TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tin paste production and processing, and relates to an anti-high-temperature-oxidation tin paste and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key electronic assembly material in surface mount technology (SMT), tin paste is mainly composed of solder alloy powder, flux and rheological modifier, and is widely used in the welding of electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCB). The performance of tin paste directly affects the stability of the welding process, the reliability of the welding point and the quality of the final electronic product. With the development of electronic devices towards miniaturization, high density and high performance, the welding process puts forward more stringent requirements on the performance of tin paste, especially under the trend of lead-free, the welding temperature is generally increased, which poses a severe challenge to the high-temperature stability of tin paste.
[0003] In the reflow welding process, tin paste needs to go through a high-temperature environment. The existing tin paste solder alloy powder (such as SAC305 and other tin-based alloys) is prone to oxidation at high temperatures, and a dense oxide film is generated on the surface. This oxidation process can seriously weaken the welding activity of tin paste, causing its wettability and spreading ability to rapidly decrease during the high-temperature holding stage. Specifically, the solder powder particles or between the pads cannot be fully fused, forming independent and smooth solder balls (i.e., "grape ball" phenomenon, because the activity of the flux is exhausted too early, the oxides on the surface of the metal powder cannot be fully removed, and the molten tin liquid cannot spread smoothly due to the excessive surface tension, but instead gathers into balls), resulting in welding defects such as virtual welding, bridge short circuit; at the same time, the effective solder is consumed and impurities are generated due to oxidation, which directly affects the mechanical strength, electrical conductivity and long-term reliability of the welding point.
[0004] Although the existing technology attempts to alleviate this problem by optimizing the flux formula (such as adding more active reducing agents) or improving the solder powder preparation process (such as reducing the oxygen content), these methods often have limitations. For example, excessive enhancement of the activity of the flux may cause corrosion risk or residue problems, and simple low-oxygen control of the solder powder is also difficult to completely resist oxidation under long-time high-temperature exposure. Therefore, the existing tin paste generally lacks high-temperature oxidation resistance when dealing with continuous high-temperature processes, and it is difficult to maintain long-lasting welding activity, which becomes a technical bottleneck for high-reliability welding, especially in complex process scenarios such as multi-temperature zone, long hot air reflow or the need for secondary reflow.
[0005] Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of modern electronic product manufacturing for high reliability and high yield, it is urgent to develop a new type of tin paste and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY
[0006] To address the above shortcomings, this invention provides a high-temperature oxidation-resistant solder paste and its preparation method, solving the technical problem of insufficient high-temperature oxidation resistance of existing solder pastes. It significantly improves the solder paste's oxidation resistance under high-temperature environments, thereby ensuring long-term stability of soldering activity and effectively inhibiting the generation of soldering defects such as grape-like inclusions.

[0010] Preferably, the flux further includes the following components by weight percentage of the total flux: 40%–70% hydrogenated rosin, 1%–5% organic acid activator, 1%–4% thixotropic agent, 0.1%–2% antioxidant synergist, and the balance being solvent.

