Abstract:
Effect of Ni content on microstructure and shear properties of In-48Sn solder joints was studied. The results showed that Ni particles could inhibit growth of interfacial IMC and refine microstructure of weld. With the increase of Ni content, thickness of interfacial IMC gradually decreased from 4.01 μm to 2.83 μm, and microstructure of In48Sn-45Ni composite solder joint was the finest. Ni particles could improve shear strength of In-48Sn solder joints, and shear strength of composite solder joints increased first and then decreased with the increase of Ni content. When mass fraction of Ni was 45%, shear strength reached a peak of 9.76 MPa due to Ni particles hindering dislocations and refining tissues, as well as interfacial IMC reaching appropriate thickness.
