Low Melting Point Phase Study

Effects of the Bi Contamination on Sn/Pb solder (Smt, Sept. 2000, p91-94)
  • Possible low Tm Phase(Theoretical)
    - 16Sn/32Pb/52Bi: 96°C
    - 43Sn/57Bi 139°C
    - 43.5Pb/56.5Bi 125°C

Tensile Conditions 6.56×104 pre sec 300℉

Sn / Pb / Bi Solder Alloy Compositions and Their Properties

  • 2% Bi Adding: Increase the strength and plasticity
  • 5% Bi Adding: Increase strength, decrease the plasticity
  • The reason for high Time-to-Failure(5% Bi Adding):
    Fatigue strain range(?=0.2%)for Nf is well below the plastic strain at fracture( p??12%)

Tensile Conditions 6.56×104 pre sec 300℉

  • Sample prep.: SnBi lead finish+SnPb paste(48TSOP) detach the joint part with knife(As mounted state) 
    sample weight: 23.85mg/48 leads Module cond.: 265°C Peak(During IR Reflow)
  • Analysis: DSC2910(TA Instrument), 5°C/min(ramp up)
    cell constant: 1.1387
  • Results: No low Tm Phase(SnPbBi) was detected.

Tensile Conditions 6.56×104 pre sec 300℉

  • Conclusion :
    Low temperature binary and ternary eutectics will not exist unless Bi content exceeds the primary solid solution. (23.5Bi in Pb, 21Bi in Sn) Bi atoms up to 5% are expected to enter the Sn crystal lattice, Pb crystal lattice or both.
