Global concerns over the environmental impact and health effects of the lead-based solders have led to the development of lead-free solder alloys. Further improvements in the reliability of lead-free solder alloys at high temperatures are required for downsizing of electronic components in vehicles. In this work, tensile and creep tests and microstructure analysis were carried out to determine the effect of Bi or Sb addition on high-temperature deformation behavior in Sn-Cu-Ni solder alloys. The addition of Bi or Sb increased the strength of the Sn-Cu-Ni solder alloys. The stress exponent was estimated to be ≥3, indicating that the hightemperature deformation was controlled by dislocation creep. Furthermore, in both the alloys, the stress exponent observed in the low stress region was nearly equal to 3 and discontinuously increased to ≥7 in the high stress region. For Sb addition, the solute atmosphere drag mechanism was observed in the low stress region. [doi:10.2320/jinstmet.J2017025] や Sn に Bi や Sb を添加したはんだ合
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.
