Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of welding material preparation, and particularly relates to a lead-free tin-based solder alloy with a high entropy phase, a preparation method thereof and special smelting equipment.
Background
With the progress of global electronic packaging industry in green, the use of conventional lead-containing solders has been strictly limited by regulations such as the european union RoHS (directive on the use of certain harmful substances in electric and electronic devices) due to environmental toxicity problems. Although the current mainstream lead-free solder system such as Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) alloy can meet the conventional packaging requirement, the conventional Sn-based alloy still has a remarkable technical bottleneck in the field of low-temperature micro-connection, and the conventional Sn-based alloy is easy to cause atom directional migration due to the thermal-electric coupling effect in the long-term service process, so that an intermetallic compound (IMC) layer of a welding spot interface is abnormally thickened and grows as whiskers, and the mechanical reliability and the conductive stability of a device are remarkably reduced. In the emerging low-temperature packaging scenes of flexible electronics, biomedical devices and the like, the existing solder is easy to damage a heat sensitive substrate due to the fact that the melting point is higher (180 ℃), so that the failure risk of the electronics is greatly improved.
Currently, low temperature solder development focuses on binary alloy systems (e.g., sn-Bi, sn-In, etc.), improving wettability by micro doping. However, the single main element solder cannot give consideration to the toughness of the material, and the breakthrough improvement of the comprehensive performance is restricted. In recent years, the design concept of multi-principal element alloy (including high-entropy alloy, medium-entropy alloy and the like) based on multi-principal element synergistic effect provides a new direction for solder innovation. The peculiar lattice distortion effect of the multi-principal element alloy can obviously prevent the migration and diffusion of atoms, improve the toughness of the brazing filler metal, and the cocktail effect is beneficial to optimizing the morphology regulation of interface IMC. However, since most of the elements have limited solid solubility in tin matrix, the phases (e.g., inSn 4, etc.) in the existing multi-principal element tin-based solders contain only 2 to 3 elements, and a high-entropy solid solution phase containing 5 elements cannot be formed in the solder to fully exert the characteristics of the high-entropy alloy. Therefore, the multi-principal element lead-free tin-based solder alloy which can realize excellent welding performance under the low-temperature condition and has high entropy strengthening effect is developed, and has important technical significance and application value for meeting urgent requirements of high-performance and low-temperature sensitive welding materials in the electronic packaging industry.
