Abstract
The effect of Al particles addition on the microstructure and microhardness of Sn-0.7Cu-xAl lead-free solder was systematically investigated. The Sn-0.7Cu-xAl solder alloy was successfully fabricated via powder metallurgy (PM) method which consists of mixing, compaction and sintering. Results show that the crystallization of Sn occurs in two different modifications; α-Sn and β-Sn, where the formation of β-Sn able to reinforce the solder matrix. The Al particles also distributed homogeneously along the grain boundaries. The microhardness was improved by 19% as the weight percentage of the Al particles increased up to 1.0 wt.%.
