Influence of Solution Heat Treatment on Toughness of Zinc-Aluminum (ZA5) Solder Alloy

Abstract

Zinc-Aluminum (ZA) alloys are important industrial alloys which are gaining widespread use for many industrial applications due to their excellent castability and cutting machinability. Since they were introduced in the early 1970s, various investigations have been carried out on this family of engineering materials to broaden the scope of areas where they can be usefully applied. While many investigations have been carried out on many of the ZA alloy materials, only a few studies have reported investigations on ZA5.
