Phase change materials provide desirable characteristics for latent heat thermal energy
storage by keeping the high energy density and quasi isothermal working temperature …

Abstract Al–Sn–Si alloys have been widely used as bearing alloys in automotive engines. In
those alloys, β (Sn) phase serves as the solid lubricant and Si particles are used to improve …

The effect of rapid solidification upon hypereutectic Sn–Ag solder alloy has been
investigated using a 6.5 m drop tube. Powder sizes ranging from> 850 to< 38 μ m were …

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 …

Sn-Mg alloys are potential Pb-free solder options. However, their mechanical strength and
interfacial characteristics with electronic substrates remain barely understood. This study …

This study applies the reflow optimization process to investigate the phenomenon of spalling
in aerospace backward compatibility solder joints when utilized with a Ni substrate …

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 …

The structural, surface and transport properties of Sn–Ag alloys were investigated by X-ray
diffraction (XRD), radial heat flow, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, scanning …

Lead and the compounds containing lead are regarded as toxic substances because of their
hazardous influences on the environment and humans (Mahmudi et al, 2008; 2009; 2010) …

Al-Sn alloys have high corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity*, and abrasion resistance.
They are also environmentally friendly (Pb-free), cheap, economical, and suitable for the …
