Solid-liquid interdiffusion (SLID) bonding was extensively investigated as a potential
bonding method applied to 3D chip stacking because it can be bonded at a low temperature …

Recent experimental investigations have widened the understanding of metal dusting
significantly. Microscopic observations have been used to dissect dusting mechanisms. Iron …

This article defines crystallographic terms and concepts, including crystal structure, unit cell,
structure symbols, lattice, space-group notation, and atom position. It schematically …

Nickel is an excellent alternative catalyst to high cost Pt and Pt-group metals as anode
material in direct methanol fuel cells. However, nickel presents a relatively low stability …

From phase boundary mapping, we find that the thermoelectric TiNiSn half-Heusler phase
shows a narrow solubility range on the Ti–Ni–Sn phase diagram primarily in the range of …

Abstract Sn-Ni coatings (0–13 wt% Ni) were electrodeposited on mild steel. The highest (R
p= 18,561.1 Ω· cm 2) and the lowest (R p= 4756.7 Ω· cm 2) corrosion resistance was …

Methane pyrolysis is a unique approach toward generating hydrogen and valuable carbon
products, with the added advantage of low to near-zero CO2 emissions. Currently, the most …

A method of limiting cracking in the Cu 6 Sn 5 intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the
interface between lead-free solders and copper substrates has been developed. To explore …

In this investigation, ultrasonic-assisted soldering at 260° C in air produced high strength
and high melting point Cu connections in 60 s using Ni foam reinforced Sn composite …

Abstract In this work, Cu-15Ni-8Sn components were manufactured by selective laser
melting (SLM) with a near full density of about 99.4%. The microstructures and phase …
