> Good morning!
> Here is a met. question to start off the day.
>
> We know that if we have over 4% gold in a 63/37 tin lead solder
joint we
> risk gold induced embrittlement because of the production of a
significant
> amount of the tin/gold intermetallic.  It is also common practise to
use a
> slight variation of the eutectic solder with a 62/36/2 Sn/Pb/Ag
> composition.
> We also know that gold and silver are 100% soluble in each other.
My
> question: if the final tin/lead based solder joint composition has a
> COMBINED noble metal percentage in the 4% range how bad is that for
solder
> joint reliability?
