Abstract
In this paper the creep behavior of lead-free 96.5Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder is evaluated. A series of creep tests at different stress/temperature and strain rate/temperature pairs has been conducted. The tests were observed in situ with a high-magnification camera system. Optical observation results are presented from selected tests, showing the occurrence of surface effects such as shear bands, voiding, and rumpling. From these observations the main deformation mechanisms were derived and compiled in terms of their dependence on the test conditions.
