Abstract
In this study, novel Zn-Sn-xBi high-temperature solders were designed to join sintered NdFeB permanent magnets and steel. The effect of Bi addition on the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the soldered joints was systematically investigated. The results indicated that introducing Bi with specific content obviously decreased the undercooling of the solder. Reducing the undercooling by promoting the solidification process and the formation of Bi precipitates as nucleation sites could refine the microstructure. The improvement of corrosion resistance was attributed to the finer microstructure and the Bi precipitates serving as anodic barriers. Moreover, the sound soldered joints were obtained with finer β-Sn dendrites and a more uniform distribution of Bi precipitates when appropriate Bi was added. The shear strength of the soldered joint with 5 wt% Bi addition was 36.6% higher than the shear strength of the ZS soldered joint.
