The Au-In-Sb system belongs to the group of potential candidates for new lead-free solder materials. Therefore, a lot of investigations concerning its phase diagram and thermodynamic, mechanical, physical characteristics are going on at the moment. Having in mind the significance of such materials application in electronics, it is also very important to study their electrochemical characteristics. In order to give such a characterization, the results of cyclic voltammetry measurements for some alloys in the Au-In-Sb system are presented in this paper.

Abstract Studies on medium to high strain-rate characterization (≥ 0.1s−1) of lead-free solder are relatively few, primarily due to the lack of available methods for testing. Prior work in literature uses Split Hopkinson Bar (SPHB) experiments for high strain-rate characterization (≥ 300s−1) [1,2], while a modified micro-scale tester is used for medium strain-rate characterization (0.005s−1 to 300s−1) [3] and an impact hammer test setup for testing in a strain-rate regime from 1s−1 to 100s−1 [4]. However, there is still limited data in strain-rate regimes of relevance, specifically for drop shock applications. In this paper, we present orthogonal metal cutting as a novel method to characterize lead-free solder alloys. Experiments are carried out using a wedgelike tool that cuts through a work piece at a fixed depth and rake angle while maintaining a constant cutting velocity. These experiments are conducted at room temperature on Sn1.0Ag0.5Cu bulk test specimens with strain-rates varying from 0.32 to 48s−1. The range of strain-rates is only limited by the ball screw driven slide allowing higher strain-rates if needed. The strains and strain-rates are captured through Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) using sequential images taken from a high-speed camera just ahead of the cutting tool. The PIV enables non-contact recording of high strain-rate deformations, while the dynamometer on the cutting head allows one to capture the forces exerted during the cutting process. Results for the stress-strain response obtained through the experiments are compared to prior work for validation. Orthogonal metal cutting is shown to be a potentially attractive method for characterization of solder at higher strain-rates.
