Metal Microstructure

In Pb-free Al-Sn welding of electrolytic parts, single-crystal Sn whiskers easily form and can cause problems such as short circuits. Here we report that the growth of Sn whiskers in the weld zone of Al electrolytic condenser leads was suppressed in a vacuum environment. We examined the effect of the environment and weld metal microstructure in order to understand how to control and prevent whisker growth. In vacuum, the weld zone did not form whiskers after more than 100 h, whereas in air, whiskers grew within several hours. This suggests that whiskers require oxygen to form. The growth can be explained by the energy balance between the potential energy of the weld metal and the surface energy of the whisker. Our results will contribute to developing techniques for suppressing the formation of Sn whiskers during the percussion welding of Al electrolytic capacitor leads.

The Sn whisker growth in Cu(top)-Sn(bottom) bilayer system upon room temperature aging was investigated by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction techniques. The experimental observations indicate that the Sn whisker growth on the Cu surface in Cu-Sn bilayer system is different from that on the Sn surface in Sn-Cu bilayer system. When the Sn sublayer thickness is less than 0.5μm, the Sn whisker growth can take place in Cu-Sn system but not in Sn-Cu system. An explanation for Sn whisker growth in Cu-Sn bilayer system is given.
