Addition Of Cobalt Nanoparticles Into Sn-3.8ag-0.7cu Lead-Free Solder By Paste Mixing
Addition Of Cobalt Nanoparticles Into Sn-3.8ag-0.7cu Lead-Free Solder By Paste Mixing
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of addition Co nanoparticles on the characteristic properties of Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solder. Design/methodology/approach - Cobalt (Co) nanoparticles were added to Sn-Ag-Cu solders by thoroughly blending various weight percentages (0-2.0 wt%) of Co nanoparticles with near eutectic SAC387 solder paste. Blending was done mechanically for 30 min to ensure a homogeneous mixture. The paste mixture was then reflowed on a hot plate at 250°C for 45 s. The melting points of nanocomposite solder were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Spreading rate of nanocomposite was calculated following the JIS Z3198-3 standard. …
