Impact toughness, hardness and shear strength of Fe/Bi added SAC105 have been studied.
Impact toughness increased by about 20% with the addition of Fe/Bi to SAC105.
Hardness increased by more than two fold with Fe/Bi addition to SAC105.
Shear strength almost doubled for the Fe/Bi added SAC105, as compared to SAC105.
The microstructure of the alloys has been correlated with these mechanical properties.
