Abstract
This work investigated the fatigue fracture characteristics of Sn-7∼11wt.%Zn and Sn-30∼50wt.%PPb solder alloys under resonant vibration. For the alloys containing proeutectic Sn-rich grains, the results show stratum appearance on the deformation of coarse proeutectic grains. This stratum-type deformation will reduce the vibration resistance of Pb-Sn solder by inducing cracks. For the Sn-Zn system, fine eutectic structure will cause cracks to form and coalesce easily in the regions concentrated with small fibrous deformation grains, whereas hypereutectic structure shows coarse proeutectic Zn-rich particles as the crack initiation sites. Sn-t-Zn solders have better damping capacity than Pb-Sn solders. With hypoeutectic composition to induce stratum-type deformation and under lower vibration strain, these lead-free solders tend to exhibit superior crack propagation resistance, and, in that respect, are possible to replace Pb-Sn solders.
