Subject: [TN] Aluminum and Halogenated Fluorocarbons

Happy Hump-day Techies,

 

Sorry this is not really a PCB assembly question but I know someone out there will have some insight on this topic.  What is the mechanism behind the violent reaction between aluminum and halogenated fluorocarbons?  Does the reaction occur spontaneously at room temperature?  What conditions are required for the reaction to occur (pressure, temperature, etc?)

 

Any insight would be appreciated.
