The variations of electrical resistivity (rho) with temperature in the range of 323 K to 423 K for the directionally solidified Pb-Sn solders were measured. The present measurements indicate that the electrical resistivity of the directionally solidified Pb-Sn solders increases with increasing temperature, whereas the resistivity of the Pb-Sn solders decreases with increasing Sn content. The dependency of the Lorenz number (L) on temperature and Sn content for the Pb-Sn solders was also investigated based on the Wiedemann-Franz law by using the measured values of the thermal (K) and electrical (sigma) conductivity for the same alloys.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMetals and alloyscrystal growthelectrical resistivitythermal conductivityArticle40219520010.1007/s11664-010-1425-82-s2.0-79951516057Q3WOS:000287861900012Q2
