Abstract

Interfacial reactions and growth kinetics of intermetallic compound layers formed between Sn–9Zn solder and electroplated Fe–42Ni metallization were investigated after ageing at 120, 150 and 170 ◦C for up to 360 h. Experimental results show that the intermetallic compound formed at the interface was mainly δ-FeZn_8.87 phase, rather than the FeSn₂ phase. The reason is that the attraction between Zn and Fe is stronger than that of Sn and Fe. The growth exponent n for δ-FeZn_8.87 phase was found to be about 0.5, indicating that it grew by a diffusion-controlled process. The activation energy for the growth of δ-FeZn_8.87 phase was determined to be 42 kJ/mol, which is in good agreement with the reported data.
