This document describes systems and techniques of a depth-adaptive mechanism for ball grid array dipping. In an aspect, a depth-adaptive mechanism having a tensioned mesh is positioned in a reservoir filled with flux. When solder balls of an integrated circuit component are dipped into the reservoir of flux, the solder balls are pressed up against the tensioned mesh. The tensioned mesh is configured to, first, elastically deform under the downward force applied by the solder balls and, second, provide an equal and opposite pushing force in order to facilitate solder ball extraction. In so doing, the solder balls of an integrated circuit component can be more easily extracted from flux when deep ball grid array dipping is performed.

A wear-protected substrate includes a substrate and a continuous wear protection layer brazed to the substrate. The continuous wear protection layer includes components having interlocking features that are configured to interlock the components side-by-side to form the continuous wear protection layer.

A hot wind is blown to a land and a lead from the underside of a printed board, to perform preheating. At the start of preheating or after start of preheating, a laser beam is applied to a soldering point, and meanwhile, wire solder is fed to a position contacting with the soldering point. The fed wire solder is melted by the laser beam. After soldering is finished, feeding of the wire solder is stopped. Application of the laser beam is stopped, to solidify the melted solder.

A process of repairing a component includes identifying a void in a component; determining at least one approximate physical configuration of the void; inserting borescope into the component in order to view the void; providing a repair rod approximately equivalent to at least one of the least one approximate physical configuration of the void; inserting the repair rod into component; confirming insertion of the repair rod in the void; separating the repair rod to leave a repair plug in the void; and depositing braze paste over the repair plug in the void.

A method of making a fluid injection component for a gas turbine engine includes depositing material onto a piece of tube stock. The method includes machining an elbow into the deposited material, wherein machining the elbow includes forming a braze joint surface in the deposited material. Depositing can include laser cladding the material onto the piece of tube stock.

An electric component manufacturing device includes a preheater that contacts and preheats a transported work, a melting heater that is downstream of the preheater in a transport direction of the work and contacts and heats the work at a temperature which is higher than a temperature of the preheater and at which a solder melts, a cooler that is downstream of the melting heater in the transport direction and contacts and cools the work, and a transporter that supports and transports the work to sequentially contact the preheater, the melting heater, and the cooler in this order. The transporter performs intermittent transport in which the work is transported from the preheater to the melting heater without stopping to contact both the preheater and the melting heater at the same time, and then the work stops on the melting heater.
