Hi Jan - Rockwell and a small consortium of companies are working on a DARPA supported effort to demonstrate a metal surface restoration process called ROSA (Reduced Oxide Soldering Activation)(or Really Obnoxious Soldering Activity if your having a bad day!). This will be a 12 month effort which will show the ability of the ROSA technology to restore PWBS, components and flip chip surfaces after salt fog, sulfur fog, 85/85, and dry baking exposures. There will be an industry day in '97 at the EMPF too. Contact me directly and I can fill you in on the various details.

Does the board manufacturer do it? If yes, how? I'm very interested in any kind of detailed information about this procedure.
