Corrosion Behavior Analysis of Novel Sn-2.5Ag-1.0Bi-0.8Cu-0.05Ni and Sn-1.8Bi-0.75Cu-0.065Ni Pb-Free Solder Alloys via Potentiodynamic Polarization Test by Sang Hoon Jung, Jong-Hyun Lee

“…The corrosion behaviors of newly developed solder alloys with excellent mechanical properties, Sn-2.5 Ag-1.0 Bi-0.8 Cu-0.05 Ni (SABC25108N) and Sn-1.5 Bi-0.75 Cu-0.065 Ni (SBC15075N), are analyzed to supplement the corrosion behavior of the limited corrosion data in Pb- and Zn-free solder compositions. A potentiodynamic polarization test is conducted on these compositions in a NaCl electrolyte solution, the results of which are compared with those of conventional Sn-3.0 (wt%) Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-1.2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni alloys. …”
