"bright" Stannum

[blacknomi]

Hi,

When you use "bright" to modify "Sn", what does that mean?

thanks.

I'm not sure this is what you're after, but 'bright Sn' means a bright supernova;. ;-)

PS- Stannum, I've just learned, is a name for the metal 'tin'. I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by this question. :lol:

 

[Tdol]

Sn is also the name for the element 'tin', so would 'bright' just mean 'shiny'? ;-)

I also think that "shiny" would be better with "tin".

It had me very confused. ;-)

I should've given more information.

It's a translation task, something about Lead-Free Products. I don't know where is the author from. I DON'T understand his English. No verb and no grammar. :evil: :twisted:

Question 1
SnCu plating is known to be a high risk for Sn whisker growth and should be avoided when possible (bright Sn is the highest risk and not acceptable for use in Dell products without consent).


Question 2
What is "Tin Whisker Risk Matrix"?

BTW, the author also mentioned semi-bright Sn in his research. What is "semi-shiny"?

50% dark and 50% shiny. Sounds weird to me. :roll:
