The results indicate that the melting point of Sn-3.0Ag-2.8Cu solder is enhanced by Ce addition; a small amount of Ce will remarkably prolong the creep-rupture life of Sn-3.0Ag-2.8Cu solder joint at room temperature, especially when the content of Ce is 0.1%, the creep-rupture life will be 9 times or more than that of the solder joint without Ce addition; the elongation of Sn-3.0Ag-2.8Cu solder is also obviously improved even up to 15.7%. In sum, the optimum content of Ce is within 0.05%-0.1 %.展开更多

The paper presents a process where Cu-Cr-Sn-Zn lead frame alloy is produced by rapid solidification and aging. The microcrystalline structure of rapidly solidified Cu-Cr-Sn-Zn alloy is smaller grain structure examined by optical metallography. The effects of aging processes on the microstructure and properties of the lead frame alloy were investigated. Aged at 500℃ for 15 min the fine coherent precipitates Cr distribute in Cu matrix observed by transmission electron microscopy and the properties of hardness and electrical conductivity properties can reach 178HV and 61%IACS, respectively.展开更多

For each alloy, the factors were divided into three levels in the experiment. Two correlative equations are given by regression. They indicate that the effects of three factors on the function are in the mutual and quadratic forms. And the analysis of variance shows the equations are sound and meaningful. Using the equations, it is easy to search, predict and control the IMC thickness. The existence of element Co accelerates the crystallization and growing up of IMC.展开更多

The effects of microstructure and aging processes on hardness and electrical conductivity of Cu-Cr-Sn-Zn alloy were studied. At 450 ℃ aging for 1 h the fine and ordered precipitates Cr are found and are coherent with Cu matrix. Small and fine Cr precipitates make the Cu-Cr-Sn-Zn lead frame alloy possesses higher hardness and conductivity. At 450 ℃ for 3～6 h,the hardness and electrical conductivity can reach 122～106 HV and 68% IACS -70% IACS,respectively. Hardness 113～109 HV and conductivity 66% IACS -69% IACS are available at 500 ℃ aging for 2～3 h.展开更多

La has little effect on the melting behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu alloy according to the differential thermal analysis(DTA) tests. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns show that β-Sn,Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5 coexist in the as-cast solder alloys and LaSn3 phases emerge when adding 0.4% La. The microstructures modified by La are more uniform and much finer than that of baseline alloy,and the coarse LaSn3 particles with complex dendrites are observed by optical microscopy(OM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) when the addition of La is up to 0.4%. The composition of the LaSn3 phases is identified by energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). There are considerable improvements in mechanical properties with 0.05% and 0.1% addition,but degenerations by adding 0.4%La. The Vickers microhardness of β-Sn and eutectic area are both enhanced with the addition of La and the microhardness of LaSn3 is much larger than those of β-Sn and eutectic area.展开更多

The phase constitution,surface morphology and microstructure evolution of the alloy after internal oxidation were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry,optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy,respectively. The results show that the surface color of samples after internal oxidation is different from the different oxidation time and temperatures. The oxidation reaction firstly takes place on the grain boundaries. The microstructure developed on the initial stage of internal oxidation is fir-tree crystal texture. However,this texture structure disappears accompanied by grain growth and oxides forming during the prolonged oxidation. Finally,the oxide particles are uniformly dispersed in the silver matrix.展开更多
