This paper presents the microstructure, hardness and elastic modulus of Sn58Bi, Sn57Bi1Ag and Ag nanopowders reinforced Sn58Bi composite solders. Microstructural observations reveal that the Ag nanopowders reinforced Sn58Bi composite solders have smaller grains of Ag3Sn and a more uniform Ag3Sn distribution in comparison with those of Sn57Bi1Ag solder. Nanoindentation test results show that the addition of Ag nanopowders has greatly enhanced the mechanical properties of Sn58Bi solder, i.e., it exhibits 13-30% increase in hardness and 10-22% increase in modulus of the composite solder. Besides, hardness and elastic modulus of solder are dependent on the size, distribution and the quantity of the second-phase.

The evolution of microstructure and microhardness of Sn-Ag and Sn-Cu solders during high temperature aging
The changes in microstructure and microhardness of Sn-0.5%Ag, Sn-1.0%Ag, and Sn-0.7%Cu Pb-free solders were investigated during high temperature aging at 200°C for 2 h. As-solidified microstructures, revealed by cross-polarized light microscopy, consist of relatively large grains of β-Sn phase with twinned microstructure in both Sn-Ag and Sn-Cu solders. The bright-field light microscopy display...
