Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A solder alloy has an alloy composition containing Zn of 3 through 25 mass %, Ti of 0.002 through 0.25 mass %, Al of 0.002 through 0.25 mass % and balance of Sn, a solder joint made of the solder alloy, and a jointing method using the solder alloy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A solder joint made of a solder alloy having an alloy composition comprising Zn of 3 through 25 mass %, Ti of 0.002 through 0.25 mass %, Al of 0.002 through 0.25 mass %, Ni of 0.005 through 0.3 mass % and balance of Sn, wherein the solder joint forms a metal junction between the alloy and an Al surface or an Ni surface. 2. The solder joint claimed in claim 1 , wherein mass ratio of Al and Ti in the solder alloy is 0.4≦Al/(Al+Ti)<0.6. 3. The solder joint claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solder joint forms the metal junction between the alloy and the Al surface. 4. The solder joint made of the solder alloy claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solder joint forms the metal junction between the alloy and the Ni surface. 5. A jointing method comprising forming the solder joint of claim 1 . 6. A jointing method comprising forming the solder joint of claim 2 . 7. A jointing method comprising forming the solder joint of claim 3 . 8. A jointing method comprising forming the solder joint of claim 4 .
