    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.
