Abstract
This research was designed to clarify and control the mechanisms that govern whisker formation. While tin whisker growth is believed to be largely mechanical, there is currently no general agreement on the mechanism governing the growth of tin whiskers.
The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult.
