“…Therefore, there is also the potential for galvanically induced corrosion of the solder, which could exacerbate any atmospheric corrosion that might be occurring. However, the properties of these lead free alloys in corrosive environments has not been widely reported, though it is of importance in many automotive, aerospace, maritime and defence applications [46]. Some researchers have studied the corrosion behaviour of Sn-Zn-X solders [47,48] and Sn-Zn-Ag-Al-XGa [49], but few [50,51] have studied the corrosion properties of Sn-Ag, Sn-Cu and Sn-Ag-Cu solders.…”
