Abstract

Creep properties of three Sn–Zn solder alloys (Sn–9Zn, Sn–20Zn, and Sn–25Zn, wt%) were studied using the impression creep technique. Microstructural characteristics were examined using a scanning electron microscope. The alloys exhibited stress exponents of about 5.0. The activation energy for creep was calculated to be ~50–75 kJ/mol with a mean value of 66.3 kJ/mol. The likely creep mechanism was identified to be the low temperature viscous glide of dislocations.
