This study investigates the effect of various geopolymer ceramic particles addition in matrix SnCu solder paste on its geopolymer ceramic’s microstructure and their mechanical properties after being reinforced in solder alloy. The composite solder was prepared by mechanically mixed 1.0 wt.% geopolymer ceramic powder into SnCu powder and compacted via powder metallurgy (PM) technique. Based on microhardness results, the presence of slag geopolymer shows an improvement after being reinforced with SnCu.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
