Effect of Cooling Rate on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Sn-0.7wt.%Cu Solder Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dependence of microstructure and mechanical properties of Sn-0.7wt.%Cu solder alloys on different cooling rates were investigated. Two cooling rates were employed during solidification: 0.04 °C/s (mold-cooled system) and 1.66 °C/s (water-cooled system). The results showed that the ultimate tensile strength of Sn-0.7wt.%Cu solder alloy increased but the elongation decreased when water-cooled system was used. The microstructure of Sn-0.7wt.%Cu solder alloys solidified by both cooling systems exhibited two phases of Sn-rich and Cu6Sn5 intermetallic compounds (IMCs). However, finer grains were observed in the water-cooled specimens.
