This represents a severe Low temperature solder alloys are preferred for the limitation on using the latest generation of ultra-thin assembly of temperature-sensitive components and microprocessors. Use of low temperature solders can substrates. The alloys in this category are required to reflow significantly reduce such warpage, but available Sn-Bi between 170 and 200oC soldering temperatures. Lower solders do not match Sn-Ag-Cu drop shock performance [5- soldering temperatures result in lower thermal stresses and 6]. Besides these pressing technical requirements, finding a defects, such as warping during assembly, and permit use of low temperature solder alloy that can replace alloys such as lower cost substrates. Sn-Bi alloys have lower melting Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu solder can result in considerable hard dollar temperatures, but some of its performance drawbacks can be savings from reduced energy cost and noteworthy reduction seen as deterrent for its use in electronics devices. Here we in carbon emissions [7]. show that non-eutectic Sn-Bi alloys can be used to improve these properties and further align them with the electronics In previous works [8-11] we have showed how the use of industry specific needs. The physical properties and drop micro-additives in eutectic Sn-Bi alloys results in significant shock performance of various alloys are evaluated, and their improvement of its thermo-mechanical properties. -

Xu et al. Bioresour. Bioprocess. (2017) 4:34 DOI 10.1186/s40643-017-0165-5 REVIEW Open Access Recent progress on deep eutectic solvents in biocatalysis Pei Xu1,2, Gao‑Wei Zheng3, Min‑Hua Zong1,2, Ning Li1 and Wen‑Yong Lou1,2* Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are eutectic mixtures of salts and hydrogen bond donors with melting points low enough to be used as solvents. DESs have proved to be a good alternative to traditional organic solvents and ionic liq‑ uids (ILs) in many biocatalytic processes. Apart from the benign characteristics similar to those of ILs (e.g., low volatil‑ ity, low infammability and low melting point), DESs have their unique merits of easy preparation and low cost owing to their renewable and available raw materials. To better apply such solvents in green and sustainable chemistry, this review frstly describes some basic properties, mainly the toxicity and biodegradability of DESs. Secondly, it presents several valuable applications of DES as solvent/co-solvent in biocatalytic reactions, such as lipase-catalyzed transester‑ ifcation and ester hydrolysis reactions. The roles, serving as extractive reagent for an enzymatic product and pretreat‑ ment solvent of enzymatic biomass hydrolysis, are also discussed. Further understanding how DESs afect biocatalytic reaction will facilitate the design of novel solvents and contribute to the discovery of new reactions in these solvents.

Thus engineering materials attain their special properties. Macroscopic basic unit of a material is called component. It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be elements, ions or compounds. A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics i.e. it is a physically distinct from other phases, chemically homogeneous and mechanically separable portion of a system. A component can exist in many phases. E.g.: Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor. Carbon exists as graphite and diamond. Mixtures – Solutions – Phases (contd…) When two phases are present in a system, it is not necessary that there be a difference in both physical and chemical properties; a disparity in one or the other set of properties is sufficient. A solution (liquid or solid) is phase with more than one component; a mixture is a material with more than one phase. Solute (minor component of two in a solution) does not change the structural pattern of the solvent, and the composition of any solution can be varied. In mixtures, there are different phases, each with its own atomic arrangement. It is possible to have a mixture of two different solutions! Gibbs phase rule In a system under a set of conditions, number of phases (P) exist can be related to the number of components (C) and degrees of freedom (F) by Gibbs phase rule. -
Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems
Physics 127b: Statistical Mechanics Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems The Gibbs Phase Rule Consider a system with n components (different types of molecules) with r phases in equilibrium. The state of each phase is defined by P,T and then (n − 1) concentration variables in each phase. The phase equilibrium at given P,T is defined by the equality of n chemical potentials between the r phases. Thus there are n(r − 1) constraints on (n − 1)r + 2 variables. This gives the Gibbs phase rule for the number of degrees of freedom f f = 2 + n − r A Simple Model of a Binary Mixture Consider a condensed phase (liquid or solid). As an estimate of the coordination number (number of nearest neighbors) think of a cubic arrangement in d dimensions giving a coordination number 2d. Suppose there are a total of N molecules, with fraction xB of type B and xA = 1 − xB of type A. In the mixture we assume a completely random arrangement of A and B. We just consider “bond” contributions to the internal energy U, given by εAA for A − A nearest neighbors, εBB for B − B nearest neighbors, and εAB for A − B nearest neighbors. We neglect other contributions to the internal energy (or suppose them unchanged between phases, etc.). Simple counting gives the internal energy of the mixture 2 2 U = Nd(xAεAA + 2xAxBεAB + xBεBB) = Nd{εAA(1 − xB) + εBBxB + [εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2]2xB(1 − xB)} The first two terms in the second expression are just the internal energy of the unmixed A and B, and so the second term, depending on εmix = εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2 can be though of as the energy of mixing. -

