The properties of Sn-0.7Cu solder bulk prepared via the powder metallurgy (PM) method were investigated and compared with solder bulk fabricated through casting. Distinct microstructures were observed in both PM and casting ...

Since decades ago, corrosion is the crucial factors for million dollars loss in construction industry. Corrosion of reinforcement bar in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete is mainly due to chloride and acid attack and ...

The developments of lead-free solders have become a major concern to the researchers in electronic industry to replace the lead-containing materials. The concern is not just for low temperature solders but also for high ...

The effect of excessive intermetallic growth to the reliability of solder joints become major problem in electronic devices industry. In this study, we used Sn-Cu-Si₃N₄ composite solder to observe the intermetallic compound ...

The microstructure study of eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) and Sn-Ag solders during isothermal annealing has been investigated. Isothermal annealing temperatures were from 60ºC, to 150ºC for 24 up to 1008 hours of anneal time. ...

In this research, varying fraction of titanium oxide (TiO2) reinforcement particles was successfully incorporated into Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste in an effort to study the influence of TiO2 addition on microstructure evolution ...
