TechNetters,
Along with Helen Holder of HP we hare leading the resurrected and
changed 3-11g IPC committee.  Here is our new charter:

This Task Group will gather data on corrosion of metals used in
electronic assemblies with the intent to establish a long-term
predictive test method and model. The conditions of the current 'mixed
flowing gas' corrosion resistance test method are unable to predict
product life and reproduce failure mechanisms in real world
environments.  The need for a new or modified test method is also
prompted by the increasingly corrosive environments to which electronics
are being subjected. 

 NOTE: The corrosive environments to be studied by this group will focus
on gaseous-based corrosion (gases, moisture vapor and particulate matter
suspended in the atmosphere).  Strictly solid-solid and solid-liquid
contact mechanisms will not be addressed as causes of corrosion by this
task group, at this time.

We are looking for participants with mixed flowing gas chambers that
would like to join our effort.  If you are so inclined, please contact
myself, Helen or Tom.

Regards,
Bev Christian
RIM