[0012] Preferably, the thixotropic agent is at least one of hydrogenated castor oil, modified organobentonite, and polyamide wax; and the solvent is one of dipropylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, and turpentine.
[0013] Preferably, a method for preparing high-temperature resistant solder paste as described above includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of high temperature polymerized shielding agent: dissolve polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30) in part of the solvent, heat to 60-80℃ and stir until completely dissolved, slowly add the melted hydrogenated castor oil under high speed shearing at 600-700 r / min, emulsify and disperse evenly, and cool for later use. (2) Preparation of metal chelate antioxidant: propyl gallate (PG) and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA-2Na) are ground together in a mortar for 10-20 min to obtain uniform metal chelate antioxidant powder; (3) Preparation of flux: Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, rosin is heated to 120-150℃ and completely melted, then cooled to 60-80℃, and organic acid activator, antioxidant synergist, heat collapse regulator, high temperature polymerization shielding agent, high temperature antioxidant, corrosion inhibitor antioxidant and metal chelate antioxidant powder prepared in step (2) are added in sequence. After stirring evenly, the temperature is cooled to 40-50℃, thixotropic agent and remaining solvent are added, and high speed dispersion and homogenization are carried out until the system is uniform and transparent. Cool to room temperature to obtain uniform flux. (4) Preparation of coarse solder paste: Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, the solder alloy powder and the flux prepared in step (3) are mechanically stirred and mixed to obtain a uniform paste; (5) Grinding and degassing: Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, the paste from step (4) is ground by three rollers, then vacuum degassing is performed, and then it is left to stand and mature at 15-25°C for 12-20 hours to obtain the high-temperature resistant tin oxide paste.
[0014] Preferably, in step (3), the rotation speed of the high-speed dispersion homogenization is 1000-1500 r / min, and the time is 100-180 min.
[0015] Preferably, in step (4), the stirring conditions for mechanical stirring are as follows: under the conditions of a temperature of 25℃±3℃ and a vacuum of -0.01 to -0.08MPa, first turn left at a speed of 5 to 15 r / min for 1 to 3 minutes, then turn right at a speed of 20 to 40 r / min for 2 to 3 minutes, stir for 60 to 90 minutes, then increase the speed to 40 to 50 r / min and turn left for 2 to 4 minutes, then turn right at a speed of 55 to 70 r / min for 3 to 5 minutes, and the total stirring time is 150 to 160 minutes.
[0016] The present invention achieves at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention improves solder paste by adding polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether 300 and propylene glycol phenyl ether compound, resulting in good fluxing properties and the potential to increase solder joint spread rate to over 85%, while exhibiting excellent resistance to heat collapse. By adding the high-temperature antioxidant SSORB303, the solder paste's soldering activity and durability are enhanced, the proportion of solder brittle balls is significantly reduced, and the solder paste's resistance to high-temperature oxidation is improved.
[0017] 2. The present invention adds trace amounts of P, Ge, and Ga elements to solder alloy powder. Under high temperature molten state, these elements can preferentially migrate to the alloy surface and form a dense, stable composite oxide film (such as GeO2, P2O5, etc.) that is well bonded to the matrix. This protective film can effectively prevent the main elements such as Sn and Ag inside from being further oxidized, thereby significantly reducing the oxidation weight gain rate of the solder itself during the high temperature holding stage.
[0018] 3. The flux of this invention innovatively uses corrosion inhibitors and antioxidants (such as benzotriazole) to form an adsorption protective film on the surface of the solder powder during the preheating and heating stages of reflow soldering, thus delaying initial oxidation. The corrosion inhibitors and antioxidants are combined with organic acid activators to achieve a stable release of activity, avoiding the loss of protective ability due to premature consumption of active components in the high-temperature zone.
[0019] 4. This invention utilizes a high-temperature polymeric shielding agent formed by the compounding of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30) and hydrogenated castor oil. This agent constructs a dense, thermally stable, viscoelastic protective film on the surface of the solder powder, effectively blocking oxygen and delaying the initiation of oxidation. Simultaneously, a metal-chelating antioxidant (a complex of propyl gallate and disodium EDTA) strongly chelates catalytic metal ions dissolved from the solder, eliminating the catalyst for the oxidation reaction. This results in extremely low oxidation of the solder powder after the solder paste undergoes high-temperature processes at 180°C and above, effectively preserving the active components of the flux. This achieves sustained and stable soldering activity, with a stable solder joint spread rate exceeding 88%, significantly reducing cold solder joints and bush-balling caused by high-temperature deactivation. Therefore, this invention fundamentally improves the stability of solder paste in the high-temperature environment of reflow soldering through a dual synergistic mechanism of "physical shielding" and "chemical removal / chelation."
[0020] 5. The solder paste prepared by this invention exhibits excellent printability and adhesion, and maintains stable performance during long-term storage or use. The introduction of PG and EDTA-2Na further reduces the potential corrosiveness of post-soldering residues. Furthermore, PVP can decompose or carbonize at certain high temperatures, preventing the introduction of difficult-to-remove insulating residues, thus improving the long-term electrical reliability and environmental stability of the solder joints. The solder paste prepared by this invention exhibits good resistance to thermal collapse at 180℃. After heat treatment at 180℃ for 10 minutes, the minimum non-bridging pitch is ≤0.05mm, and the solder joint spread rate is ≥88%, meeting the soldering requirements under ultra-fine pitch conditions. Soldering using the solder paste of this invention results in smooth, full solder joints with a small wetting angle and uniform spread, effectively suppressing defects such as solder balls, bridging, and cold solder joints. The mechanical strength (e.g., shear resistance) and conductivity of the solder joints are improved due to low oxidation and good metallurgical bonding. Detailed Implementation

[0054] The solder paste products prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-10 were subjected to performance tests. The products were observed to see whether they collapsed and the minimum non-bridging gap after heat treatment at 180°C for 10 minutes. The viscosity was also observed after heat treatment at 60°C for 60 hours. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0055] Table 1. Solder paste performance test results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-10 In summary, the solder paste prepared by this invention exhibits excellent printability and adhesion, and maintains stable performance during long-term storage or use. The introduction of PG and EDTA-2Na further reduces the potential corrosiveness of post-soldering residues. Furthermore, PVP can decompose or carbonize at certain high temperatures, preventing the introduction of difficult-to-remove insulating residues, thus improving the long-term electrical reliability and environmental stability of solder joints. The solder paste prepared by this invention demonstrates good resistance to thermal collapse at 180°C. After heat treatment at 180°C for 10 minutes, the minimum non-bridging pitch is ≤0.05mm, and the solder joint spread rate is ≥88%, meeting the soldering requirements under ultra-fine pitch conditions. Soldering using the solder paste of this invention results in smooth, full solder joints with a small wetting angle and uniform spread, effectively suppressing defects such as solder balls, bridging, and cold solder joints. The mechanical strength (e.g., shear resistance) and conductivity of the solder joints are improved due to low oxidation and good metallurgical bonding.
