Abstract: A core material has a core 12; a solder layer 16 made of a (Sn—Bi)-based solder alloy provided on an outer side of the core 12; and a Sn layer 20 provided on an outer side of the solder layer 16. The core contains metal or a resin. When a concentration ratio of Bi contained in the solder layer 16 is a concentration ratio (%)=a measured value of Bi (% by mass)/a target Bi content (% by mass), or a concentration ratio (%)=an average value of measured values of Bi (% by mass)/a target Bi content (% by mass), the concentration ratio is 91.4% to 106.7%. The thickness of the Sn layer 20 is 0.215% or more and 36% or less of the thickness of the solder layer 16.

Abstract: Provided are a metal body that can be manufactured easily while whisker generation resulting from external stress is suppressed, a fitting connection terminal, and a method for forming the metal body. The metal body includes a barrier layer containing Ni as a main component formed on a metal substrate containing Cu as a main component, and a metal plating layer containing Sn as a main component formed directly on the barrier layer. An area ratio that is a ratio of the area of an intermetallic compound containing Sn and Cu in the metal plating layer to a cross section of the metal plating layer is 20% or less in the cross section of the metal body.

Abstract: A core material has a core; a solder layer provided outside the core and being a solder alloy containing Sn and at least any one element of Ag, Cu, Sb, Ni, Co, Ge, Ga, Fe, Al, In, Cd, Zn, Pb, Au, P, S, Si, Ti, Mg, Pd, and Pt; and a Sn layer provided outside the solder layer. The solder layer has a thickness of 1 ?m or more on one side. The Sn layer has a thickness of 0.1 ?m or more on one side. A thickness of the Sn layer is 0.215% or more and 36% or less of the thickness of the solder layer.

Abstract: The Cu core ball contains a Cu ball and a solder layer for covering a surface of the Cu ball. The Cu ball contains at least one element selected from Fe, Ag, and Ni in a total amount of 5.0 or more to 50.0 ppm by mass or lower, S in an amount of 0 or more to 1.0 ppm by mass or lower, P in an amount of 0 or more to less than 3.0 ppm by mass, and remainder of Cu and inevitable impurities.
