The size and crystal orientation of Sn grains in Pb-free, near eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu solder joints were examined. A clear dependence the thermomechanical fatigue response these on grain was observed (Sn has a body centered tetragonal structure). Fabricated tend to have three orientations cyclic twin relationship, but among population balls, this triplet appears be randomly oriented. In thermally cycled joints, balls with dominant having particular c-axis nearly parallel plane substrate fail...
In some applications, contacts between two devices are the first cause of dysfunctions. The aim this paper is to transfer contactless power energy add new functions a tool (e.g., drill machine). A bidirectional communication also needed. This realized with an ironless high-frequency transformer for both and information transmission. Different coil geometries have been studied reduce mutual inductance coils. solution enables build low-cost smart systems including communication.
