Examples

“Fatigue or cracking due to cyclic loading of the overplate is influenced by its thickness.”

“Although a minimum 30 micro-inch Au layer is the normal connector contact⟳ overplate thickness, a 30 micro-inch layer of nickel-palladium (Ni/Pd) with a Au flash⟳ has been reported resistant to both and hydrogen BGA”

“The next phase is to adapt a wax sheet to fit against the vertical flange of the stage⟳, so forming an overplate.”

“The once near-surface rocks will be relatively more oxidised, so that the fluids will tend⟳ to oxidise the overplate and, consequently will not precipitate silica but rather dissolve it.”
