This AIR presents an abbreviated review of the metallurgical phenomena known as whiskers. It is not all encompassing; rather, it is intended to introduce the design engineer to the technical issues of metallic whiskers, their formation, and the potentially dangerous problems they can cause. AIR4129A results from a Five-Year Review and update of the specification with changes to scope (Section 1), definitions (Section 3), appearance and effects (4.1 and 4.2.1), and current concerns (6.1).
