“…It is the lightest structural metal with a density of 1.741 g/cm 3 , in comparison with the densities of Al (2.70 g/cm 3 ) and Fe (7.86 g/cm 3 ). This makes magnesium alloys particularly attractive for transportation applications such as automobiles and helicopters for weight reduction and higher fuel efficiency [26]. Zn-Mg alloy belongs to light metal system.…”

Researchers have been working for some times to develop a Pb-free substitute for high-Pb containing solders in electronics. In this study the effect of Mg content on microstructure, melting behavior, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of a new high-temperature Pb-free solder based on binary Zn-Mg alloy were investigated. The nominal compositions of Zn-xMg (x = 0.5-6.0) alloys were synthesized by conventional melting and casting route. The microstructures of the solders changed significantly on adding Mg content. Higher Mg containing alloys were found rich in intermetallic phases. The formation of the Mg 2 Zn 11 and metastable MgZn 2 intermetallic phases were identified and were also quantified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The presence of higher amount of intermetallic compounds in hypereutectic Zn-Mg systems deteriorated the tensile properties of the binary alloy. The results of electrical resistivity test indicated that the Mg could elevate the resistivity of newly developed Zn-Mg alloys. The melting behavior of the solder alloys studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis revealed that the melting temperature range of the solder alloys narrowed with Mg addition. Thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) analysis revealed that the co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) decreased on increasing Mg content.

“…Furthermore, the increasing of intermetallic precipitates at grain boundary area will impede the development of cracks, which also contributes the microhardness of alloys. Similar results were also found in our study [17,18]. The magnitude of the strengthening effect depends on the microstructural morphology of precipitate phase, the matrix phase, and the interface between the two.…”
