Abstract

The internal oxidation of Sn was investigated to understand the oxidation kinetics of monophase CuSn alloys. SnO 2 particles were characterized by analytical transmission electron microscopy . The orientation relationship between SnO 2 and Cu was determined with a special emphasis on the atomic-scale structure of Cu/SnO 2 interfaces (misfit dislocations and chemical structure). Habit planes with a pure oxygen plane terminating the SnO 2 phase are greatly favored and large misfits promote the growth of plate-shaped precipitates.
