In this study, Sn-Ag nano solders of three different compositions (Sn-1.0 mass%Ag, Sn-3.5 mass%Ag and Sn-6.5 mass%Ag) were synthesized via arc-discharge process. The properties of Sn-Ag nano solders were analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Particle size relatively widely ranged from 10 nm to 340 nm. For Sn-1.0 mass%Ag and Sn-3.5 mass%Ag, average size was 200$240 nm, and that for Sn-6.5 mass%Ag was 40$50 nm with some extra-ordinary large particles of $100 nm. The melting points of the prepared SnAg nano solders were examined with DSC at different heating rates 1 K, 3 K and 5 K/min. The congruent melting point of Sn-Ag nano solders was found to be 487 K.
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.
