    Abstract: A lead-free solder alloy may comprise tin, silver, copper, bismuth, cobalt, and antimony. The alloy may further comprise nickel. The silver may be present in an amount from about 2.0% to 2.8% by weight of the solder. The copper may be present in an amount from about 0.2% to 1.2% by weight of the solder. The bismuth may be present in an amount from about 0.0% to about 5.0% by weight of the solder. In some embodiments, the bismuth may be present in an amount from about 1.5% to 3.2% by weight of the solder. The cobalt may be present in an amount from about 0.001% to about 0.2% by weight of the solder. The antimony may be present in an amount between about 0.0% to about 0.1% by weight of the solder. The balance of the solder is tin.

    Abstract: A lead-free silver-free solder alloy may comprise tin, copper, bismuth, cobalt, and antimony. Alternatively, the alloy may comprise gallium in lieu of cobalt. The alloy may further comprise nickel, germanium, or both. The copper may be present in an amount from about 0.5% to 0.9% by weight of the solder. The bismuth may be present in an amount from about 1.0% to about 3.5% by weight of the solder. The cobalt may be present in an amount from about 0.02% to about 0.08% by weight of the solder. Where gallium is used in lieu of cobalt, the gallium may be present in an amount from about 0.2% to about 0.8% by weight of the solder. The antimony may be present in an amount between about 0.0% to about 0.09% by weight of the solder. The balance of the solder is tin.

    Abstract: A lead-free solder alloy may comprise tin, silver, copper, bismuth, cobalt, titanium, and antimony. The alloy may further comprise antimony, nickel, or both. The silver may be present in an amount from about 3.1% to 3.8% by weight of the solder. The copper may be present in an amount from about 0.5% to 0.8% by weight of the solder. The bismuth may be present in an amount from about 0.0% (or 1.5%) to about 3.2% by weight of the solder. The cobalt may be present in an amount from about 0.03% to about 1.0% (or 0.05%) by weight of the solder. The titanium may be present in an amount from about 0.005% to about 0.02% by weight of the solder. The antimony may be present in an amount between about 1.0% to about 3.0% by weight of the solder. The balance of the solder is tin.
