Competitiveness in the Electronics Industry of Mexicali Affected by Atmospheric Corrosion

Abstract

The electronics industry has grown over the past fifty years, especially in developed countries, contributing to its economy. In particular, Baja California that is located in northwestern Mexico, have industrial parks with companies in other countries, mainly of United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea and China. In this State, is located Mexicali city, on the US border, where a large number of industrial plants was installed, with 80% of electronic trade industries, and the rest (20%), has electronic devices and systems in the industrial equipment and machinery. Based on this, a study was conducted to determine the main types of electrical faults and organize the main causes of reduced operating performance of equipment and electronic machinery, using the ABC graphs and together with the software Matlab graphics. The analysis showed that the operating performance was lower in some summer and winter periods, and when levels of relative humidity and temperature were higher than 75% to 30 ° C, and presence of sulfides concentrations exceeded the air quality standards, causing atmospheric corrosion.
