"ImAG finishes have a 12-month shelf life in a controlled environment

(<35[degrees]C/<85[degrees] RH), which can be significantly shortened

when exposed to air pollution with high sulfur and chlorine content.

Silver embrittlement Embrittlement



A general set of phenomena whereby materials suffer a marked decrease in

their ability to deform (loss of ductility) or in their ability to

absorb energy during fracture (loss of toughness), with little change in

other mechanical properties, such  ([Ag.sub.3]Sn intermetallics) of

solder joints may occur when the finish thickness exceeds IPC-4553

recommendations and Pb-free, high silver content solders are used. ImAG

is not recommended for high-reliability assemblies that must meet

IPC-6010 Class 3 requirements, but is acceptable for Classes 1 and 2."

 Hi Vlad,

I cannot comment on your specific case, but look at the pics below to

see 

Ag-embrittlement.

Sorry 'Netters, IPC strips pics.
