Abstract:
The effect of different Pr additions(0,0.05,0.5wt.%) on the solidification behavior,spreading property and microstructures of Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu(SAC) solder were investigated.The results showed that the undercooling of SAC,SAC-0.05Pr and SAC-0.5Pr solder in solidification were 23.2,7 and 8.6℃ respectively which indicated that the proper content of Pr addition could obviously decrease the undercooling of SAC solder.Meanwhile,with Pr addition,the microstructure of SAC solder was improved and the primary Ag
3Sn plate in SAC/Cu solder joint was restrained.Moreover,the SAC-0.05Pr solder has the best wetting property and microstructure;when the Pr addition was up to 0.5 wt%,PrSn
3 phase with large size formed in solder would deteriorate the property of SAC solder joint.
