Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation based algorithm is developed to compute the effective diffusivity of lead free solder alloys. Simulations are performed to determine the vacancy diffusivity for 95.5Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC405) solder alloy for different paths. Temperature and micro-structural influence on diffusivity are studied. A map of diffusivity versus temperature and average grain size is developed. Significant differences between diffusivity values reported in the literature for the same solder alloy is also discussed.
