Reliable lead free solders are needed for products exposed to extreme environments such
as those used in the automotive, avionics, and oil-exploration industries, as well as in …

Lead free solder materials are susceptible to significant creep deformations in harsh high
temperature environments including automotive, avionics, military, and oil exploration …

Nowadays, one of the strategies to improve the reliability of lead-free solder joints is to add
minor alloying elements to solders. Therefore, the aims of this study are to investigate the …

Due to the RoHS and WEEE legislations for restricting the use of six hazardous materials in
the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment, developing novel Pb …

Reliability of lead-free solders, used in harsh conditions such as in automotive, is still a
serious concern. Simultaneous additions of multiple alloying elements like Bismuth (Bi) …

In this paper, we investigate the effects of isothermal aging on the microstructure and creep
properties of a novel lead-free SAC387-3Bi-1.5 Sb-0.15 Ni (InnoLot)/Cu solder joints. Single …

In this work, we have investigated the mechanical behavior of several SAC and SAC+ X lead
free solder alloys at extreme high temperatures up to 200 oC. The studied alloys included …

The mechanical behavior of lead free solders is highly dependent on the testing
temperature. Previous investigations on mechanical characterization of conventional and …

This paper makes a focus on the design of a micro-testing machine used for evaluating the
mechanical properties of solder alloys. The different parts of the testing device have been …

The present work investigated the corrosion reliability of five Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) based lead-
free solder alloys. The first focus was placed on microstructural analysis of the intermetallic …
