For example, Silicon, copper and FRP may require slightly different process adjustments for optimal results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-755a2869 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"755a2869\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"cutting\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14830222 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"14830222\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca31f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca31f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Electronic Components Cutting Tips<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60da0216 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"60da0216\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b048f5c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5b048f5c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75d1027b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"75d1027b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f09fb63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f09fb63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Abrasive-Cutting-Tips-for-Aluminum-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19684\" alt=\"Abrasive Cutting Tips\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Abrasive-Cutting-Tips-for-Aluminum-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Abrasive-Cutting-Tips-for-Aluminum-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Abrasive-Cutting-Tips-for-Aluminum-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Abrasive-Cutting-Tips-for-Aluminum.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a980b10 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a980b10\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eb4c9b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7eb4c9b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All sectioning should be performed wet, with an ample flow of <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/coolant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coolant<\/a> directed into the cut. Wet cutting will produce a smoother surface finish than a dry cut. Using coolant will also guard against surface damage caused by overheating and mechanical strains. Reducing damage while sectioning is important. Mechanical damage, such as fractures can penetrate deep into the structure and make later preparation steps longer. There are two main types of cutting tools offered: Abrasive and Precision.<br \/><br \/>Aggressive sectioning can cause mechanical and thermal damage and should be avoided. Due to this, abrasive sectioning is generally not recommended. Precision sectioning results in excellent cut surface quality and can be used to section close to the target area.

Precision blades don&#8217;t break down as they are being used. On the outer edge of the blade there is a section where abrasive has been bonded with metal alloy and if taken care of one wafering blade can outlast a box of abrasive blades. Wafering blades can be used with copper for more difficult cuts including making a precise cut close to a feature of interest, or when it is critical to reduce the width of a cut (kerf loss).<\/p><p>Additional benefits of using a precision cutter are a lower load is applied and consequently, less heat is generated, reducing the amount of damage.<\/p><p>Abrasive blades are also made for precision cutters. They can be used in cases where the potential for breaking a blade is high, such as when a part is difficult to clamp, likely to shift during sectioning or there is high variability in the process

during the subsequent steps of metallographic preparation and examination. Intricately shaped samples can be mounted to create uniform shapes allowing automation of the sample preparation process.<\/p><p>Mounting samples also protects and preserves edges or surface defects during metallographic preparation. The method of mounting should in no way alter the microstructure of the specimen. Pressure and heat are the most common sources of injurious effects. Temperatures around 350<sup>o<\/sup>F and pressures around 4000 PSI are common for hot compression mounting.<\/p><p>Sample geometry and properties can determine the appropriate method for mounting electronic components. A good quality low viscosity epoxy system such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/products\/mounting\/accessories-consumables\/epoxy-mounting-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EpoxiCure<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> or Epo-Thin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is recommended.<\/p><p>Careful selection can ensure media meets mounting needs regarding timing, viscosity, temperature, and shrinkage. Acrylic systems can increase throughput with quick curing times between 5 and 30 minutes. However acrylic systems are not recommended due to their lower levels of sample adhesion and infiltration. Epoxy systems are the recommended mounting media for electronic components. With lower viscosities and longer working times mixed epoxy can be used with a vacuum system to help penetration levels in intricate geometries.<\/p><p>These small features and intricate geometries can make infiltration difficult. Incomplete infiltration can lead to pores which can complicate analysis leading to errors in measurement. When working with EpoxiCure or EpoThin heating the resin to 40<sup>o<\/sup>C in an oven prior to mixing can lower the viscosity and increase infiltration. Pouring under a 22-24 inHg vacuum and cycling samples under vacuum multiple times in short intervals of time, approximately 60 seconds, can also help infiltration of epoxy systems. This cycling can be automated using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/products\/mounting\/castable-mounting\/simplivac-vacuum-mounting-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SimpliVac vacuum system<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2aeacf2e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2aeacf2e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"gp\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-257944d0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"257944d0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22bab374 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"22bab374\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Electronic Components Grinding &amp; Polishing Tips for All Methods<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-137e7b03 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"137e7b03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6022b89e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6022b89e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb8cb12 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cb8cb12\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37e51ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"37e51ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Aluminum-Grinding-Polishing-Tips-for-all-Methods-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19690\" alt=\"Aluminum Grinding and Polishing Tips for all Methods\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Aluminum-Grinding-Polishing-Tips-for-all-Methods-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Aluminum-Grinding-Polishing-Tips-for-all-Methods-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Aluminum-Grinding-Polishing-Tips-for-all-Methods-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Aluminum-Grinding-Polishing-Tips-for-all-Methods.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-640cda77 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"640cda77\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40cd0716 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40cd0716\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When electronic components contain nonferrous metal and polymers that are the focus then the final polishing step completed should be a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/masterprep-suspension-32-oz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MasterPrep<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> step. Alumina is also better when looking at non-reactive materials like nickel, and gold.<\/p><p>If silicon is being analyzed any grinding done should start with abrasive size no larger than 600 grit. Due to its hard and brittle nature using abrasive larger than 600 grit can lead to significant impact damage. Colloidal silica suspension, like <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/mastermet-polishing-suspension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MasterMet<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, is better suited to silicon materials and should be used for the final step of the polishing procedure.<\/p><p>Some other materials that colloidal silica is also better suited for are samples like glass, oxides, aluminum, and copper. If Interface analysis is the goal then, fine diamond for the final polishing steps may provide clarity over the oxides.<\/p><p>When eutectic or near eutectic lead solder is of interest the general method below can be used with one slight change.

application is assessed to find the scale that meets all needs and standards. At Buehler, our equipment supports hardness testing using four scales: Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop. Depending on the information required and the standards to meet, the required scale can change. The table to the side lists several good reference materials for testing methods. In the case of electronic components being smaller in size, Vickers and Knoop testing are common.<\/p><p>The surface finish of the specimen; flatness and scratches could hinder software auto-measuring indents. To reduce uneven surface finish, ensure that the samples are flat before starting the polishing process.<\/p><p>Testing electronic components can be difficult because of differences in reflectance between constituents. Good contrast is important when taking indent measurements. Lighting adjustments may be required for each constituent. Some hardness testing software such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/products\/hardness-testing\/automation-software\/diamet-hardness-testing-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DiaMet Full-automatic<\/a> have settings to allow automated illumination and focus for each indent made.<\/p><p>Indent tips may be hidden or obscured within pores and cracks. Ceramic constituents are especially susceptible to this. One way to abate these effects when indenting is to use a lighter load. Lighter loads not only decrease the chances of cracking but also allow for the targeting of smaller areas of material. Configure equipment with a 100x objective when measuring indents 20 microns or smaller. Air entrapped within the resin used for mounting could form pores. Pores should be avoided when testing.<\/p><p>Automation and documentation levels are based on the scale used. If automation is needed the different levels of DiaMet available with a tester should be discussed. Adding automation to testing processes can help to increase throughput of analysis systems and repeatability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\"
