The white lines are isoconcentrates of solute in the liquid. The figures are output of a model which is being developed to analyze reactive wetting of solders on electronic components. These studies are clarifying the interpretation of solderability tests used by the electronics industry. Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory METALLURGY C.A. Handwerker, Chief(cid:13) R.J.
