Reliability Assessment Of Self-Alignment Assemblies Of Chip Component After Reflow Soldering Process

Reliability of surface mount components and interconnect are significant issues in electronic manufacturing. Although the reliability of devices has been broadly studied,here we are focusing on the reliability of the solder joint after the self-alignment phenomena during reflow soldering.In this study,the quality of the self-alignment assemblies was analyzed relate to the joint shear strength according to the JIS Z3 198-7 standard and the inspection according to IPC-A-610E standard.The results from reliability study indicate that the shear strength of the misalignment component of solder joints indeed depends on the degree of chip component misalignment.For shift mode configuration in the range of 0-300µm,the resulted chip assembly inspection after the reflow process was in line with the IPC-A-610E standard

Risk Assessment of Wave Energy Converter At Kuantan Port, Pahang

Harvesting energy from ocean waves remains an untapped resource, and it is considered a new methodology in renewable energy, especially in Malaysia. This research is based on a project at Kuantan Port that used Wave Energy Converter (WEC) as a platform to generate energy from waves and convert it into electricity. The purpose of this research is to conduct a risk assessment before the execution of the project by referring to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31000 and Risk Management Guidelines: Companion to AS/NZS 4360:2004. It started from risk identification and planned a mitigation way to reduce the grade of risk. These mitigations will be monitored throughout the project to avoid any accidents or harm during construction and installation in the future. The assessment will be using a qualitative analysis method that will gather all the possible risks that impact the project and propose the actions to mitigate the risk. The assessment will also consider the likelihood, seriousness, and weightage to determine the risk level. The risk assessment is divided into six clusters: project management, hydrography, mechanical, electrical, civil, and safety and security. After analysis, each cluster has given their feedback on the risk assessment and their cluster-s risk grade. This research has found that the risk grade is at grade C, which needs the risk assessment of this project to reduce the likelihood, seriousness, and required mitigation actions. Eventually, after the mitigation plan is applied to each risk, the grade of risk is reduced to N

Pengawalan pertumbuhan sebatian antara logam sambungan pateri-papan litar bercetak menggunakan salutan nikel

Bahan aloi pateri dalam kumpulan Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) merupakan bahan pematerian yang bebas plumbum digunakan secara meluas dalam industri elektronik. Antarasambungan pateri bertindak untuk menghubungkan komponen elektronik pada papan litar bercetak (PCB). PCB memainkan peranan yang penting dalam tindak balas pematerian dan mikrostruktur antarasambungan pateri-substrat seterusnya mempengaruhi kebolehharapan suatu sambungan pateri. Pes pateri Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu (SAC0307) dipaterikan pada tiga jenis PCB iaitu PCB tanpa salutan (PCB/Cu) sebagai sampel kawalan, PCB dengan salutan timah (PCB/Sn) dan PCB dengan salutan nikel (PCB/Ni). Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kesan salutan permukaan PCB ke atas pertumbuhan sebatian antara logam (IMC) selepas uji kaji penuaan sesuhu yang berbeza selama 1000 jam. Keputusan menunjukkan purata ketebalan lapisan IMC ~ 5.7 μm serta kadar pertumbuhan lapisan IMC yang paling rendah adalah selari dengan tenaga pengaktifan tertinggi dengan salutan Ni iaitu 41 kJ/mol berbanding PCB/Cu dan PCB/Sn. Ini bermakna salutan Ni pada PCB mampu mengawal pertumbuhan IMC sehingga lebih kurang 40% berbanding salutan Sn dan tanpa salutan

Characteristic airflow patterns during inspiration and expiration: experimental and numerical investigation

A simplified experimental nasal model was designed and an experimental setup was developed to facilitate both inspiratory and expiratory flow measurements. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and resistance measurements were conducted. The purpose of this work was primarily to demonstrate a simple way of carrying out experiments for a replica human nose in order to validate numerical studies. The characteristic recirculatory patterns observed explicitly as a consequence of inspiration and expiration were investigated. The resistance study showed similar patterns of resistance for both experimental and numerical results for various flow rates. The PIV results showed that inspiratory and expiratory flows had characteristic flow patterns that can be distinguished based on their recirculatory flow patterns

Soldering Characteristics And Thermomechanical Properties Of Pb-Free Solder Paste For Reflow Soldering

A deep understanding in thermal characteristics of lead-free solder paste grades is one of the most crucial factors when dealing with reflow soldering process. These temperatures are critical parameters for proper settings of the real reflow process. This report is devoted to discussing the findings obtained during utilization of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and calculation using MATLAB to identify the latent heat, solidus and liquidus temperature, and surface tension applicable to numerically simulate the real process of reflow soldering. It can be stated that the equilibrium solidus and liquidus temperatures during solidification process are not a reversal of the melting process, with the solid phase equilibrium occurred at a lower temperature due to the difficulty of ß-Sn nucleation. Amount of heat energy released during solidification differs less than 10% for SAC405 and less than 1% for SAC105 with the latent heat of fusion during the melting process

Intensified equipment for producing high purity mtbe

MTBE is produced from reaction between isobutene and methanol . HP MTBE is obtained from purification of industrial grade MTBE to purity of ≥ 99.7 wt% . HP MTBE is used in agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and chemical intermediates. Industrial grade MTBE contain contaminants i.e., isobutene, tertiary butanol, methanol, methyl sec-butyl ether or water. Analysis of 11 components in IG MTBE founds 41 azeotropes. 7 related to MTBE. Few options to break azeotrope i.e., pressure swing distillation, extractive distillation, membrane etc. These approaches are however complex

An in vivo biocompatible study of antimicrobial biocomposite membrane: preliminary outcome

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a surgical procedure that uses barrier membranes to treat bony defects. The membrane plays an important role in proper bone regeneration. A triple-layered membrane containing poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) matrix with bioactive apatite filling and lauric acid (LA), which is a naturally derived antimicrobial substance is one of the examples of membrane used. Critical Size Defect (CSD) is an experimental method in evaluating the effectiveness of newly developed biomaterials to stimulate bone formation before clinical application. New Zealand White Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are commonly used rabbits for laboratory research and industry toxicology studies. By using the CSD technique in the New Zealand White Rabbit, this study seeks to investigate the biocompatibility and new bone growth potential of the bio composite membrane through in vivo analysis

Influence of sintering temperature on the structural, electrical and microwave properties of yttrium iron garnet (YIG)

This study investigates the structural, electrical and microwave properties of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) which focuses on the parallel evolving relationship with their dependence on the sintering temperature. The iron oxide obtained from the steel waste product (mill scale) was used to synthesize YIG. The raw mill scale underwent the milling and Curie temperature separation technique to produce high purity iron oxide powder which is the main raw material in preparing and fabricating YIG through high energy ball milling (HEBM) process. Microstructural features such as amorphous phase, grain boundary, secondary phase and intergranular pores contribute significantly to the additional magnetic anisotropy and demagnetizing fields, affecting the electric and microwave properties accordingly. The increment in electrical resistivity and decrement in linewidth while the microstructure was evolving is believed to be a strong indicator of improved phase purity and compositional stoichiometry
