Abstract: The effects of the atomizing pressure on the microstructures and properties of the lead-free solder powder by the supersonic atomizer method were investigated. The microstructures of the brazed joint of solder paste were also observed. The results showed that with increasing atomizing pressures from 0.4 to 0.7 MPa, the powder particles are refined significantly and the effective atomization efficiency increases rapidly, but the oxygen content slightly rises. When the atomizing pressures increases from 0.7 to 0.9 MPa, the effective atomization efficiency only increases slightly, meanwhile both sphericity and roughness of the powder deteriorate. The atomized powder exhibits high effective atomizing efficiency, uniform size distribution, good sphericity and smooth surface when the atomizing pressure is 0.7 MPa. The diffusion layer brazed welded by Sn3Ag2.8Cu paste with Cu substrate is thicker and more irregular than that of by Sn37Pb paste.

Abstract: An investigation on the melt delivery tube tip pressure and the effective atomizing efficiency of atomizing powder was carried out. The results show that all of melt delivery tube tip pressures are negative value in the atomization gas pressure range of 0.4~0.9 MPa, and they monotonously increase with increasing the atomizing pressure; when the atomizing pressure is higher than 0.7 MPa, the negative pressure of the melt delivery tube tip is slowly increasing with continuously increasing the atomizing pressure; the atomized powder possesses higher effective atomizing efficiency, more uniform size distribution, better sphericity and smoother surface at the atomizing pressure of 0.7 MPa and the pressure of the melt delivery tube tip of -39.44 kPa.
