Abstract
A series of indium-bismuth-tin-silver alloys containing up to 5 wt. % silver were quenched from melt by chill-block melt-spin technique. The resultant ribbons were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray, and deferential scanning calorimetry techniques. Structural, Mechanical and thermal correlations were discussed and reviewed for In-Bi-Sn-Ag Fields metal alloy systems. The results are interpreted in terms of the phase changes occurring in the alloy system. It is found that melting point, solidus and liquidus temperatures of the solder alloys are lowered as the Ag content is increased. With the addition of Ag, the In rich phase is finer in size, and the intermetallic compounds are more uniformly distributed. As a result, Youngs modulus and microhardness of In-Bi-Sn are increased when Ag is added into the solder alloy. It is also , concluded that from our results, the present work relates to a melting temperature adjustable metal thermal interface material (TIM) applicable to an interface between a microelectronic packaging component and a heat dissipation device, so as to facilitate the heat dissipation of the microelectronic component.

Effect of rapid solidification on microstructure, creep resistance and thermal properties of Sn-10 wt.% Sb- 3 wt.% X ( X= In, Ag, Bi and Zn) lead-free solder alloys
The harmful effects of lead on the environment and human health, coupled with the threat of legislation, have prompted a serious search of lead-free solders for electronic packaging applications. The melt-spinning proces...
A proposed physical analog of a quantum amplitude: Corkscrew model from the Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW)
This article proposes solutions to two riddles of quantum mechanics (QM): (1) What is the physical analog of aquantum amplitude?, (2) Why do electrons in a double slit experiment act differently if we look at them? The T...
On Spectral-Homotopy Perturbation Method Solution of Nonlinear Differential Equations in Bounded Domains
In this study, a combination of the hybrid Chebyshev spectral technique and the homotopy perturbation method is used to construct an iteration algorithm for solving nonlinear boundary value problems. Test problems are so...
Paul Diracs view of the Theory of Elementary Waves
Is science open to a new idea? Thomas Kuhn says paradigm shifts sound like gibberish to scientific leaders, and are rejected for that reason. The Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) is such an idea: quantum particles follow...
An Explanation for the Equality between Inertia and Gravitational Mass
The mechanism causing the equality of inertia and gravitational mass of a body, which was demonstrated experimentally by Eotvos in 1909 is still unexplained although this equality is the basis of Einsteins General Theory...
