Abstract

A method is provided for soldering using tin-containing solder to substrate surfaces that are gold plated wherein a selected portion of the gold plated surface is treated by impacting with a high velocity stream of fine nickel containing abrasive particles to remove all the gold from the treated surface and then effecting joining to the treated surface by conventional soldering techniques.
