摘要 The effects of Bi addition on the properties of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu molten alloy on Cu substrates are discussed using wettability and interface microstructure analysis. The changes of the contact angles between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu- x Bi and Cu substrates with the spreading time are described by Dezellus model. It indicates that the spreading process is governed by the interfacial reaction during the dwelling time. The interface microstructure is observed to clarify the effects of reactions on the spreading behavior. It is found that Cu 6 Sn 5 is formed adjacent to the solder and Cu 3 Sn appears over the substrate with Bi added at 613K, indicating that Bi exists between the intermetallics and the addition of Bi can hinder the diffusion of copper towards the interior of the solder. Therefore the existence of Bi decreases the agglomeration of Cu-Sn grains. The growth of intermetallics is thus limited and the shape of intermetallics transforms from scallop to zigzag consequently. However, the segregation phenomenon appears when the additive amount of Bi is more than 5.5mass %, which could lead to the occurrence of fracture and degrade the performance of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu- x Bi alloy. The results of the present study provide basic physical and chemical data for the application of lead-free solder in the future microgravity space environment.
