Comparing 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag with 63Sn/37Pb, addition of 2% Ag introduces two major advantages. The first advantage is grain refining, and the resultant better fatigue resistance. The second advantage is a wider processing window on Ag metallization. Pres

Gentlemen, This is an interesting topic. If one refers to the Nihon Superior patent, they make the following claims. "Germanium makes the crystal finer when the alloy solidifies. Germanium appears on a grain boundary, preventing the crystal from b

Sn-based lead-free solders such as Sn-Ag-Cu, Sn-Cu, and Sn-Bi have been used extensively for a long time in the electronic packaging field. Recently, low-temperature Sn-Bi solder alloys attract much attention from industries for flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) applications. Low melting temperatures of Sn-Bi solders avoid warpage wherein printed circuit board and electronic parts deform or deviate from the initial state due to their thermal mismatch during soldering. However, the addition of alloying elements and nanoparticles Sn-Bi solders improves the melting temperature, wettability, microstructure, and mechanical properties. Improving the brittleness of the eutecticSn-58wt%Bi solder alloy by grain refinement of the Bi-phase becomes a hot topic. In this paper, literature studies about melting temperature, microstructure, inter-metallic thickness, and mechanical properties of Sn-Bi solder alloys upon alloying and nanoparticle addition are reviewed
