Creep behavior of the ternary Sn-5Sb-1.5Ag and Sn-5Sb-1.5Bi alloys was studied by indentation testing at 298 and 370 K, and compared to that of the binary Sn-5Sb base alloy. Among all tested materials, as indicated by their minimum creep rates, Sn-5Sb-1.5Bi showed the highest creep resistance followed by Sn-5Sb-1.5Ag and Sn-5Sb. The superiority of the Bi-containing alloy is mainly due to the microstructural...
