Always validate with cross-sectioning and surface elemental analysis for high-sensitivity applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Q2: How do I measure ionic contamination after cleaning?<\/h3>\n<p>A: Ionic contamination can be quantified via ion chromatography after surface extraction or by resistivity\/RO water extraction per IPC-TM-650. Targets depend on product spec; many electronics assemblies aim for &lt; 1 \u03bcg\/cm\u00b2 NaCl equivalent.<\/p>\n<h3>Q3: What is a safe air pressure range for delicate connector blasting?<\/h3>\n<p>A: Start at very low pressures (0.2 MPa \/ ~30 psi) and short pulse durations. Use fixed-distance nozzles and move the nozzle tangentially to avoid direct normal impact which concentrates energy.<\/p>\n<h3>Q4: How often should media be replaced or refreshed?<\/h3>\n<p>A: Replace media when size distribution shifts beyond \u00b115% of initial mean, when visual fracture increases, or when process metrics (Ra, particle capture) drift from the established control limits.
