This paper reports results of a four-year industrial consortium effort to develop lead-free solders for high-temperature applications (up to 160°C). Work included preliminary evaluations of 32 tin-based alloys, a screening of the thermomechanical fatigue performance of 13 promising alloys, and a full manufacturability and fatigue testing of the seven most promising of those alloys, namely Sn-3.5Ag,...
