Lead-free solder compositions having a thermal conductivity are disclosed that include at least about 2% of silver, at least about 60% of bismuth, and at least one additional metal in an amount that will increase the thermal conductivity of the solder composition over a comparison solder composition consisting of silver and bismuth, wherein the at least one additional metal does not significantly modify the solidus temperature and does not shift the liquidus temperature outside of an acceptable liquidus temperature range. Methods of producing these lead-free solder compositions are also disclosed that include providing at least about 2% of silver, providing at least about 60% of bismuth, providing at least one additional metal in an amount that will increase the thermal conductivity of the solder composition over a comparison solder composition consisting of silver and bismuth, blending the bismuth with the at least one additional metal to form a bismuth-metal blend, and blending the bismuth-metal blend with copper to form the solder composition, wherein the at least one additional metal does not significantly modify the solidus temperature and does not shift the liquidus temperature outside of an acceptable liquidus temperature range. Additional methods of producing a lead-free solder composition having a thermal conductivity include providing at least about 2% of silver, providing at least about 60 % of bismuth, providing at least one additional metal in an amount that will increase the thermal conductivity of the solder composition over a comparison solder composition consisting of silver and bismuth, blending the silver with the at least one additional metal to form a silver-metal alloy, and blending the silver-metal alloy with bismuth to form the solder composition, wherein the at least one additional metal does not significantly modify the solidus temperature and does not shift the liquidus temperature outside of an acceptable liquidus temperature range |
