Gold Embrittled Solder Joints

Gold Embrittled Solder Joints

(OP)
I know that gold will cause lead-tin solder joints to become brittle
 over time, NASA tells me so.  They have specific procedures to
 avoid it.  Has anyone seen anything in writing that goes into any
 detail as to what the mechanism is and when to worry about
 it?  Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately, there is a problem with the URL and I couldn't access the page?
