Elon Musk Biography Conclusion
Folks, Let’s look in on Ivy University Professor Patty Coleman as she chats with John Archer about Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk. “I have to admit, reading about
Using ANOVA to Compare Three or More Solder Pastes for a Metric-Like Transfer Efficiency
An Interview with Professor Patty Coleman. Dr. Ron: Professor Coleman, it has been quite a long time since we last chatted. Professor Patty: I agree, too long! And please, Dr. Ron,call me Patty. DR:
Concern for Intermetallic Thickness Growth in SAC Solder Joints in Harsh Service Environments
Folks, The service temperature for electronics in a modern automobile can be higher than 125C. These high temperatures raise the concern of copper-tin intermetallic growth in solder joints. Often, we
Gallium Uses in Technology
In our modern world gallium is used everywhere, and modern life would be unrecognizable without the benefits it provides. As you are reading this, the nearest gallium (Ga) atoms are most likely found
Cutting out the cutting tool in the PBF process
“When the year 2000 was upon us, books were written and people were philosophizing on what the greatest invention was of the last 1,000 years. And almost all people agreed that the greatest
The Only Way to Demonstrate Zero Defects is to Sample All of the Product
Folks, Let’s look in on a graduate student of Ivy University… John Foster felt very fortunate. Not only did he get his undergraduate degree summa cum laude, but was now a graduate student
On the Road to no Zero km Failures for EV
Eliminating zero km failures is the mantra of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and for good reason —consumers have extremely high expectations of electric vehicles and simply expect that
Selective Soldering: A Collection of Benefits

An introduction to Indium Tri-Chloride
What is indium tri-chloride, and why is it important? Indium tri-chloride (chemical formula InCl3), also referred to as Indium (III) Chloride (since the indium atom is in the +3 oxidation state) is
An introduction to Indium Tri-Chloride
Indium tri-chloride (chemical formula InCl3), also referred to as Indium (III) Chloride (since the indium atom is in the +3 oxidation state) is the most prevalent indium compound after indium
Thixotropy: An Important Solder Paste Property
Folks, To the SMT process engineer, the second most important thixotropic material in their lives is solder paste. If solder paste was not thixotropic, it would be difficult to print and would likely
Starvation Voids: When too little (paste) becomes too much (voiding)
When I was first introduced to QFN voiding, it appeared to be a straightforward issue: outgassing from flux creates pockets of entrapped air causing reliability problems. But I’ve since come to
