Al-Si alloys are increasingly being employed in the aerospace industry, satellite bearings,
and inertial navigation systems. Hypoeutectic compositions are more attractive because of …

Bi-Zn solder alloys with different Zn contents (1.5, 2.7 and 5wt-%) were prepared by casting
and the correlation between the microstructure and corrosion behaviour by mean of direct …

Due to the rising demand for thermal management technologies within the electronics
industry, there has been an increased emphasis on developing new thermal interface …

The development of efficient thermal interface materials (TIMs) has become an emerging
demand mainly driven by the continual rise in power dissipation of high-performance …

Abstract The Sn–Mg eutectic alloy is a potential replacement for the traditional Sn-38.1 wt%
Pb solder alloy, since lead has been banned because of its risk to human health and the …

Industry is searching for ways of improving the process control required for the manufacture
of electronic circuitry. In this respect, a numerical mathematical model for thermal contact …

Well-characterized nucleants are important for heterogeneous nucleation because of their
catalyst effect. In this study, micro-and nano-sized Bi droplets embedded in the Zn matrix …

Despite numerous studies on lead-free solder in recent years, only a limited number of
publication is available on high temperature lead-free alternative solders to replace high …

In the last decade, several studies have been developed on lead-free alloys as potential
candidates to replace Sn–Pb alloys in soldering processes. Sn–Mg alloys arise as …

Corrosion has become a frequent and significant issue in the electronics industry. For this
reason, galvanic corrosion of soldered joints, ie when solder alloys are in contact with a …
