masterclass "surface cleanliness after edm"

This masterclass subject is to comply with GSA surface cleanliness requirements: how to reach ASML grade 1 / grade 2 requirements after wire EDM. Using GSA079910 as a guideline, Ter Hoek uses two strategies to comply and reach ≤1 wt% of combined traces Cu, Ag, and Au on the part surface after Wire EDM. Mohamed Ali, Technical Sales Manager at Ter Hoek, shares advantages and disadvantages of both strategies. Including product examples including challenges of the given product.Click on the link below to find out more about this on-demand masterclass:
