Abstract
- This study investigated the influence of Sb addition on the microstructure, thermal behavior, mechanical properties, and interfacial evolution of SAC305-2Bi-xSb/Cu solder joints. Compared with the SAC305-2Bi alloy, the melting temperature and pasty range slightly increased with the increasing of Sb content from 0.2 to 2.0 wt.%, while the undercooling temperature decreased. The research revealed that with the addition of Sb element, the grain size of β-Sn is refined. When the content of Sb is 0.5 wt.%, the grain size of β-Sn reached minimum (19.91 μm). Compared to the SAC305-2Bi alloy, the ultimate tensile strength of SAC305-2Bi–2Sb alloy is increased by 30.10%, contributed to the Sb solid solution strengthening effect and the refinement of β-Sn. With the addition of Sb, the thickness and growth rate of the interface is reduced gradually. The uniform solution of Sb and Sn can significantly inhibit the diffusion rate of Cu atoms and Sn atoms at the interface. The SAC305-2Bi-xSb alloy system has low melting temperature, superior mechanical properties, and reliable solder joints for service. Therefore, it is a potentially reliable lead-free solder for high-stability connections in automotive electronics, communications electronics, and medical devices.
