Effects of Thermal Reflowing Stress on Mechanical Properties of Novel SMT-SREKs

A novel silicone rubber elastic key (SREK) is proposed in this paper for surface mounting technology (SMT) applications. Effects of thermal reflowing stress on the mechanical properties of SMT-SREKs are investigated. The manufactured SMT-SREKs, which underwent various reflowing conditions in advance, are subjected to pressing force and...

Recovery and Recrystallization Kinetics in AA1050 and AA3003 Aluminium Alloys

Microstructural modeling of thermomechanical processing is well established as a valuable procedure for optimizing processing conditions in the steel industry, while the similar work for aluminum industry is still an opening problem. Recovery, recrystallization and grain growth are core elements of this processing. This thesis concentrates on...
