Abstract

The grain sizes and grain orientations of Sn and Bi phases in Sn-58Bi alloy are investigated. We find that the grain size of Bi is larger than that of Sn. Tensile test and two-dimensional simulation reveal that the ductility and yield stress decrease upon Bi coarsening after 504 h of thermal aging at 80 ∘C, and that thermal stress is crowed on the Sn-Bi phase boundaries and is higher in Bi phase than that in Sn phase. Moreover, [0001] preferred orientation of Bi phase along the normal direction of the free surface of the casting model is observed.
