Hi Jean, WernerE, and IPC-LF Listservers,

Jean, since you have had a bit more time reviewing the reported
data do you see anything wrong/amiss/off.

I am a bit doubtful that we could see SnPb being higher in creep
rate at lower stresses and then SAC all of a sudden becoming
higher. My only thought is that the researchers made some mistake
like comparing pre-yield point SnAgCu to post-yield point SnPb
and a pile more quite easy mistakes like improper lead metalurgy,
or holes in the joint.

All the photos, cross sections, and data that I have seen indicate
that SnAgCu (SAC) is a higher strength material.
