Acesso em: 29 abr. 2022.0925-8388http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/jspui/handle/123456789/15382Bi-Sb system alloys demonstrate high corrosion resistance and good wettability, becoming promising for use as lead-free solder alloys. The simplicity of the phase diagram is also a characteristic of this system, which is isomorphous forming the (Bi,Sb) phase. While extensive research has been performed on heat flow in couples of microelectronics surfaces with eutectic and peritectic alloys, literature regarding the issues of interfacial heat transfer between isomorphous alloys and microelectronics substrates is nonexistent. In this regard, the present research work demonstrates not only the application of a numerical mathematical model for thermal interface conductance but also wetting and interfacial reaction layer results in the formation of phases for the Bi- 5 wt% Sb alloy in different substrate materials. After carrying out the mentioned analyzes in three different conditions, Bi-Sb/copper, Bi-Sb/nickel and Bi-Sb/low-C steel, the wetting angle is shown not to be the predominant factor in controlling the interfacial heat transfer. Instead, the phases forming the interfacial layer from each of the tested substrates have a role in the heat transfer coefficients (h). In the case of the steel substrate, there is no layer formation, which allows greater contact conductance, whereas Bi-Sb/copper and Bi-Sb/nickel couples generate smaller h, being reasonably similar to each other.en-USrestritoBi-Sb alloySolidificationMicrostructureInterfaceArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925838820349161https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2020.158553
