Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of solders, and particularly relates to a five - element composite solder with low melting point and high wettability, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional fusion welding melts the surfaces of the metal parts to be joined to form a molten pool, and after cooling and solidifying, a weld is formed to join the metal parts; after using a solder, the solder is heated to a certain temperature and melted, filled in the gap between the metal parts to be joined, and after cooling and solidifying, the two metal parts are welded together to achieve electrical and mechanical connections.

[0003] With the requirements in aspects such as environmental protection, human health, and industry development, lead - free solders such as Sn - 0.7Cu solder and Sn - 3.5Ag have been applied. However, the melting points of such lead - free solders are relatively high. For example, the melting point of Sn - 0.7Cu solder is , and the melting point of Sn - 3.5Ag solder is , both of which are above 200°C. This means that a relatively high soldering temperature is required during soldering. The high soldering temperature can damage heat - sensitive packaging materials and temperature - sensitive electronic components, which limits the further application of lead - free solders. In recent years, researchers have turned their attention to solders with lower melting points, such as , , - based solders. Such low - melting - point lead - free solders can be applied at lower soldering temperatures, reducing the thermal impact on the materials being soldered during the soldering process, reducing problems such as material deformation and performance degradation caused by high temperatures, avoiding thermal damage to sensitive electronic devices, minimizing soldering defects such as warping and open soldering generated during the production soldering process, reducing thermal stress, and thus obtaining a higher production qualification rate. In addition, the lower soldering temperature is conducive to reducing energy costs, reducing the requirements for heating equipment, meeting the requirements of sustainable development. The melting and solidification processes of low - melting - point solders are relatively fast, making it easy to control the soldering time and temperature, which makes the soldering process more stable. SnBiInZn - type low - melting - point lead - free solders have shown great application potential and value in the field of the electronics industry.

[0004] However, there is currently little research on SnBiInZn-based low-melting-point lead-free solders at home and abroad. The regulation of the Zn content in SnBiInZn solders remains a problem worthy of attention. This is because Zn has a strong binding ability with O. When the Zn-containing solder melts, Zn easily forms an oxide film on the surface of the solder. The oxide film will hinder the spreading of the solder, reduce the wettability of the solder, lower the solderability of the solder, hinder the good bonding between the solder and the substrate material, and is not conducive to achieving good mechanical and electrical connections. During welding, the use of protective gases such as argon can isolate the solder from the air and reduce the formation of the oxide film. However, this method increases the complexity of welding. Improving the solder itself can solve the problems caused by the oxide film from the source. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In order to make the invention purpose, features, and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] In view of the fact that currently, SnBiInZn-based low-melting-point lead-free solders are prone to form oxide films during welding, resulting in performance defects such as poor wettability of SnBiInZn solders; this technical solution provides a five-element composite solder with a low melting point and high wettability. The composition of the five-element composite solder includes Bi, In, Zn, and Ag; among them, the atomic ratio of Sn, Bi, In, and Zn is 1:0.5~1.5:0.5~1.5:0.1~0.3.

[0039] The general formula of the five-element composite solder with a low melting point and high wettability provided by this application can be , where y = 0.5~1.5, z = 0.5~1.5, w = 0.1~0.3. Further preferably, y = 1, z = 1, w = 0.2; in this technical solution of this application, silver Ag is introduced into the SnBiInZn-based low-melting-point lead-free solder. The introduction of Ag in the solder can react with the easily oxidized element Zn to form compounds such as , on the one hand, this can be dispersed in the solder matrix, playing a role in heterogeneous nucleation, which is beneficial to the refinement of the microstructure and plays a strengthening role. On the other hand, it reduces the occurrence of Zn oxidation to form an oxide film. This makes the five-element composite solder provided by this technical solution of this application have good wettability, can spread well, and can be smoothly filled into the gap, and can form a good bond with the metal parts to be connected. The solder joint has high bonding strength, small contact resistance of the solder joint, and can maintain stable signal transmission after welding electronic components, realizing good electrical and mechanical connections, thereby overcoming the performance defects such as poor wettability of SnBiInZn solders and improving the performance of the solder.

[0040] Preferably, in the quinary composite solder provided by the technical solution of the present application, the doping amount of Ag can be 0.5-10 wt%, more preferably the Ag doping amount can be 1.5-6 wt%, and still more preferably the Ag doping amount can be 3-6 wt%; for example, after mixing Sn, Bi, In and Zn according to an atomic ratio of 1:1:1:0.2, and then doping 0.5-10 g of Ag into every 100 g of the mixed particles of Sn, Bi, In and Zn; however, when the Ag doping amount is 1.5 wt%, the mechanical properties such as the ultimate tensile strength of the solder decrease significantly, while when the Ag doping amount is 3 wt%, the mechanical properties such as the ultimate tensile strength of the solder are better, with a small wetting angle and a high spreading rate, and can form excellent electrical and mechanical connections for the metal components to be connected.

[0041] Correspondingly, the present application also provides a preparation method of the above quinary composite solder. The preparation method adopts a molten salt smelting method, which avoids the oxidation of raw materials such as Zn; the process of the molten salt smelting method is that after melting KCl and LiCl molten salts, Sn particles, Bi particles, In particles, Zn particles and Ag particles are added to the molten molten salts. Due to factors such as gravity and density, metal particles such as Sn particles will deposit on the lower layer of the molten molten salts, obtaining quinary metal micron particles covered with a molten salt layer on the surface, isolating oxygen for smelting, and after smelting, remelting can remove impurities such as molten salts to obtain the quinary composite solder.

[0042] Preferably, the present application also provides the application of the above quinary composite solder. Taking the copper plate commonly used in electronic components as an example in the application process; select the copper sheet as the substrate, place the above low-melting-point and high-wetting quinary composite solder and flux at the position where the copper sheet needs to be welded, and use a reflow soldering machine for reflow soldering. During the reflow soldering process, due to the low-melting-point and high-wetting quinary composite solder provided by the present application, the melting point is at about, and the reflow soldering temperature is usually higher than the melting point , so the reflow soldering temperature can be controlled at nearby; This temperature has little influence on the metal components to be welded, so the quinary composite solder provided by the present application is suitable for welding heat-sensitive electronic components and has a wide application range; when the doping amount of silver in the quinary composite solder is not high, for example, when 3 wt% of silver is doped, the reflow soldering temperature can be controlled at around 112-125 °C, and when the doping amount of silver in the quinary composite solder is not high, for example, when 6 wt% of silver is doped, the reflow soldering temperature can be controlled at nearby.
