Fabrication of Novel Geopolymer Reinforced Tin Copper Solder in Suppressing Intermetallic Layer Growth

View through CrossRef
Abstract Currently, lead-free composite solder technology system is the new approach that have been considered as a promising replacement for toxic SnPb solder alloy. Sn-0.7Cu was used as matrix solder alloy while fly ash geopolymer and kaolin geopolymer with different compositions (0.5 wt.%, 1.0 wt.%, and 1.5 wt.%) was added as a reinforcement to increase the properties of solder alloy. The solder composite was prepared by using powder metallurgy method which consist of mixing, compaction, and sintering process via microwave oven. Microwave sintering approach results in more uniform heating, lower pore coarsening with cost-effective and energy efficiency. The chemical composition and morphology of geopolymer reinforcement was analysed by using X-ray Flourescene and Scanning Electron Microscope. The influences of the geopolymer particulates in the monolithic matrix solder on the interfacial intermetallic compound thickness and wettability were investigated by using optical microscope, while the specific value was measured by using J-image software. The melting point temperature were investigated by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The influences of adding types of geopolymer particulates into Sn-0.7Cu lead free solder were investigated in terms of interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and thermal properties. It is noted that several addition of fly ash geopolymer and kaolin geopolymer particles can remarkably supressed the thickness of intermetallic layer between composite solder and the substrate and thus gives higher melting temperature but somehow certain composition resulted low in mechanical properties. Overall, the addition of 0.5 wt.% of kaolin geopolymer reinforcements into Sn-0.7Cu lead-free improved all the listed properties of the solder materials.
