Hi Greg!
Tough problem because the higher the silver content, the higher the
melting point, at least among the alloys I'm imagining at the moment. I
guess you need to consult a chart.
Anyway, the higher temperature may cause more leaching than the slightly
decreased appetite for silver.

Subject: [TN] Silver Leach
Hello TN,
When soldering to a ceramic board with silver tracks sintered to it, has
anyone come across a requiremnt to use a higher silver content than SAC
to prevent leaching of the silver?
I'd assumed that the (almost) 4% silver in SAC would have been more than
enough to make the solder and substarte virtually electro-chemically
equal and prevent leach/dissolution.
Pre pb-free, I remember reading about folks using 96S alloy (Tin & 3.7%
Ag) to solder to such boards.
Given the liquidus point of 96S, I wouldn't have thought there would be
much differnce with SAC.
Any ideas anyone?
cheers
Greg
