Strengthening mechanism of Al/Sn interfaces: Study from experiments and first-principles calculation

The joining of aluminum using a metal of pure Sn as an interlayer or solder was investigated by reactive air soldering and vacuum diffusion bonding. The interfacial structure and mechanical property of the joints were examined. A nanometer-scale interlayer of amorphous Al2O3 dotted with nanocrystall...
