Impression creep of Sn–40Pb–2·5Sb peritectic solder alloy

Abstract: The power law creep behaviour of the Sn-40Pb-2?5Sb peritectic solder alloy was investigated using an impression test apparatus. The tests were carried out under constant stress in the range 17 to 39 MPa and at temperatures in the range 296 to 363 K. Assuming a power law relationship between the impression velocity and stress, power law stress exponents in the range 1-3 were determined. Analysis of the data showed that for all loads and temperatures, the activation energy was stress independent with values in t… Show more

“…This method can be particularly advantageous when the material is only available as small test pieces or there are difficulties with the machining of samples made of very soft materials such as solder alloys. [17][18][19] Impression creep involves the time-dependent penetration of a cylindrical punch with a flat end into the material under constant load and temperature. 20 During the test, the variation in penetration depth of the impresser with time is continuously recorded, and thus the penetration rate or impression velocity can be obtained.…”

“…Creep characteristics of solder alloys have been widely investigated by indentation [5][6][7][8][9], impression [10][11][12][13][14] and most frequently by conventional creep testing methods [4,[15][16][17]. The stress relaxation tests, however, are applied mainly to the creep studies of polymers and in few cases to metals and alloys [18,19].…”
