Flow soldering is a technique used to bulk solder components onto a printed circuit board. This process is typically used when a single sided [printed circuit board] has a medium to high number of conventional or through-hole components. This process is also often referred to as "wave soldering" because of the wave-like motion the molten solder takes when applied to the [printed circuit board]. The circuit board is passed over a bath of molten solder in which a pump produces an upwelling of solder that looks like a standing wave. As the circuit board makes contact with this wave, the components become soldered to the board. 4, record 1, English, - flow%20soldering

An etching technique characterized by the control of tonal areas that produces an unlimited series of gradations from pale gray to velvety black and a pleasing granular effect. 2, record 2, English, - aquatint
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The medium of aquatint is related to etching, but concerned with areas of tone rather than line. The plate is dusted with powdered asphalt(or resin) ;the coarseness of the grain is determined by the effects desired. The plate is then heated so that the asphalt particles adhere to the copper. The melted asphalt protects the copper when the plate is immersed in the acid bath; only the copper exposed between the asphalt deposits is bitten. The longer the biting, the darker the tonal areas will print. Areas not to be etched are protected("stopped out") with an asphalt varnish. 3, record 2, English, - aquatint

Apparentée à l'eau-forte, l'aquatinte concerne davantage la tonalité que la qualité du trait. La planche de zinc ou de cuivre est recouverte d'une couche de colophane (ou résine) pulvérisée, la grosseur du grain étant déterminée par les effets que l'artiste recherche. La planche est ensuite chauffée pour que la résine se fixe au métal et le protège avant que la planche ne soit plongée dans la cuvette d'acide; seul est alors mordu le métal mis à nu entre les grains de résine. Plus la morsure est longue, plus les tons sont foncés à l'impression. Les parties qui doivent rester blanches sont épargnées au moyen d'un vernis de retouche. 4, record 2, French, - aquatinte

Liquid nitriding(nitriding in a molten salt bath) employs the same temperature range as gas nitriding-that is, 950 ° to 1050 ° F. As in liquid carburizing and cyaniding, the case hardening medium is molten cyanide. Unlike liquid carburizing and cyaniding, however, liquid nitriding is done below, instead of above, the transformation temperature range of the steel being treated. Also, liquid nitriding adds more nitrogen and less carbon to the steel than do cyaniding and carburizing in cyanide baths. 1, record 10, English, - liquid%20nitriding
