Although the differences between the secondary creep rates of SnAg and SnAgCu alloys are marginal, when tested under constant stress and temperature the secondary creep rate of SnAgCu or SnAg can exceed that of SnPb at stresses above a shear stress of 20 MPa.
Secondary creep may be physical or chemical in origin.
Life prediction Is usually based on the secondary creep path until the onset of tertiary creep.
