Abstract

An overview of the mechanical behaviour of common solder types is presented, with particular emphasis placed upon those properties relevant to the performance of soldered joints in service. The requirements for more sophisticated and complex information are highlighted in order to assist design for the increasingly arduous demands associated with miniaturisation.
