Abstract

The effect of strain rate on tensile properties of several lead-free solder was investigated using miniature size specimens. High-temperature lead-free solder which are Sn-Cu and Sn-Sb alloys were prepared. Moreover, low-Ag lead-free solder which are Sn-1Ag-0.7Cu (SAC107, mass%) based alloys were prepared. Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) was also prepared for comparison. Tensile strength is proportion to the logarithm of strain rate in all solder investigated. Although 0.1% proof stress decreases at high strain rate in high-temperature solder, it scarcely changes in low-Ag solder. Elongation somewhat increases with increasing strain rate in high-temperature solder. It increases with increasing strain rate in low-Ag solder although it is lower than that of SAC305. Chisel point fracture mainly occurred except Sn-13Sb. In Sn-13Sb, brittle fracture occurred and thus elongation was lower than those of other solder. Sn-8.5Sb and Sn-1Ag-0.7Cu-1Bi-0.2In show mechanical properties similar to SAC305.
