Is there anyone who studied if tin lead solders with 2% silver used for
soldering gold plated leads are less reliable than the classic 63/37
tin/lead solder for the same application because of silver embrittlement in
addition to gold embrittelment?
The late Werner Engelmaier published an article:

This article explains silver embrittelment as an addition to gold
embrittelment in lead free solders used for soldering gold plated leads
with SAC.
Is there a correlation between my question and the article?
