Composite approach in lead-free solder development was perceived as an expectation in finding new robust solder. Accordingly, Sn-0.7Cu/re-Al composite lead-free solder with varying amount of recycled-Aluminum (0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 wt.% re-Al) particulates produced from aluminum beverage cans were successfully fabricated via powder metallurgy techniques in this study. This paper focuses on the thermal properties focusing on the melting temperature of the new developed Sn-0.7Cu/re-Al lead-free composite solder. The melting temperature (Tm) of the new solders was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The melting temperature of the composite solders has showed comparable results with the monolithic solders of Sn-0.7Cu lead-free solder.

This research has investigated the solder performances of Sn-0.7Cu lead-free solder reinforced with silicon nitride (Si3N4). The Sn-0.7Cu + Si3N4 composite solder were fabricated via powder metallurgy (PM) technique with five different weight percentages (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0). Results showed that distribution of Si3N4 along the grain boundaries has increased the hardness of the Sn-0.7Cu + Si3N4 composite solders compared to monolithic Sn-0.7Cu solder alloy. Addition of Si3N4 reinforcement had no significant effect to the melting temperature of the solder. Overall, the entire range of Sn-0.7Cu + Si3N4 composition greatly improves the microhardness of the eutectic solder.

Physical and mechanical properties of a solder joint will be improved by adding the high performance of reinforcement particulates in the monolithic lead-free solder. In this study, 0.1wt% of activated carbon (AC) was added into Sn-0.7Cu lead-free solder which fabricated via powder metallurgy (PM) techniques. Various parameters used in PM technique such as mixing time, compacting load and sintering temperature has been carried out in fabricating the composite solder. In this study, the best mixing time has been optimized. The distribution of carbon in SnCu matrix for each mixing time was observed by using optical microscope. Microstructural observation showed that the increasing in mixing time has increased the number of AC particles to become agglomerated. It is found out that 1hour of mixing time is the best parameter to fabricate SnCu/AC composite solder via powder metallurgy route since the distribution of reinforcement particles has distributed uniformly at the grain boundaries without any agglomeration.

The effect of micron-size silicon nitride (Si3N4) particles additions, up to 1.0 wt. % on Sn-Cu-Ni (SN100C) solder alloy was investigated. Sn-Cu-Ni composite solder were prepared via powder metallurgy (PM) technique. Different percentages of Si3N4(0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 wt. %) were added into the alloy. Result revealed that reinforcement was well distributed between the grain boundaries which could positively affect the properties of the composite solder.

This research has investigated the physical performances of low-silver Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) lead-free composite solder reinforced with titanium dioxide (TiO2). The SAC/TiO2 composite solder were fabricated via powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The five different composition chosen were 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0. The results showed that distribution of TiO2 along the grain boundaries has increased the hardness of the SAC/TiO2 composite solders compared to monolithic SAC solder alloy.

AbstractIn this work, contact angle, spreading area, and isothermal aging tests were conducted to study the difference between Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder and its composite solder at different multiwalled carbon nanotube reinforcement volume fractions. The material interaction between the solder and the substrate at different aging temperatures and times was investigated using scanning electron microscopy elemental analysis. The experimental results indicated that the composite solder had a lower contact angle as well as good spreading area. An intermetallic compound layer was found between the solder and the copper substrate, and the thickness of this reaction layer increased with increasing aging temperature and time. Meanwhile, the intermetallic compound layer of multiwalled carbon nanotube reinforcement composite solder was thicker than that of the Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder. The composite solder with 0.1 vol% multiwalled carbon nanotube reinforcement addition exhibited better comprehensive properties than composite solders with other reinforcement volume fractions.

AbstractThe harmful effects of lead on the environment and human health, coupled with the threat of legislation, have prompted a serious search for lead-free solders for electronic packaging applications. The melt-spinning processes of ternary Sn-10 wt.%Sb-3 wt.%X (X=In, Ag, Bi and Zn) were analyzed using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Vickers hardness tester (HV). The investigation showed that, the addition of a small amount of the third element enhances the ductility of the Sn–10 wt.% Sb lead-free solder due to the formation of a fine, homogeneous ternary microstructure.. It is concluded that, the addition of 3.0 wt% Ag improves the grain size of the ternary microstructure. Moreover, SnSb intermetallic compound, precipitated finely from the solid tin solution near the grain boundaries with antimony. This fine precipitated intermetallic compound suppresses the coarsening of the ternary structure and thus enhances solder ductility. Structural and microstructural analysis revealed that the origin of change in mechanical behaviors was due to refined beta-Sn grains and formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) SnSb, InSn19, β-In3Sn and Ag3Sn. The results indicated that the melting point of Sn-10Sb-3 wt.% Ag and Sn-10 wt.%Sb- 3 wt.% Zn alloys reduced to  230 and 240 ˚C respectively.  In particular, the zinc addition at 3 wt.%  is the most effective in improving solder ductility. The good creep resistance of Sn-10 wt.% Sb-3 wt.% Zn lead-free solder correlated to a large β-Sn grain size and complete soluble of SnSb IMC particles in the β-Sn matrix.
