The implementation of lead-free soldering process is discussed. The test methods for evaluating reliability of lead-free solder joints are developed and used to obtain better reliability of things such as pcb materials, component termination finishes and mixers of solders during rework. The test methods and data allow informed choice of materials and process parameters for improved performance of soldered assemblies. The theoretical and empirical models are also developed for predicting solder joint lifetime and failure modes.
