Abstract

In this paper, the oxidation and wetting behaviour of Sn-0.7Cu and Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Fe-2Bi solder alloys has been investigated. The alloys were subjected to 200 degrees C in oxygen rich environment. Weight gain curves reveal that the oxidation behaviour obey the parabolic rate law. X-Ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals the presence of SnO and SnO2 oxide layer on the surface of Sn-0.7Cu solder alloys. SnO was formed as the basic oxide layer. However, at higher temperature SnO transforms into SnO2. Addition of Bi results in the formation of Bi2O3. The Pilling-Bedworth ratio of SnO, SnO2 and Bi2O3 oxides are 1.28, 1.35 and 1.23 respectively. These ratios confirm the passive nature of oxide layers. Wetting behaviour of Sn-0.7Cu and Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Fe-2Bi were investigated on Cu substrate. The addition of Bi and Fe improves the wetting properties of Sn-0.7Cu solder alloys. Alloying with Bi and Fe results in growth suppression of intermetallic compound at the interface. Increase in spreading rate, decrease in wetting angle and solder height reveals better performance of the Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Fe-2Bi solder alloy.
