Ryan,

Unless I am totally missing something from your response,  the issue is not
how long the solder is in contact with the Au or Pd but how long is the NI in
contact with the solder.  I'm not trying to take issue with your response,
but I think the issue is what is the solderability of the Ni and how good of
a solder joint have you made to the NI.
