How does one determine when (if) a sodium permanganate bath is spent??
Problem: Our previously calibrated [Mil-class] etchback cycles for
various epoxies are now requiring 2-3 cycles; sections show too much
variability from .0005"-.0013"; lots of "gouging" into glass-rich
regions with lowest etchback at the copper interface.
Conditions are as follows:
- All chemistries (solvent swell, permanganate, glass etch) are within
vendor specs.
- NaOH normality: 1.2-1.3
- NaMnO4 concentration: 60-70 g/l
- MnO3 conc. 9 -12 g/l
- S.G.: 1.13
- 180 gal tank with 500A continuous electrolytic regeneration
- swell temp: 175 degF, permanganate temp: 185 degF
Vendor's tech service won't touch this one - if you want to do
chemical etchback "you're on your own"...
Any ideas out there before I dump this bath?
Thanks, Joe Felts
