Abstract

There is some confusion in the literature about the material parameters for eutectic tin-lead solder. This is mainly caused by the varying parameters under which the samples are processed and treated prior to testing, which lead to different microstructures. For instance, most investigations are performed with bulk material, some with thin layers. However, the thickness of these layers measures over 100μm; and it is not known whether the material parameters determined on 100μm specimens are appropriate for solder layers of 30μm. This study focuses on the determination of the deformation behavior of thin layers, down to 25μm, of Sn62Pb36Ag2.

Solder

Solder (UKˈsɒldə,_ˈsəʊldə; NA: ˈsɒdər) is a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal workpieces. Solder is melted in order to wet the parts of the joint, where it adheres to and connects the pieces after cooling. Metals or alloys suitable for use as solder should have a lower melting point than the pieces to be joined. The solder should also be resistant to oxidative and corrosive effects that would degrade the joint over time. Solder used in making electrical connections also needs to have favorable electrical characteristics.

Soldering

Soldering (USˈsɒdərɪŋ; UKˈsoʊldərɪŋ) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong and durable joint. Soldering is commonly used in the electronics industry for the manufacture and repair of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. It is also used in plumbing and metalwork, as well as in the manufacture of jewelry and other decorative items.

Strength of materials

The field of strength of materials (also called mechanics of materials) typically refers to various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio.
