During Pb-free soldering, βSn often requires a high nucleation undercooling and there is an ongoing effort to develop nucleation catalysts. It is shown here that NiSn4, PdSn4and PtSn4are heterogeneous nucleants for βSn, reducing the nucleation undercooling to ∼4 K when these intermetallics are present either in the bulk solder or as the interfacial layer. Nucleation catalysis occurs by βSn nucleating on the (0 0 8) facet of XSn4crystals with an orientation relationship (OR) (1 0 0)Sn||(0 0 8)XSn4and [0 0 1]Sn||[1 0 0]XSn4where there is a planar lattice match of ∼5%. This OR is also the origin of well-aligned lamellar βSn–XSn4eutectic morphologies, even though the eutectics contain less than 2 vol.% of faceted NiSn4, PdSn4or PtSn4.
