everyone,



We have an issue with loss of plating adhesion on some ImAg finished
PCBs.
The affected area is small and consistent in location across the PCBs
with the defect.  All other areas seem to be ok when tested per a tape
test.
The
PCB supplier is proposing to visit and "repair" them here at our site.
I
was not even aware plating could be repaired, let alone away from a PCB
fab shop without plating lines etc.  Is this even possible?  I am very
hesitant, as I very seriously doubt the control and/or quality of the
"repair"
process.  At the very least, how would thickness be controlled?  We
specify micro 5-12 inches in thickness per IPC-4553, and the overall PCB
is to meet
IPC-6012 Class 3.



Anyway, they described the process as follows:



I will send you the solution by Fedex in a small bottle. Once you have
received it, I will come to your facility and repair the boards.  I will
need a hot plate and Pyrex container to heat-up the solution to 120 F.
Do
you have these two items? Otherwise I will bring them with me. I will
clean and repair the boards locally.  Once it is done, I will do the
tape test to make sure the adhesion of the silver is adequate.



My little voice is screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"



Thanks in advance,

Kevin
