研究目的
Investigating the effect of Indium (In) addition on the wettability of the Sn–3Ag–0.5Cu (SAC305) ternary pb-free solder alloy on Cu substrate.
研究成果
The addition of 0.5 wt.% In to the SAC305 solder alloy improved wettability by decreasing contact angles, with the lowest angle observed at 310°C. The melting temperature was slightly affected, and the formation of intermetallic compounds was observed. Optimizing the amounts of indium and silver could make the Sn-2Ag-0.5Cu-0.5In alloy a viable alternative to conventional SAC305 solder for economic benefits.
研究不足
The study focused on a specific addition of Indium (0.5 wt.%) and its effects on wettability and microstructure. The applicability of the findings to other compositions or conditions was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used the sessile drop technique to measure contact angles of the solder alloy on Cu substrate at various temperatures. Microstructures, inter-metallic phases, and melting temperatures were characterized using optic microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimeter.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study produced a new quaternary lead-free solder alloy by adding 0.5wt.% In to the near-eutectic SAC305 alloy. Chemical compositions were acquired from XRF analysis.
3:5wt.% In to the near-eutectic SAC305 alloy. Chemical compositions were acquired from XRF analysis.
