G. Grossmann, C. Zardini (Eds.) The ELFNET Book on Failure Mechanisms, Testing Methods, and Quality Issues of Lead-Free Solder Interconnects ? Gives the results of research conducted within the European Lead- Free Soldering Network (ELFNET) ? Offers a compilation of material from European experts on the metallurgy and degradation of lead-free solder joints ? Contains numerous illustrations The ELFNET Book on Failure Mechanisms, Testing Methods, and Quality Issues of Lead-Free Solder Interconnects is the work of the European network ELFNET which was founded by the European Commission in the 6th Framework Programme. It brings together contributions from the leading European experts in lead-free soldering. ? The limited validity of testing methods originating from tin-lead solder was a major point of concern in ELFNET members discussions. As a result, the networks reliability group 2011, VIII, 313 p. decided to bring together the material properties of lead-free solders, as well as the basics of material science, and to discuss their influence on the procedures for accelerated testing. This has led to a matrix of failure mechanisms and their activation and, as a result, Printed book to a comprehensive coverage of the scientific background and its applications i
