In this study, a new manufacturing process for a multilayer-clad electrical contact material is suggested. A thin and dense BCuP-5 (Cu-15Ag-5P filler metal) coating layer is fabricated on a Ag plate using a high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) process. Subsequently, the microstructure and bonding properties of the HVOF BCuP-5 coating layer are evaluated. The thickness of the HVOF BCuP-5 coating layer is determined as 34.8 ㎛, and the surface fluctuation is measured as approximately 3.2 ㎛. The microstructure of the coating layer is composed of Cu, Ag, and Cu-Ag-Cu3P ternary eutectic phases, similar to the initial BCuP-5 powder feedstock. The average hardness of the coating layer is 154.6 HV, which is confirmed to be higher than that of the conventional BCuP-5 alloy. The pull-off strength of the Ag/BCup-5 layer is determined as 21.6 MPa. Thus, the possibility of manufacturing a multilayer-clad electrical contact material using the HVOF process is also discussed.

Environmental and health concerns over the lead have led to investigation of the alternative Pb-free solders to replace commonly used Pb-Sn solders in microelectronic packaging application. The leading candidates for lead-free solder alloys are presently the near eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu alloys. Therefore, extensive studies on reliability related with the composition have been reported. However, the insufficient drop property of the near eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu alloys has demanded solder compositions of low Ag content. In addition, the solder interconnections in automobile applications like a smart box require significantly improved vibration resistance. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of alloying elements (Ag, Bi, In) on the vibration fatigue strength. The vibration fatigue was conducted in 10~1000Hz frequency and 20Grms. The interface of the as-soldered cross section close to the Cu pad indicated the intermetallic compound ($Cu_6Sn_5$) regardless of solder composition. The type and thickness of IMC was not significantly changed after the vibration test. It indicates that no thermal activities occurred significantly during vibration. Furthermore, as a function of alloying composition, the vibration crack path was investigated with a focus on the IMCs. Vibration crack was initiated from the fillet surface of the heel for QFP parts and from the plating layer of chip parts. Regardless of the solder composition, the crack during a vibration test was propagated as same as that during a thermal fatigue test.

Zinc coatings provide the most effective and economical way of protecting steel against corrosion. There are three types of galvanizing lines typically used in production line in galvanizing industries,Galvanize (GI) coating (Zn-0.1-0.3%Al), Galfan coating (Zn-5%Al), Galvalume(GL) coating (45%Zn-Al). In continuous Galvanizing lines, the immersed bath hardware (e.g. bearings, sink, stabilizer, and corrector rolls, and also support roll arms and snout tip) are subjected to corrosion and wear failure. Understanding the reaction of these materials with the molten Zn alloy is becomes scientific and commercial interest. To investigate the reaction with molten Zn alloys, static immersion test performed for 4, 8, 16, and 24 Hr. Two different baths used for the static immersion, which are molten Zn and molten Zn-55%Al. Microstructures characterization of each of the materials and intermetallic layer formed in the reaction zone was performed using optical microscope, SEM and EDS. The thickness of the reaction layer is examined using image analysis to determine the kinetics of the reaction. The phase dominated by two distinct phase which are eutectic carbide and matrix. The morphology of the intermetallic phase formed by molten Zn is discrete phase showing high dissolution of the material, and the intermetallic phase formed by Zn-55wt%Al is continuous. Aluminum reacts readily with the materials compare to Zinc, forming iron aluminide intermetallic layer ($Fe_2Al_5$) at the interface and leaving zinc behind.

Ball grid array (BGA) substrate 상의 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$Au/5 $\mu\textrm{m}$Ni/Cu 층으로 구성된 접촉 패드(pad)와 In-15(wt.%)Pb-5Ag 솔더 볼 사이에서 리플로우 및 고상 시효동안 일어나는 금속학적 반응 특성이 조사되었다. 1-5 분의 리플로우 시간에 따라 솔더/패드 계면에서 $AuIn_2$ 또는 Ni-In 금속간 화합물층이 형성됨이 관찰되었다. 리플로우 동안 용융 In-l5Pb-5Ag 솔더 내로의 Au 층의 용해 속도는 $2\times 10^{-3}$ $\mu\textrm{m}$/sec 정도로 측정되어 공정 Sn-37Pb와 비교하여 매우 느린 것으로 관찰되었다. $130^{\circ}C$에서 500시간의 고상 시효 후에는 초기 리플로우 시간에 관계없이 $Ni_{28}In_{72}$ 금속간 화합물층이 약 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$까지 성장하였다. 이를 통하여 솔더 합금에서의 In 원자들은 아래의 Ni 층과 반응하기 위하여 리플로우 동안 형성된 $AuIn_2$상을 통하여 확산하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 미세구조 관찰과 전단 시험을 통하여 In-l5Pb-5Ag합금의 경우는 Sn-37Pb 조성과는 달리 Au/Ni surface finish 상에 사용시에도 솔더 접합부에서의 Au-embrittlement를 야기 시키지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.
