Abstract
The creep tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the heat treatments on the mechanical properties of Sn-4wt%Ag, Sn-4wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu, Sn-9wt%Zn and Sn-9wt%Zn-0.5wt%Cu lead free solders. Samples were heat treated at temperatures of 373, 423 and 448 K to produce a range of different grain sizes. Constant-load creep tests were carried out at room temperature for each of the wire samples to all alloys. The results obtained show that there is a relationship between the heat-treatment temperature Ta and the microstructure and that this, in turn, affects the creep properties of the alloys. From the steady state creep rate the stress exponent is described in terms of the heat treatment temperatures. Comparisons are made with all alloys on the creep resistance of solder alternatives. The activation energy for all alloys are calculated at constant applied stress (σ = 9.75MPa). Furthermore, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been applied to measure the variation of positron lifetime parameters for the above mentioned samples. The PAL results showed that value of 342 ps in Sn-9wt%Zn sample corresponding to a vacancy mean size of ~ 3 Ǻ. However, the values of positron annihilation lifetime of Sn-4wt%Ag alloy is shorter than its corresponding value of Sn-9wt%Zn alloy due to the dispersed Ag3Sn within the matrix which leads to a decrease in positron lifetime.
