Development of new lead-free solders for use on aluminium conductors in photovoltaic systems and electric vehicles

该项目将通过开发用于成本相对较低的铝基板的无铅焊料合金，解决电气和电子行业长期存在的环境问题。由于铝是一种非常轻的金属，这项研究将对光伏器件和电动汽车的发展产生重大影响。开发的技术还将促进铝合金的使用，并为澳大利亚的采矿业和轻金属工业带来直接利益。

This project will tackle a longstanding environmental issue within electrical and electronic industries through developing lead-free solder alloys for use on relatively low cost aluminium substrates. As aluminium is a very light metal, this research will have significant impact on the development of photovoltaic devices and electric vehicles. The developed technology will also promote the use of aluminium alloys and bring direct benefit to Australian mining and light metal industries.
