EVS International Teams Up with ARK Mfg. in Arizona, New Mexico & Southern Nevada
March 30, 2022 | EVS InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute

EVS International, the leader in solder recovery, is pleased to announce the appointment of ARK Manufacturing Solutions, LLC as its manufacturers’ representative. Dave Murrin, President and principal owner of ARK Mfg., will represent EVS’ solder recovery systems in Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern Nevada.
“We are really excited to partner with Dave,” stated Simon Norman, Business Director at EVS. “His knowledge of the industry and experience made this an easy choice.”
Formerly Phoenix Marketing Representatives, ARK Mfg. Solutions has been in business for more than 20 years, having had the good fortune to represent some of the best manufacturers in the electronics industry and serve the best customer base in the market.
EVS’ new Solder Recovery Systems are fully lead-free compatible. Lead-free solder is used around the world and many EVS customers are using the EVS Solder Recovery Systems on all types of lead-free alloys (SAC305, SN100 and SAC X ECT). In Europe, the European Union has eliminated the use of lead from the electronics industry completely.
The price of lead-free solder is three to four times that of present leaded solder so the savings and payback from using EVS technology has leaped forward, making solder recovery the fastest payback of all circuit board assembly capital purchases.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
