Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical properties of Pb-Sn solder joining Cu plates were studied. Yticrostructural observations were made on both the bulk Pb-Sn solder and on the interface between the solder and Cu plates. Pb-Sn solder has a two-phase microstructure in which the Pb-rich phase is the weaker. β-Sn precipitates in the Pb-rich phase were characterized in TEM. Intermetallic phases (Cu6Sn5and Cu3Sn) that form during the reaction of molten Pb-Sn solder with Cu were investigated. Solder joints were tested to fracture in both shear and tensile configurations. The mechanical properties and fracture surface characteristics are reported.Keywords
