Good luck, indeed.

Werner,
Just by your answer to Inge, it proves you are still a sound and practical guy.
Probably always will be, provided you don't get overheated on the golf course
while the rest of us work to keep our jobs.
I had to do a lot of work on this issue while working for Honeywell, and I found
out (painfully) that the weight percentage approach alone does not
prove/disprove a gold embrittlement issue will or will not occur. It can happen
with as little as 1% gold by volume.
There are many other factors involved, including the shape of the SJs.
And all, once again, remember this is a time-variable phenomena. Nucleation of
gold through the SJ takes time. Soldering of gold-plated leads to a circuit
board and then performing immediate pull-testing means nothing.
This is the reason that paragraph 3.9.3 of J-STD-001D states what it does. And
if you need to build Space product (per J-STD-001DS), the rules are even more
stringent; you cannot solder any part containing any amount of gold on the
solderable portion of the leads, it must be removed. The only exception is if
you can prove with "documented objective evidence available for review that
there are no gold-related solder embrittle
ment problems associated with the
soldering process being used."
Good luck with that.

Hi Inge,
No 'used to be-—I think I still am.
If you read my resposes you find that I do not think much of this wt-%
approach—and it has nothing to do with the impracticality of it after the fact.

Werner,
You use to be a sound and practical guy. How on earth can you decide the
volume %-age of the Au brittle phase content in solder joints. Only way is
chemical analysis of some kind, but how do you know then the weight % of
respective AuSn phase?

Hi Inge,
How on earth did you find this gem?
Not only does it say all that needs to be said to avoid Au-embrittlement,
but it also points=2
0out the misgivings about
ENIG which certainly have been experienced by many.
Too bad, we have not heard from the 'Moon Man' in years—thank god we still
get 'tuppence' from Brian.

Hi Jon - the folks from Lockheed published a very good article on the
impact of gold on solder joints including the calculations/material
parameters/graphs that would be useful to you. Pull a copy of this
article: "Effects of Gold Diffusion on a Near Eutectic Solder Joint", S.
Enwright, Electronic Packaging & Production, June 1998, pp 68-72. Good
Luck.
