| Abstract Scope |
Sn whisker growth is affect by corrosion. We have found corrosion enhances whisker growth by lowering the effective activation energy for whisker growth. A theory based on excess, non-creep relaxed, oxidation induced strain was developed to explain the corrosion induced energy barrier lowering. |
