Abstract:The effect of cooling rate on the microstructural and mechanical properties of Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu-0.05Ni lead-free solder alloy was studied. The microstructure of specimens was characterized by using an optical microscope (OM) and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The mechanical properties were performed by using a universal testing machine (UTM). The results showed that the cooling rate of water-cooled specimens was about 2.37 °C/s and the cooling rate of mold-cooled specimens was about 0.05 °C/s. To… Show more
