What is electrostatic coating?It is a coating method that uses a high voltage electrostatic field to cause negatively charged paint particles to move in the opposite direction of the field and adsorb the paint particles on the surface of the workpiece. A thicker coating can be obtained in a single application. Spraying equipment consists of
PCB corrosion is a major cause of electronic product failure. Initially the effect of corrosion is to increase the resistance of the copper traces on the board, but as the level of corrosion increases, the PCB becomes less efficient or even stops working. Corrosion is an oxidizing process that occurs when oxygen combines with metal,
Applying a metallic/organic coating to bare pads is called surface finishing. The surface finish protects the copper pads from scratches and oxidation while promoting soldering in the reflow oven. While there are several types of surface finishes, ENIG vs ENEPIG are the two common types. Manufacturers typically use them on ceramic PCBs, flex boards, and
In the manufacturing process of electronic products, flux, as an important soldering auxiliary material, plays a key role in connecting electronic components with circuit boards.
