“…The morphology of Cu-Sn alloys in the form of spherical grains is well reported in literature 1,27,28 .Other surface morphologies are also reported for Cu-Sn alloys, such as needles 29 and the dendritic morphology 30 . This latter morphology is usually associated with a coating in which the copper ions reduction was favored, decreasing the reduction of tin ions.…”

Cu-Sn Coatings Produced Using Environmentally Non-Aggressive Electrolyte Containing Sodium Tartrate

2017

This work proposes the production of Cu-Sn alloy coatings with anticorrosive properties, using an environmentally non-aggressive bath. The coatings were electrodeposited on carbon steel substrate AISI 1020 using an electrolyte containing CuCl 2 and SnCl 2 , and sodium tartrate as the complexant agent. The produced coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The film showing the highest corrosion resistance was obtained using j = 100 Am -2 . This coating was composed by 95.18 % m/m Cu and 4.83 % m/m Sn, and presented a uniform surface, without defects and small grain sizes. These characteristics probably contributed to the formation of Cu-Sn protective film onto steel substrate from a tartrate bath.

“…Figure 2b presents the surface topography of CuSn-Cr coated piston ring. The surface topography is also shown to be distributed with mesh texture, and different sized Cu-Sn alloys are scattered on the surface in the form of spherical grains [36][37][38]. Figure 3 shows the piston ring reciprocating liner test rig [39].…”

In order to investigate the friction and wear behavior between the nodular cast iron cylinder liner (Fe) and CuSn coated piston ring under heavy-duty conditions, piston rings with chromium(Cr) coating and CuSn-Cr coating were tested using the piston ring reciprocating liner test rig at the simulated working conditions of 56 MPa, 200 r/min, 190 • C. Compared with the Cr/Fe pair, the CuSn coating consumption of the CuSn-Cr/Fe pair made friction coefficient and cylinder wear loss decrease by 2.8% and 51.5%, respectively. Different size Sn patches worn from the CuSn coated piston ring were embedded into the cylinder liner surface based on the surface topography. This process was shown to reduce the surface roughness of a cylinder liner and form flatter plateau structures. Chemical elements analysis indicated that plateau structures on the cylinder liner surface matched with CuSn-Cr coated ring are helpful to promote the tribo-chemical reaction and generate the reactive products to protect the mutually contacted asperities.Although surface texturing on the cylinder liner or piston ring is an effective method to improve the wear behavior [7-9], various coatings prepared on the piston rings are also important means to improve heavy-duty friction and wear performance [10]. The CrN coating made by the physical vapor deposition or magnetron sputtering method has shown good high temperature resistance to adhesion [11][12][13][14]. In order to improve the thermal stability, oil compatibility, and internal stress of ceramic coatings, nanocomposite coatings (like TiN, TiAlN, TiSiN and TiSiCN) were developed to minimize the frictional losses and wear of piston rings in an automotive engine [15,16]. Shen et al. compared chromium-based ceramic composite (CKS) and nickel-chromium-molybdenum (NCM) coated rings sliding against cast iron liner and demonstrated that the anti-scuffing behavior of NCM is better than that of the CKS with the failure time as a criterion [17]. Wan et al. indicated that the presence of amorphous graphite-like carbon not only combated the scuffing damage and running instability effectively for conventional chromium-based coatings, but also improved the reliability and robustness of the piston rings [18]. Based on the increasing scuffing resistance experiments, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated piston ring can protect the cast iron liner from scuffing up to 600 N normal load [19]. Its lower friction coefficient and wear loss were attributed to the formation of a mixed tribolayer [19][20][21]. But the existence of residual stress in the preparation process of DLC coating would cause the coating to crack. If stress concentration exerted on the contact interface was too high, it would lead to the coating wear or peeling [22].Compared with hard coatings, soft coatings have also attracted widespread attention for weakening the friction surface damage. Hamilton et al. investigated the relationship between macroscopic wear and the temperature of the MoS 2 coating [23]. Meng et al. indicated that the stabilized fricti...

“…Because the mechanical and electrical reliability of the Sn based alloy solders are highly dependent on the electroplating conditions, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] the degradation of the electroplating bath leads to packaging problems. 1,3,22,23 Indeed, issues such as the collapse of solder bumps during solder reow and the non-wetting phenomena of solder surfaces with the base metal can be observed more frequently as the electroplating bath solution approaches the end of its lifetime. 2,24 The collapse of the solder bumps leads to a non-contact failure, or a critical bridging failure between neighboring bumps, which results in enormous product loss and an increase in production costs.…”

The present study investigates the degradation mechanism of a methanesulfonic acid (MSA) based electroplating bath used for the electrodeposition of Sn-Ag alloy solder bumps, and its effects on the microstructure of the solder and on the collapse failure of flip-chip solder bumps. To examine the degradation behavior of the electroplating bath, a degraded electrolyte is prepared by accelerated aging treatment.
