Enough test labs in Santa Clara - along with many bars and restaurants -
maybe we need to convene a technical
meeting,................................8-)

So, here is a million dollar question:
Can we get money to do the research???;-)

Yup, but only on the ones they built for demo's at
exhibitions..................The real boards were on things like the X-Box
360.........................

Yeah, I hear ya.
I haven't heard of any solder companies going bankrupt lately. All I
ever hear from them is "Umpteen gazillion boards built without a single
failure!"

Uh huh.

Other very interesting and almost overlooked things to know (data to
have) would be the fracture toughness for fracture nucleation and
propagation, as well as how and where an initial microcrack gets formed
in the first place.

I wish I had funds for it :-)

Thank you, Werner. 
All is as I expected. The data probably does not exist.

I wholeheartedly endorse your suggestions, that these "families of
stress-strain curves for various T's and strain rates for Sn37Pb, SAC305
and SN100C and their creep rates be determined, at least on a
comparative basis between SAC305 and SN100C". 

I agree this would be helpful in understanding the stresses potential
impact on these alloys. Good project for the solder companies to work
on.

Hi Dean,
You asked the following-post-facing with "I am not a metallurgist, and I
am at a loss as to where to find this information."-unfortunately, there
is no easy way to find the information, and some of it may not as yet
exist.

general basis leads to reduced creep-fatigue lives under ATC), but the
addition of Ni and Ge that changes the metallurgical structure of the
alloy. While Keith states that SN100C has better ductility than SAC305,
I have not seen any data, and ductility is not as important as is the
modulus of elasticity (stiffness).

so it is not whether you use VPS or something else, but the cooling
rate. 
However, please note that the grain structure of solders is unstable and
will coarsen over time, temperature and stress-level enhanced.
