I should add that the primary interest in the alloying is to determine if there is any concern over galvanic potential between dissimilar metals joined by soldering (NOT brazing).  For example, nickel and tin, both widely used in solders and platings.  I've found many articles dealing with alloying metals and their effects on solder joint strength, but nothing on environmental / electric performance.

Thanks,

Subject: [TN] Articles on solder joint formation

Morning everyone,
Can anyone recommend (or send) good articles on the alloying process that takes place during formation of a solder joint?
Thanks,
