Shear Strength of Joints Fabricated by Solders with High Indium Content

Article Preview

Abstract:

Feasibility of pure indium and solders containing high amount of indium as 70In30Sn to wet the different types of metallic and ceramic materials at application of power ultrasound was studied. The shear strength of soldered joints fabricated on metallic (Cu, Ni, Al, Ti, AISI 316 steel) and ceramic substrates was assessed. The shear strength of In solders on Al2O3 and SiC ceramic materials varied from 3.5 to 7 MPa. The shear strength on metallic materials attained from 12.5 to 71 MPa. Joint fracture in most cases occurred in the solder and was of ductile character. Failure took place by shear mechanism.
