Although soldering is one of the oldest know joining techniques, manual or hand soldering is still a process highly dependent upon individual operator skill. And, while soldering and rework have become increasingly automated, we nevertheless operate in an imperfect world, and defects in the mass soldering process will occur. Thus, the importance of using techniques that provide high-quality results, while exposing the solder connection to the least stress, continues to ...

It's not unusual for circuit boards that have been fabricated to require additional milling to reduce that thickness in certain areas. This milling is nominally completed by the circuit board fabricator prior to board assembly. Usually, this milling is done to allow the installation of face-plates, bezels, or the insertion of the circuit board into a card slot without restriction. Occasionally, the milling operation is either missed, or not milled to the desired thickness. We have often been asked to perform the milling operation on assembled ...

New research describes for the first time several unique properties of materials known as phase-switching liquids, that hold promise as next-generation anti-icing materials. Researchers say these phase-switching liquids can delay ice and frost formation up to 300 times longer than state-of-the-art coatings being developed ...
