Soldering, Coating, Cleaning and PCB Process Failures from the Desk of Bob Willis
Mar 25, 2018 | The widest selection of online webinars in the industry has added more titles
Dendrite Failure – Causes & Cures Webinar
Mar 24, 2018 | Dendrite failure on printed circuit board assemblies is quite common but often not investigated fully to pin point the root cause. This is due to the intermittent nature of the failure or just replacing components seems to solve the problem Book at https://www.bobwillis.co.uk/event/dendrite-failure-causes-cures/
Manual Cleaning of Printed Board Assemblies – Step By Step Guide Coming Soon
Oct 23, 2017 | After rework, modification or second stage assembly cleaning may need to be considered. Ideally a no clean flux, gel or solder paste should be used to avoid the need to clean selected areas. If manual cleaning is to be conducted every effort should be made to use materials or application methods that result in the minimum residues from the soldering process
Planning and training staff in manual cleaning is very important to get the best possible result visually and to maintain product reliability. This is one of the first training sessions to cover manual cleaning of board assemblies, highlighting the problems and solutions to manual cleaning
To ensure you are equipped to get maximum benefit from the event, read our Webinar Guide https://www.bobwillis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/WebinarAttendance2017.pdf

Solder Ball Elimination – In Wave, Selective & Reflow Webinar
Feb 05, 2017 | Solder balls and solder beading have been a process issue for many years and they may not cause product failure or quality problems but they are not desirable.

With over 40 years in industry and 30 solving process problems for industry Bob Willis explains the causes and curses for solder balls. Bob’s webinar features many unique process video clips on testing and failures and make his sessions come alive providing a much better understanding of the root cause of failure and corrective action.
