Thermal shocks testing

The purpose of thermal shock tests is to determine the ability of components, equipments or other products to withstand rapid changes in ambient temperature. They are very commonly carried out by manufacturers in the electronics sector in order to highlight the weaknesses of the processes. A micrographic and scanning electron microscope failure analysis can be performed in the event of a malfunction to determine the failure mode of the responsible component.
