Table 1: data for testing the Performance of the examples and comparative examples
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
By observing the stress-strain curves (fig. 2) of the examples and comparative examples, it can be found that: the Sn-Ag-Cu lead-free solder containing Bi, sb and Yb in the design has higher ultimate tensile strength and good ductility, the SAC305 solder is used in a comparative example 1, the ultimate tensile strength is 45.8MPa, and the SAC305 solder with 2wt.% of Bi is used in a comparative example 2, so that the addition of Bi can further improve the ultimate tensile strength of the SAC305 solder, but the ductility is reduced, because the Bi-rich phase is precipitated in the SAC305 solder due to the addition of Bi element, and the Bi-rich phase hinders dislocation motion, so that the ultimate tensile strength of the solder is improved; compared with the single addition of Bi element, the simultaneous addition of Bi, sb and Yb elements can improve the ultimate tensile strength of the Sn-Ag-Cu brazing filler metal and greatly improve the ductility at certain composition points (such as examples 2 and 3); the synergistic effect of the three elements enables the brazing filler metal to show excellent mechanical properties, and the ultimate tensile strength of example 3 is improved by about 44% and the ductility is improved by about 52% compared with the conventional brazing filler metal SAC305 in comparative example 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the comparative example 1 (SAC 305) base solder has a maximum melting onset temperature of 217.53 ℃, and the example 1 (b), example 3 (c) and example 5 (d) solders have lower melting temperatures than the conventional SAC305 solders, which are mainly caused by the fact that Sb and Bi can be solid-dissolved in Sn, and the solid-solution causes a change in the structure of β -Sn; meanwhile, the four solder alloys only have one heat absorption peak, which indicates that the lead-free solder alloy has a melting point eutectic substance and is beneficial to forming a reliable connecting welding spot in the brazing process.
Example 6
In order to further prove the influence of Yb element addition on the performance of the solder, lead-free solders with different Yb element contents are designed, and the method specifically comprises the following steps: 3.0 wt% of Ag, 0.5 wt% of Cu, 2.0 wt% of Bi, 0.6 wt% of Sb, 0.02 wt% of Yb, 0.04 wt% of Yb, 0.06 wt% of Yb, 0.08 wt% of Sb, 0.10 wt% of Yb and the balance of Sn, and mixing and smelting under the protection of nitrogen to prepare the brazing filler metal.
As shown in FIG. 4, after Bi and Sb are added into SAC305 brazing filler metal at the same time, the spreading area is improved, which is mainly benefited by the existence of Bi; as shown in table 1: the difference between the melting point of comparative example 2 (SAC 305-2Bi, the melting point is 212.6 ℃) and that of comparative example 1 (SAC 305, the melting point is 217.5 ℃), the melting point of the Sn-Ag-Cu brazing filler metal is greatly improved by adding the Bi element, and the fluidity of the brazing filler metal alloy is greatly improved by reducing the melting point, so that the spreadability of the brazing filler metal alloy is improved; the spreading performance of the brazing filler metal is further improved by adding the Yb element, because the rare earth element Yb is a surface active element, the surface tension can be reduced by adding the Yb element, and the wettability of the brazing filler metal is improved; compared with the traditional brazing filler metal SAC305, the wettability of the brazing filler metal SAC305 is obviously improved by adding the three elements (Bi, sb and Yb), and the wettability is improved by about 20 percent.
It can be seen in FIG. 5 that the new Sn-Ag-Cu-Bi-Sb-Yb solder has a lower resistivity than the conventional solder SAC 305; and along with the increase of Yb content, the resistivity is gradually reduced, and the improvement of the performance can enable the brazing filler metal to be better applied to electronic packaging, so that electronic devices which are packaged have better conductivity in the using process, the heating and scalding phenomena in the using process are reduced, and the brazing filler metal is more energy-saving and environment-friendly to use.
