You
can test Au hardness on ceramic substrates but I've never had much success doing
hardness testing of Au/Ni/Cu on epoxy glass laminate boards. Background
substrates are to soft and inconsistent to get reliable/repeatable readings or
meaningful results.

Hi all,
I have 2 questions for
electroplated soft gold.
1) Recommendations on reliable outside
service
2) Is anyone doing hardness test on circuit brd itself.
How reliable is that ?
Thanks in advance.
