18: Fit of Sn3.5Ag solder joint data to Sn3.5Ag lap
shear and plug & ring correlation band.
Figure 18 shows Darveaux's solder joint data on the plot
of the Sn-3.5Ag lap shear and plug & ring master curve
(Figure 15). The Darveaux's data is within or fairly close
to the 10 X correlation band. However, the Darveaux's dataset
also shows some curvature that is more pronounced than that
of the master curve for the lap shear and plug & ring
data. This suggests careful consideration of lap or plug and
ring joint data before it can be applied to actual solder
joints of electronic assemblies.
Regression of Darveaux's CCC
Shear Data
In Darveaux et al. (1995), the CCC solder joint data was
fitted to a hyperbolic sine model such as given by equation
(32). The corresponding equation in Darveaux et al. (1995)
is equation (13.3) and the regression constants are given
in Table 13.1 of the same publication. After conversion of
stresses from psi to MPa, Darveaux's creep rate equation is
written as: |
