EDS wouldn't be able to pick it up. ICP was the right tool Vladimir SENTEC Testing Laboratory Inc. 11 Canadian Road, Unit 7.

We aren't questioning the measurement technique. Samples from other equipment were tested at the same time with no anomalies noted. Repeated testing of the questionable equipment were also consistent.

XRF or SEM/EDX. "X" -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David R1 Nelson Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 2:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Ni in Eutectic SnPb solder We have come upon a situation where the trace element Ni is above the J-STD-001D threshold for an assembly wave solder machine with a reading of 0.015% to 0.020%. I'd like to know if anyone has experience or knows of any studies done to determine the impact of this higher limit on the products produced using this equipment. All advice/references would be appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
