Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun Aug 2006

Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun

Journal of Electrochemistry

A two-layered structure of eutectic-solid sulotion is formed in the microstructure of Pb-Sn alloy obtained from quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition.It is showed that this unique structure is caused by the variation of the current density on the growth interface.When the interface is located in the front of the whole deposits,the current density is high.So the Pb and Sn can deposit together and the eutectic texture forms.When the interface is in the rear of the whole deposits,the current density is low.At this moment the electrodeposition of Pb is the dominant reaction,and the Pb-based solid solution appears.
