Abstract

The wetting phenomenon of Sn-37Pb alloy solder spreading on Cu substrate under different ultrasonic fields was investigated. Sn-37Pb/Cu wetting systems showed significant precursor film characteristics with the assist of ultrasonic energy. A short-time ultrasonic field evidently enhanced the wettability of Sn-37Pb/Cu compare to a common wetting field which had no introduced ultrasonic. At the temperature of 213 °C, spreading area of a Sn-37Pb solder drop in a 20 kHz, 1000 W ultrasonic field reached maximum at 2 s, and showed significant precursor film characteristics. Atomistic dynamic models showed the relevance between wettability and precursor film formation. The observed dynamic results agreed with the experimental results.
