Abstract: The present invention relates to a tin whisker mitigation material using thin film metallic glass underlayer, which is a thin film metallic glass (TFMG) formed between a metal substrate and a tin layer. Particularly, the TFMG can be a Zr46Ti26Ni28 underlayer or a Zr51.7Cu32.3Al9Ni underlayer, capable of blocking off the interaction occurring in the interface of a copper layer (the metal substrate) and the tin layer, so as to carry out the inhibition of tin whisker growth. Moreover, a variety of experiment data are proposed for proving that the TFMG of the Zr46Ti26Ni28 or the Zr51.7Cu32.3Al9Ni can indeed be used to replace the conventionally used thick tin layer for being the underlayer between the copper layer (the metal substrate) and the tin layer, and then effectively inhibit the interaction occurring in the Cu/Sn interface and the growth of tin whisker by low manufacturing cost way.

The method may also include heat treating the component after the deposition such that the lowest hardness in the heat affected zone is restored to within about 15% of the base hardness of the component.

Abstract: Densified composites of a metal such as copper or aluminum with a titanium-silicon-carbide or titanium-aluminum-carbide ceramic material are prepared by forming the ceramic material into a body, and infiltrating the body with the molten metal. The metal is able to rapidly penetrate into void spaces, between grain boundaries and even into the crystal structure of the ceramic grains to form a composite. The starting ceramic material may be previously densified, in which case various types of gradient structures can be produced easily. The process can be operated at low pressures, and so the hot pressing methods that normally must be used to densify these ceramic materials can be avoided.
