This paper describes the multiaxial creep-fatigue of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder in proportional and non-proportional loadings. Push-pull and reversed torsion tests were carried in proportional test using fast-fast, slow-fast, fast-slow, slow-slow and strain-hold waves. Non-proportional tests were also carried out using box, step and circle strain waves. In proportional test, smallest creep-fatigue lives were observed in push-pull slow-fast test. Creep-fatigue lives in reversed torsion test were longer by a factor of 2 than those in push-pull test compared with the same strain wave. Non-proportional loading reduced the creep-fatigue life. Circle strain wave showed the smallest fatigue life in non-proportional loading. A non-proportional strain proposed by the authors correlated all the proportional and non-proportional fast-fast data within a factor of two scatter band.
