KYZEN's southern regional sales manager, Jason Schwartz, has been selected as one of Production Machining’s 2019 Emerging Leaders.

These 20 professionals under the age of 40 are working hard to improve the future of manufacturing and are specifically blazing trails in the precision machined parts industry, educating students and colleagues along the way. These creative, driven, passionate, innovative and talented individuals are not only opening doors for themselves in their careers, but simultaneously opening doors for younger generations in the industry.

Schwartz has had to learn various cleaning applications for his position at PMPA technical member company KYZEN. His technical background in chemistry, and willingness to help the end-user investigate and resolve cleaning issues has given him a positive reputation among his peers and clients.

Schwartz has traveled long hours at night and on weekends to be at customer sites, forgoing his personal time. He constantly provides technical input to numerous requests that go beyond his job description.

For most of its historical use in electronics, the solder alloy of choice was tin-lead, either an Sn60/Pb40 alloy or the Sn63/ Pb37 eutectic version of the tin-lead alloy. These two alloys were the workhorses of the industry. They were both well understood in terms of their processing and reliability—that is, until the advent of lead-free, a well-meaning but ill-conceived and poorly executed conversion, forced on the industry by the European Union in 2006.

Since the release of IPC-2591—Connected Factory Exchange (CFX), Version 1.0—there has been a lot of buzz regarding CFX within the industry from all segments. Still, with all of the buzz, there are also some misconceptions floating around the industry regarding CFX. David Bergman takes some of those statements, using feedback from Subcommittee members, and plays a little game of “True or False: CFX Edition.”
