That is correct, but only to a point. If something is, in fact, physically measureable, then it pertains to a real fact or a real relational finding. If the measurement is based on a hypothesis as yet disproven, then the derived measurement is not a real fact. If you tell me you know, for a fact, something based on a hypothetical method of measurement (an implied result), then I can just as safely assume that you are full of radioactive isotopes from the planet Beryl. Well, you folks wanted to keep this string going, so I have done my part. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Vladimir Igoshev Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 12:31 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] ENEPIG Question?

Jeffrey, Pd also dissolves into the joint, and again you are forming an intermetallic with the nickel.

Hi All, Quick question, with an ENIG finish, I know the gold dissolves into the joint and we solder to the Ni. But what about ENEPIG? I'm assuming the Au will dissolve, but what happen with the Pd? Does it stay put or also dissolve into the joint? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, -Jeffrey Jeffrey A.
