In view of the need for a lead-free drop in replacement for the widely used 40Pb-60Sn near eutectic solder, new Sn-In-Zn based alloys with substantially the same melting point have been developed.

✦ Synopsis
This paper reports the results of a study on the steady-state creep parameters during phase transformation of one of the important pewters, Sn-5.2wt%In, which can be used as a new Pb-free soldering material. This pewter has been studied by tensile creep tests in the temperature range from 70 to 140 C. The results show one transformation temperature (100 C). In the low temperature range (70-100 C), the activation energy Q is dependent on the applied stress s by the relation Q ¼ Q 0 --Vs, where Q 0 (¼79.7 AE 2.1 kJ/mol) represents the total obstacle strength. In the high temperature range, Q is only slightly affected by s and has an average value of 35.8 AE 3.9 kJ/mol which characterizes the grain boundary diffusion mechanism. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal the existence of both the b-Sn rich phase and the intermetallic compound g-InSn4 in the quenched sample, and only mono-phase b-Sn in the slowly cooled one.
