Hi Mike -
     
     Look over "Solder Mechanics: A State of The Art Assessment", by Frear, 
     Jones,Kinsman, ISBN # 0-87339-166-7. Chapter 2 on Physical Metallurgy 
     of solder-substrate reactions has great alloy summaries and a very 
     complete listing of references that may be of interest.

Related question on mechanical properties!
     
Are there any publications out there documenting  the adverse impact(s) of 
excessive intermetalic growth of  Eutectic Solder (Not Gold Embrittlement 
just regular Cu3Sn and  Cu6Sn5)?
     
Thanks
