摘要

To address the demand for lead-free solders in electronic packaging and overcome Sn-Cu alloys’ high melting point and insufficient mechanical properties, this study prepared Sn-0.7Cu-0.1Te-xBi solders (x = 0,2,3,4 wt%) via Te-Bi composite microalloying combined with resistance melting and directional solidification, investigating their microstructure, post-welding interfacial features, mechanical properties, and conductivity. Results showed Bi refined the β-Sn phase and modified Cu6Sn5 morphology. Directional solidification suppressed Bi segregation to realize a uniform component solid solution, while resistance melting easily caused Bi precipitation at grain boundaries. For directional solidification, 3 wt% Bi was optimal—the solder had 65 MPa tensile strength and good ductility, with a continuous, defect-free scallop-like intermetallic compound layer after welding. For resistance melting, 4 wt% Bi obtained the best hardness of 33.3 HV and tensile strength of 82.03 MPa, but ductility degraded sharply with only 8.86% elongation. Regarding conductivity, directional solidification solder resistivity rose steadily with Bi content, while resistance melting solder resistivity first increased then decreased. This study clarifies the solder’s optimal composition and process, supporting high-performance Sn-Cu-based lead-free solder development.
