N2 - A sessile drop experiment involving slow heating and cooling of lead-free solder alloys under inert gas revealed segregation of trace elements to the sample surface. Addition of germanium or gallium to Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni alloys promoted a metallic lustre in samples, in contrast with the blue/purple colour of the parent alloy. Alloys with Ge or Ga additions showed oxidation resistance. Depth profiling of surfaces of sample alloys with Ge or Ga showed a significant concentration of these elements within the oxide film, which may be responsible for oxidation resistance of these alloys.
