| Description | Sintering effect of Ag nanoparticles studied in this work seems to be an interesting alternative of lead-free soldering. It was found experimentally that Ag nanopowder annealed at temperatures above silver oxide decomposition forms continuous Ag layer and yields a firm junction between copper plates. Oxide layer is observed at the Cu-Ag interface. Microstructure of prepared experimental joints, composition profiles and local mechanical properties were studied on cross-sectional samples by analytical electron microscopy and depth-sensing indentation technique. |
