Due to the RoHS and WEEE legislations for restricting the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment, developing novel Pb-free solders becomes a real challenge for many industrials in recent years. Mechanical properties of the lead-free alloys are very important factors in the design and reliability evaluation of the soldered joints. Nowadays, among the newly-developed lead-free solder alloys, SAC-Bi,Ni,Sb (InnoLot) alloy, which contains minor quantities of Sb, Bi and Ni, have been identified as promising candidates for the...
