Contents of the NPL / SGTE database

Designed for use in the calculation of phase equilibria involving solders and other low melting alloy systems.

Covers the following 12 elements

Ag, Al, Au, Bi, Cu, Ge, In, Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Zn

Contains data for Binary systems (all 66 except Au-Zn) Ternary systems (15 systems specifically assessed)

Ag-Bi-Sn, Ag-Cu-Pb, Ag-Cu-Sn, Ag-Pb-Sn, Al-Cu-Si, Al-Sn-Zn, Au-In-Pb, Bi-In-Pb, Bi-In-Sn, Bi-In-Zn, Bi-Pb-Sn, Bi-Sn-Zn, Cu-Pb-Sn, In-Pb-Sn, In-Sn-Zn

Predictions can be made of thermodynamic properties of phase equilibria for wide range of compositions in that 12 component system

Agreement between SGTE and COST531

SGTE to provide a preliminary database for use within COST531 internal research

SGTE, in return, will be able to use COST531 data.

Page 9: COST531 Joint WG1/2 meeting SGTE/ NPL Database Activities 13 June 2003 Alan Dinsdale NPL Materials Centre NPL, UK.

Database management

Need to agree on Scope of the database Unary data Key binary (and ternary ?) data Models

Prediction of surface tension

Based on the approach of Tanaka

Using the Butler equation to estimate the surface tension from bulk thermodynamic properties

Tested with success for metallic and ionic melts

Assumes an equilibrium between the bulk liquid and the surface liquid

Generalised and extended in this project to cover multicomponent systems

Tested in detail for solder systems

Uses the new database for solders

Makes use of Brian Keene’s review of experimental surface tension data for tin and lead free solders (1993)

Provides good basis for virtual measurement system for solders

Page 33: COST531 Joint WG1/2 meeting SGTE/ NPL Database Activities 13 June 2003 Alan Dinsdale NPL Materials Centre NPL, UK.

Model for surface tension (1)

As originally presented:

This relates the surface tension of the binary alloy to the surface tension of the pure components and the thermodynamic properties of the bulk and the surface monolayer

Model for surface tension (2)

These equations can be transformed into:

and expresses that the chemical potential of the components is equal in the bulk and surface layer

The thermodynamic properties of the bulk are well represented by standard thermodynamic models

Model for surface tension (3)

The thermodynamic properties of the surface layer is given by:

Where A1 is the surface area of component 1, 1 is the surface tension of component 1

N0 is the Avogadro number and V1 the molar volume of component 1

Model for surface tension (4)

There is an empirical relationship between Gmix , the excess Gibbs energy of mixing, for the surface and Gmix for the bulk

Gibbs energy of surface layer given by:

The surface tension, , is calculated to be the value which just brings the surface into equilibrium with the bulk.

This allow the model to be generalised to any number of components
