Pb-based solders have been the cornerstone technology of electronic interconnections for
many decades. However, with legislation in the European Union and elsewhere having …

Composite lead-free solders, containing micro and nano particles, have been widely
studied. Due to grain boundary drag or Zener drag, these particles can refrain the solder …

This work investigates the effects of nano-Al2O3 on the microstructure and microhardness of
the Sn3. 5Ag0. 5Cu composite solder alloy. In comparison with solder without the addition of …

Recently, nano-composite solders have been developed in the electronic packaging
materials industry to improve the creep and thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance of solder …

Varying weight fractions of graphene nanosheets were successfully incorporated into lead-
free solder using the powder metallurgy route. The effects of graphene nanosheets on the …

For development of a lead-free composite solder for advance electrical components, a
series of Sn3. 5Ag0. 25Cu (SAC) solders containing TiO2 nanopowders have been studied …

In the present study, varying weight percentages of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were
incorporated into Sn–Ag–Cu solder matrix, to form composite solders. Isothermal aging …

Nano-sized, nonreacting, noncoarsening ZrO2 particles reinforced Sn–3.0 wt% Ag–0.5 wt%
Cu composite solders were prepared by mechanically dispersing ZrO2 nano-particles into …

Composite approaches have been developed in lead-free solder research in an effort to
improve the service temperature capabilities and thermal stability of the solder joints. This …

Lead free solder alloys for electronic assembly is being driven by environmental and health
concerns regarding toxicity of lead and, more importantly, by the perceived economic …
