Zn-Al based alloys as Pb-free solders for die attach
The present study examines the potential of Zn-Al based alloys for replacing Pb-containing solders used in the die-attaching process. Four alloys (Zn-6wt.%Al, Zn-6wt.%Al-1wt.%Ga, Zn-3wt.%Al-3wt.%Mg, and Zn-4wt...

Resonant Structures for Optical Processing and Communication
When a grating-waveguide structure is illuminated with an incident light beam at a specific wavelength and angular orientation, a resonant phenomenon occurs. The resonance spectral bandwidth can be very narrow...

Cavitation by Cold Deformation of High Temperature Alloys
Nimonic 80A and Alloy 800H have been deformed at room temperature in tension and in compression and subsequently heat treated stress-free and under stress. The cavity densities which were investigated by scann...
