Wettability is an important factor to decide solderability of solder, flux, other soldering-related materials and soldering conditions. The wettability also affects the reliability of solder joint. Wetting balance test is a good method for quantitatively measuring wettability between solder and substrate. The wetting balance test is easy to reproduce the wetting experiment and to measure the wetting time and force. And this test provides wetting curve to calculate the surface tension of the molten solder. Development of new solder has been continued in accordance with various and harsh environment in the electronics industry. In this paper, the principle of wetting balance test and recent research issues including nano-composite solder are explained.

Recently, there has been a continuous researches on solders having sophisticated and improved performance due to demand for high-density and miniaturization of electronics, and development of solder for automotive electronics which can be used in harsh environment. When developing a new solder alloy, there is a wettability of solder on substrate for things to consider, and the wetting balance test is one of the methods for measuring that one. In this paper, the wetting balance test is introduced, and the calculus of the surface tension of solder and the contact angle between solder and substrate using wetting curve obtained is introduced too. In detail, the principle and test method of the wetting balance test, the introduction of the parameters with important meaning in the wetting curve, the method of calculating the contact angle as well as the surface tension of the solder using the shape of the solder meniscus.

Effects of non-cleaning and cleaning fluxes on the wetting properties and defects at flow soldered joints were investigated. Non-cleaning flux (R-type of 3.3% solid content) and cleaning flux (RMA-type of 15% solid content) were used. Wetting test was accomplished by wetting balance method with changing surface state of wetting specimen, CU. Sn-37%Pb solder was used for wetting test and flow soldering. As experimental results, the wetting time for vertical force from the surface tension being zero was mainly affected by surface state of the wetting specimen. Non-cleaning flux had a good wettability compared with cleaning flux. In case of non-cleaning flux, conveyor speed had a great affection to defects of bridge, icicle, and poor solder.

TSM(Top Surface Metallurgy)이 증착된 유리기판의 Pb-free 솔더에 대한 젖음성을 무플럭스하에서 wetting balance법으로 평가하였다. TSM 층의 젖음성을 단면 증착시편의 wetting balance법으로부터 도출된 새로운 젖음성 지수들로 평가할 수 있었다. 유리기판의 TSM층으로는, Cu를 젖음층으로 하고 Au를 Cu의 산화 방지 층으로 사용하는 경우가 Au 자체를 젖음층으로 사용하는 경우보다 우수하였다. SnSb 솔더는 SnAg, SnBi, SnIn 솔더보다 TSM층에 대한 젖음특성이 우수하였다. 유리기판에 단면 증착된 TSM과 Pb-free솔더의 접촉각을 $F_{s}$와 기울어짐각을 측정하고, 메니스커스의 정적 상태에서 힘의 평형으로부터 유도된 식을 이용하여 계산할 수 있었다.

The fluxless wetting properties of UBM-coated Si-wafer to the binary lead-free solders(Sn-Ag, Sn-Sb, Sjn-In, Sn0Bi) were estimated by wetting balance method. With the new wettability indices from the wetting curves of one side coated specimen, the wetting property estimation of UBM-coated Si-wafer was possible. For UBM of Si-chip, Au/Cu/Cr UBm was better than au/Ni/TI in the point of wetting time/ At general reflow process temperature, the wettability of high melting point solders(Sn-Sb, Sn-Ag) was better than that of low melting point one(Sn-Bi, Sn-In). The contact angle of the one side coated Si-plate to the solder could be calculated from the force balance equation by measuring the static state force and the tilt angle.

This research evaluates the change of the water absorbency and drying speed of a quick-drying knit fabric by repeated laundering and laundering conditions and investigates the influence of laundering conditions on the functional properties of the knit fabric. Four factors of laundering conditions were studied: detergent, water hardness, water temperature, and frequency of rotation. Knit fabrics were washed for 25 laundering cycles in a drum-type washing machine with nine different laundering conditions derived from an orthogonal array. The properties of knit fabrics were measured with a drop absorption test, a strip test, and a drying time test. Relaxation shrinkage pointed to a change in the structural characteristics of the knit fabric. Wetting time was faster and wickability was greater in the knit fabrics that underwent 5 laundering cycles; in addition, there were no obvious changes in wetting time and wickability. The detergent was the most important factor in wetting time (40.4%) and wickability (60% or above). Water hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an effect on wetting time and wickability. There were no significant differences between the levels of laundering conditions (except for detergent) on wetting time and wickability. Drying times with neutral and alkali were slower by repeated laundering; however, there was no obvious change in drying time. Hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an impact on drying time.

Si-wafer에 단면 코팅된 UBM(Under Bump Metallurgy)의 젖음성을 Sn-Pb 솔더에서 평가하기 위하여 wetting balance 법을 사용하였다. 단면 코팅된 UBM의 젖음곡선은 양면 코팅된 시편의 젖음 곡선과 비교할 때, 젖음곡선의 모양이 비슷하고 젖음곡선을 특징짓는 변수들의 온도에 대한 변화경향이 일치하였다. 단면 코팅된 금속층의 젖음성을 젖음곡선으로부터 정의한 새로운 젖음 지수 $F_{min}$, $F_{s}t_{s}$로 평가할 수 있었다. Au/Cu/Cr UBM은 젖음시간의 측면에서 Au/Ni/Ti UBM보다 젖음성이 우수하였다 Si-wafer에 단면 코팅된 UBM과 Sn-Pb 솔더의 접촉각을 $F_{s}$와 기울어짐각을 측정하고 메니스커스의 정적상태에서 힘의 평형으로부터 유도된 식을 이용하여 계산할 수 있었다.

Composites can be designed to have special properties, and even such properties that are difficult to find in nature. We propose a simple approach to realize negative expansion upon wetting, i.e., contraction upon wetting, using swelling materials. The key parameters in one-dimensional case are investigated, and the possible configurations for two and three-dimensional cases are presented. The feasibility is demonstrated through a simple test.

An experimental program of isotropic loading tests on a compacted kaolin using a conventional triaxial equipment modified for testing unsaturated soils was perform to investigate a loading collapse curve of unsaturated soils along wetting and drying paths. The test data are presented in terms of effective stress on a range of constant suction. The suction hardening behavior was observed for both wetted and dried samples. With the use of an appropriate effective stress parameter, the unique relationship for loading collapse curve for wetting and drying processes was obtained.

In this study, the compressive strength characteristics of lime-cement-soil mixtures, composed of lime, soil, and a small amount of cement, were investigated by performing the unconfined compression tests, the freezing and thawing tests, the wetting and drying tests and the permeability tests. The specimens were made by mixing soils with cement and lime. The cement contents were 0, 6, 8 and 10 %, and the lime contents were 2, 4, 5, 10, 15 and 20 % in weight. Each specimen was cured at constant temperature in a humidity room for 3, 7 and 28 days. The compressive strength characteristics of the lime-cement-soil mixtures were then investigated using the unconfined compression tests, freezing and thawing tests and the wetting and drying tests. Based on the test results, a discussion was made on the applicability of the lime-cement-soil mixtures as a construction material.
