Effect of Oxygen on Surface Tension of Liquid Ag-Sn Alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of oxygen on the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys used as one of the main components in lead-free soldering alloys was measured by the sessile drop method. The surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys decreased with increasing tin content. The effect of oxygen was investigated for oxygen partial pressure ranging from about 10 17 to 10 12 atm. The effect of oxygen on the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys is closer to pure tin rather than pure silver. Thermodynamic simulation using Butler’s equation showed that the surface of liquid Ag-Sn alloys is enriched with tin. Accordingly, the effect of oxygen adsorption on the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys was considered to be closer to that of tin than silver.

Database of Pb - free soldering materials, surface tension and density, experiment vs. Modeling
Experimental studies of surface tension and density by the maximum bubble pressure method and dilatometric technique were undertaken and the accumulated data for liquid pure components, binary, ternary and multicomponent alloys were used to create the SURDAT data base for Pb-free soldering materials. The data base enabled, also to compare the experimental results with those obtained by the Butl...

A simple model based on the concept of a layered structure near the interface has been used to investigate the surface tension and surface segregation of SnPb and SnZn molten alloys. With increasing concentration of Sn, the surface tension (a) of SnPb alloys has been found to increase, while a of SnZn alloys decreases, a of both systems is smaller than the ideal value ZC, a,. Our study reveals ...
متن کاملStudy of the Mechanism and Causes of Pore Formation in Sr-modified Al-Si Alloys
The formation of microporosity in modified Al-Si alloys has been reviewed in the present study. A major concern in modification is the increased tendency to form microporosity in the macro-shrinkage free Al-Si alloy castings. It has also been demonstrated that at low hydrogen contents (0.1cc/ 100g, Al), where only shrinkage porosity should occur, the effect of Sr-modification on porosity conten...

In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...
