The variations of electrical resistivity (rho) with temperature in the range of 293-476 K for the directionally solidified Sn-3.5 wt% Ag eutectic alloy was measured. The measurements indicate that the electrical resistivity of the directionally solidified Sn-Ag eutectic solder increases with increasing temperature. The variations of thermal conductivity of solid phases versus temperature for the same alloy was determined from the Wiedemann-Franz and Smith-Palmer equations by using the measured values of electrical conductivity. From the graphs of electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity versus temperature, the temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity (alpha (TCR) ) and the temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity (alpha (TCT) ) for the same alloy were obtained. According to experimental results, the electrical and thermal conductivity of Sn-Ag eutectic solder linearly decrease with increasing the temperature. The enthalpy of fusion (Delta H) and the change of specific heat (Delta C (P) ) during the transformation at the studied alloy were determined from heating curve during the transformation from eutectic solid to eutectic liquid by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle22111709171410.1007/s10854-011-0350-92-s2.0-80053362084Q2WOS:000295280900013Q2
