Fatigue of Lead and Lead Alloys. 1st Report

Stationary Lead-Acid Batteries With Selenium Alloys

Until ten years ago the grids of lead-acid batteries were usually made of lead-antimony alloys containing 5-11 wt. % antimony. The necessary mechanical strength and castability are easily achieved with this content of antimony. However, the unavoidable corrosion of the positive grid liberates antimony from the grid, which proves to be both unfavorable as well as unfavorable with respect to batt...

Lead-Free Wrought Copper Alloys for Bushings and Sliding Elements

Board Level Reliability Comparison of Lead Free Alloys

Board level reliability testing was used to compare six lead free alloys to tin-lead eutectic using a 98 ball Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP). The component had a 0.5mm Ball Grid Array (BGA) pitch, and Al/NiV/Cu pad metallization. Thermal cycling (4 conditions), cyclic bend (2 conditions), cyclic drop (3 conditions), and solder joint array tensile testing (3 conditions) were utilized to ...

Development of Sn-Zn-Al Lead-Free Solder Alloys

Fujitsu has implemented a company-wide effort to progressively reduce the use of lead (Pb) and eventually eliminate this environmental pollutant from its products. As part of this effort, we have developed a new lead-free solder that consists of tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), and aluminum (Al) and yet offers superior productivity and joint reliability. The new lead-free solder has a melting point equival...