Alloys: Making an Alloy
Inspirational chemistry 21 Alloys: making an alloy Index 2.3.1 2 sheets In this experiment, students make an alloy (solder) from tin and lead and compare its properties to those of pure lead. Equipment required Per pair or group of students: ■ About 2 g lead ■ About 2 g tin ■ Crucible ■ Pipe clay triangle ■ Bunsen, tripod and heatproof mat ■ Spatula ■ Carbon powder – 1 spatula per student ■ Tongs ■ 2 sand trays or sturdy metal lids ■ Sand ■ Access to a balance ■ Eye protection. Health and safety The most likely incident in this experiment is a student burning themselves so warn them that the equipment will be hot. Pouring molten metal can be hazardous if you are not sure how to use tongs correctly – it would be worth demonstrating how to use them safely. Some tongs in schools do not grip well. Every pair must be checked before the start of the experiment. Eye protection should be worn. Lead is a toxic metal. If it is heated for too long or too high above its melting point it could start to give off fumes. Ensure that the laboratory is well ventilated, warn students against breathing in the fumes given off by their sample during the experiment and tell them to heat the metals no longer than is necessary to get them to melt. 22 Inspirational chemistry Results Hardness testing should show clearly that the alloy is harder than the pure lead. The alloy can be used to scratch the lead convincingly. The lead does not leave a mark on the alloy. (Students may need to be reminded how to do this simple test – just try to scratch one metal with the other.) The density of the alloy should be less than that of the lead, but this test is fairly subjective. -
Definition of Design Allowables for Aerospace Metallic Materials
Definition of Design Allowables for Aerospace Metallic Materials AeroMat Presentation 2007 Jana Jackson Design Allowables for Aerospace Industry • Design for aerospace metallic structures must be approved by FAA certifier • FAA accepts "A-Basis" and "B-Basis" values published in MIL-HDBK-5, and now MMPDS (Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization) as meeting the regulations of FAR 25.613. OR • The designer must have sufficient data to verify the design allowables used. Design Allowables for Aerospace Industry • The FAA views the MMPDS handbook as a vital tool for aircraft certification and continued airworthiness activities. • Without the handbook, FAA review and approval of applicant submittals becomes more difficult, more costly and less consistent. • There could be multiple data submission for the same material that are conflicting or other instances that would require time consuming analysis and adjudication by the FAA. What is meant by A-Basis, B-Basis ? S = Specification Minimum • B-Basis: At least 90% of population A = T equals or exceeds value with 95% 99 confidence. B = T90 • A-Basis: At least 99% of population equals or exceeds value with 95% confidence or the specification minimum when it is lower. Æ Mechanical Property (i.e., FTY, et al) What is the MMPDS Handbook? • Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization • Origination: ANC-5 in 1937 (prepared by Army- Navy-Commerce Committee on Aircraft Requirements) • In 1946 the United States Air Force sanctioned the creation of a database to include physical and mechanical properties of aerospace materials. • This database was created in 1958 and dubbed Military Handbook-5 (or MIL-HDBK-5 for short).
