Abstract:The present research examined how cobalt microalloying additions of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 weight percent affected the microstructural properties, thermal features, and tensile creep characteristics of eutectic Sn-5 wt.% Sb- 0.5 wt.% Cu (SSC) lead-free solder alloy. According to the results, cobalt additions of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 wt.% did not affect SbSn phase but significantly refined β-Sn grains, facilitating the formation of fine fibers (Cu,Co)6Sn5 together with plate-like CoSn3 phases, and preventing the … Show more
