Introduction
Parts for high-tech applications have to meet strict cleanliness requirements. In many cases, this means that no or very minimal numbers of stains/discolourations may be present on a part.
In order to deliver parts that meet the prescribed cleanliness requirements, it is very important that employees (operators/cleaners/mechanics) have knowledge of the processes that can cause stains or discolourations, how to recognise these stains or discolourations and especially how to try to prevent them. It is also important that operators understand the effect that staining/discolouration can have on the part or application. Finally, knowledge of the ways in which stains or discolourations can be tried to remove in some cases, is important.
Content
This course provides an overview of various types of stains and discolourations, possible causes for the occurrence of stains or discolourations, ways to prevent the occurrence of stains or discolourations and an overview of ways to remove some stains or discolourations.
During the course, practical exercises will be made in assessing stains (including UV light and bright light) and ways to remove stains. Active participation is expected from the course participants!
Topics:
- What are stains and discolourations?
- What is allowed and not allowed on products?
- Types of stains/discolourations and their causes
- Measuring/assessing stains/discolourations (including a demonstration of performing Visual Inspection)
- Reducing/preventing stains/discolourations in practice (including demonstration handling of clean gloves)
- Removing stains/discolourations
For whom is this course interesting
This course is extremely suitable for operators/cleaners/assembly mechanics who are involved in the cleaning or assembly of clean products in their daily practice. It is a practice-oriented course in which the staining problem is explained with many practical examples.
This course is suitable for operators/cleaners/assemblers from various disciplines, semiconductor, analytical, automotive, optical, medical, nuclear, defence, electronics, where contamination-sensitive processes are applied to metal surfaces (vacuum processes, coating processes, PVD, CVD, ALD, soldering, gluing or heat treatments).
Language
The course materials are in Dutch, the course can be given in Dutch, English or German.
