The percentages were 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 % as well as the base solder containing 0.0% of nanoparticles addition.

The Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, for that the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.5Al2O3 recorded a melting temperature of 222.22°C, the same pattern of decrease in the melting temperature with the addition of the nanoparticle reinforcement was observed for the Sn-9Zn. The XRD as well as SEM analysis results showcased the existence of important IMC such as Cu6Sn5 indicating the reaction of the wetted solder. The microstructure and the IMC recorded a decrease as well in size and in clarity as well as magnitude of appearance. The maximum shear strength supported that both of the solders with the added 0.3% of Al2O3 reflected the highest shear strength and an encouraging result in regard to failure pattern. The lowest contact angle figure recorded was 37.82° and 41.39° for the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.3Al2O3 as well as for the Sn-9Zn-0.5Al2O3. All of these results have given a clear idea of the abilities of the reinforced soldering alloys and thus weather or not they are to be considered as a potential replacement for the currently excessively relied on lead free soldering alloys. 2022-10 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/11538/ http://erep.mmu.edu.my/ masters Multimedia University Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) EREP ID: 10865
