Teddington, UK -- David Hillman and Doug Pauls will present a class on “Crafting a Lead-Free Solder Process” at the National Physical Laboratory on June 21. The course covers the necessary elements to develop a robust, high-reliability, Pb-free manufacturing process.
Hillman is a metallurgical engineer in the Advanced Operations Engineering Department of Rockwell Collins. Pauls is a principal materials and process engineer, working on troubleshooting current manufacturing process and development of new materials and processes.
Topics will include: the metallurgy of Pb-free; finish on boards and components; effects on organic materials from higher reflow temperatures – laminates, solder masks, adhesives, fluxes, process aids; assembly equipment considerations; cleaning of Pb-free residues; testing for residues; reliability testing and case studies; process characterization and qualification; environmental waste stream considerations.
To sign up for the course, contact Roger Hughes, Roger.Hughes@npl.co.uk.

TORONTO -- A top executive at Celestica Inc. on Monday suggested to an investor conference that a large acquisition is possible in the company's future.
Celestica treasurer Paul Nicoletti said the EMS firm sees "pretty sizable" opportunities, telling the audience, "I would say right now the opportunities, call it organic-slash-acquisition, are as high now as they've been over the last couple of years."
