The influence of Sn-based alloys heat treatment on their tendency to the tin pest phenomenon

Michalcová Alena - University of Chemical Technology in Prague (Czech Republic)

After prohibition of lead utilization, the soldering materials are jeopardized by the tin pest phenomenon, which is the low temperature phase transformation of tin. In this contribution, the influence of heat treatment on the tendency to the tin pest will be described. The focus will be on Sn-Cu and Sn-Zn alloys, that serve as a basis for lead-free soldering materials.
