Abstract
In this report, the spreadability of Cd on Cu and brass base plates was examined by using various ZnCl2 binary system fluxes.
When pure ZnCl2 was used as a flux, Cd showed a remarkable secondary spreading, yielding an increase in spread area. Moreover, the second component chloride added to ZnCl2 caused chemical displacement reactions with Cd as well as with base plate, and thus affected the spread area. Therefore, the spreading characteristic of Cd on Cu and brass plates with ZnCl2 binary system fluxes may be classified in four types.
