Hi Roger - your question is very open ended but I'll take a stab at giving
you an answer. First, if you are just looking for basic solder alloy
information contact any of the solder alloy manufacturers (e.g. Kester,
Multicore, Indium, Alpha, Arconium, and the remaining cast of thousands) -
they will have some material properties, use environments, forms etc types
of information.  Second, if you are going for more detailed information
find a copy of the following book - "Solder Mechanics: A State of the Art
Assessment", edited by Frear, Jones, Kinsman, ISBN # 0-87339-166-7. This
book isn't organized in the most user friendly manner but does contain a
host of references to the specific alloys of interest to you. Good Luck.

     Happy New Year to all "netters"

        Dont know if this has been asked before, but can anybody point me
     towards some metallurgical information on the standard 10Sn/88Pb/2Ag
     solder alloy and its equally popular friend 95Pb/5Sn.

        Any help greatly appreciated
