Sure, mate, but I had no idea about the application and it's destiny. Suggest a board that has been inactive (not operating)for a long time (stored)and suddenly has to work in 200 Centigrades+. If ordinary board material was used, absorbed humidity may be a problem. That's why I suggested LTCC. But, as I said, too little input for giving real good advice.

Some of the processing parameters wil differ from Normal FR-4 material requirements.

But we had rather few components, most of them ceramics and semis. Just an idea, don't know what kind of equipment you are planning.

Also would this require a different solder? Will solder reflow?
