Abstract: | The microstructural and creep behavior of bulk 63SnPb37 and the Pb-free solder alloy Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu are reported and compared.
The Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu alloy showed much lower absolute creep rates than 63SnPb37. The size and distribution of the intermetallic
compound (IMC) coarsened with increasing creep temperature. A number of coarsened precipitates of Cu6Sn5 segregate around β-Sn grain boundaries. After creep at 80°C and 115°C. the β-Sn particles in the Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu alloy are strongly
aligned at approximately 45° to the uniaxial tension, parallel to the maximum shear-stress planes. The powerlaw-defined stress
exponent significantly increases with increasing stress in both the 63Sn37Pb and Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu alloys; therefore, the Dorn
model is unsuitable for these materials over large stress and temperature ranges. Both sets of experimental data were successfully
fit with the present power-law stress-dependent energy-barrier model and the Garofalo model. However, the application of the
present power-law stress-dependent energy model resulted in a significantly lower estimated variance as compared to the Garofalo
model. |
