Abstract

Lead free solder technique have been an alternative method for joining process for aluminum other than rivet. Soldering can be a very attractive joining method for aluminum with much less heat distortion due to its lower process temperature than brazing and fusion welding. Various aluminum alloys have different solderability; 1 xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx and 7xxx are easier to solder than 6xxx series alloys. 5xxx series alloys are the most difficult due to their magnesium content. The aluminum alloy has been chosen as soldered material in automotive industry because of its lower density than commonly used steel, its ability to be recycled, its potential to significantly minimize greenhouse emissions, and to create excellent mechanical and thermal properties, aluminum is a desirable material in automotive industry. This study expected to be the current knowledge to expand the usage of the lead free solder technique especially in the application of aluminum alloy in automotive industry.
