3 A.Special characteristic 1.Electrolytic corrosion Outline An electrolytic corrosion happens at the point of soldering because difference metals, base metal or alloy of solder contact. The electrolytic corrosion happens by the difference of metal s electrode potential composed of metal alloy, the lower metal of electrode potential is dissolved as anode and metal alloy are peeled off. So R23 (Sn-3.0Cu), metal components of R23-C601-3, shall be measured electrolytic corrosion characteristic and compared with K4 (Sn-3.5Ag-0.2Ni) of Pb free solder for Al and 18Sn-2.0Ag-Pb that is Pb solder for Al. Test method (Our company method) 2 Al plates (5mm 30mm) shall be soldered with flux for Al and 30g metal sample. The test specimen shall be soaked in 40 artificial sea water and kept in this state. Measuring time shall be taken to erode the point of soldering and separate each Al plate. Test metal specimens are as follows, A R23( Sn-3.0Cu) B K4( Sn-3.5Ag-0.2Ni) C 18Sn-2.0Ag-Pb 2.Washability of flux residue Outline It is important to wash flux residue for prevention of corrosion and insulation reliability assurance for a long time. About R23-C601-3, the flux residue is hygroscopic property, so there is ionic material in the flux residue, it needs to wash. So we shall show the method of washing of R23-C601-3 and the reliability after washing, and evaluate the ionic residue value and the corrosion after washing and no washing. 2-1 Ionic residue Test method (Our company method) Test board, specified in JIS, shall be soldered by R23-C601-3 with soldering iron of 380 and washed by ion exchanged water, the specific resistance is more than 5000Ωm at 20, three times that is three, one and one with ultrasonic washer. The ionexchanged water shall be changed and the board shall be rinsed every washing. After washing the board shall be dried in drying machine by blow adjusted 80 for 5 minutes. Test method (Based on JIS Z ) 18 pieces of test boards shall be prepared, the half, 9 boards shall be soldered and washed as above method, the other 9 boards not soldered as blank. Each 9 boards shall be measured the Ionic residue value by Omega Meter. As comparison, no washing test boards shall be done, too. Ionic residue value is less than 14µg NaCl/in 2 enlarged Initial enlarged crack Before washing After washing Erosion characteristic of R23 (Sn-3.0Cu) at the surface between Al and solder is not better than K4 (Sn-3.5Ag-0.2Ni) and 18Sn-2.0Ag-Pb. Table2. Electrolytic corrosion sample time R23 96h K4 3096h 18Sn-2.0Ag-Pb 504h sample R23-C601-3 Table3. Ionic residue value washing Ionic residue value (µg NaCl/in 2 ) washing 1.0 no washing more than 50 s showed that the flux residue was able to be washed by water with ultrasonic washer and in the case of no-washing, much ionic material remained. 2

4 2-2 Corrosion Test method (Based on JIS Z ) The swirled sample R23-C601-3 shall be melted at the center of Cu plate been finished preparation for 5 seconds after it begins to melt. After that the test piece shall be got cold at room temperature, and washed and dried in the washing method shown in 2-1. It shall be put in thermoregulator adjusted 40±2,90~95% and kept in this state for 96 hours. 96 hours later corrosion shall be observed. As comparison, no washing and Al plate shall be done, too. Washed Cu and Al plates were not found corrosion, but no washed plates were found corrosion at soldered portion and the base. Initial 96 hours later 3.Solderability Outline Al has more strong oxide film on the surface than Cu or other base metals, so the solderability is not good. And in the case that Al is coated any organic substances, for example the heat resistance is high, even if it is thermoplasticity, it is difficult to solder with just heating. So some strong activator is needed to remove it. R23-C601-3 is good at the solderability for Al and removing the organic substance, that is high heat resistance, coated Al. We shall show the solderability of R23-C601-3 and compare of general Pb free solder as follows. Test method (Our company method) Copper plate covered with Al urethane wire shall be soldered with R23-C601-3.Temperature of soldering iron is 380. And J3-STE-3, Pb free solder contain fluorine in our company, shall be done, too. R23-C601-3 J3-STE-3 Fig. washing 96h later Point of corrosion Note: 1solder 2Cu plate Fig. no washing 3
