Standard Rework Protocol
1.Nonconformance Identification
Failed components undergo ASTM B117 salt spray testing (72hrs minimum)
2. Full-Strip Reprocessing
Certified stripping using EN 12540-compliant chemical baths
Three-stage ultrasonic cleaning (DI water > Alkaline > Acidic)
3. Re-plating Verification
Cross-section microscopy to validate base metal integrity
Adhesion testing per ISO 2819 (≥8MPa required)
Unapproved Shortcut Practice
Illegitimate Process Flow:
Contravenes RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Article 4(1)
Latent Defect Characteristics:
Initial QA screening passes standard 240hr NSS testing
Accelerated failure occurs under:
85°C/85%RH thermal humidity cycling (IEC 60068-2-30)
90 days marine atmosphere exposure (ISO 9223 CX class)
Case Study: Hamburg Port Incident
Parameter | Specification | Field Condition |
Temperature | 25°C max | 58°C (Container black box data) |
Relative Humidity | 60% RH max | 98% RH sustained |
Chloride Deposition | 0.3mg/m²/day | 2.1mg/m²/day |
| Exposure Duration | 30-day limit | 117 days |
Failure Mechanism:
Subsurface corrosion initiated at stripped micro-cracks (SEM-EDS analysis confirmed Cl⁻ penetration depth >500μm)
Corrective Actions
Implement AS5553 counterfeit parts prevention protocol
Mandatory 1000hr extended salt spray testing for marine applications
Establish electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) monitoring
