Description

The manufacture method of Cu-Ag alloy wire and Cu-Ag alloy wire
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of superfine wire that constitutes by the Cu-Ag alloy, with this superfine wire as the twisted wire of line material, with these superfine wires or twisted wire manufacture method as the coaxial cable and the above-mentioned superfine wire of conductor.
Background technology
In recent years, be accompanied by the miniaturization of various electronic equipments, light-weighted demand, the thin footpathization (patent documentation 1) of conductors such as the employed coaxial cable of expectation electronic equipment.As superfine conductor material, a kind of conductance height, Cu-Ag alloy wire (patent documentation 2) that strength ratio copper is high have been proposed.
For the employed superfine wire of superfine conductor, normally wire drawing produces by blanks such as founding materials are carried out.In manufacturing process, the foreign matter of constituent material that comes employed crucible or mold the comfortable operation till being melted to casting and connect their chute etc. is sneaked in the blank.For sneaking into of this foreign matter, even use highly purified raw material also to be difficult to avoid.In addition, in wire-drawing process, might produce defective, perhaps sneak into foreign matter in blank surface in blank surface.The existence of above-mentioned foreign matter or blemish becomes the main cause that breaks when making superfine wire, the productivity ratio of superfine wire is reduced.Disclose a kind of method in patent documentation 1, it is difficult to produce in order to make to break, and utilizes chemolysis when the extremely finish line of the line footpath of the line material after Wire Drawing undergauge footpath.
But, under prior art, can make the superfine Cu-Ag alloy wire that is less than or equal to 0.05mm in high production rate ground hardly.
Patent documentation 1 discloses the technology of the copper cash material of wire drawing to the 20 μ m (0.02mm) of line footpath being implemented electrochemical dissolution.But, under existing method,, break so often produce during the 0.02mm of line footpath in wire drawing because wire drawing is difficult to being less than or equal to the method itself that 0.05mm makes the superfine wire of long size, be difficult to obtain the copper cash material of length size.In addition, because the absolute value of foreign matter diameter is constant, so under the situation of the superficial layer of the wire rod of removing line footpath 0.02mm, because the foreign matter diameter becomes big with respect to the ratio in line footpath, so if removal amount is less, then be difficult to foreign matter is removed fully, if increase removal amount for foreign matter is removed fully, then discarded amount (the wire rod weight before the wire rod weight/removal superficial layer behind the removal superficial layer) increases.As described in patent documentation 1, if with the line material undergauge of line footpath 20 μ m to line footpath 14 μ m, then yield rate is approximately 50%, has discarded half.Because being somebody's turn to do discarded amount be to comprise the part that is machined to the expense that is produced till the 0.02mm, the problem that cause yield rate deterioration, cost to raise so exist this part is discarded.

Summary of the invention
The present invention In view of the foregoing proposes, and one of its purpose is to provide a kind of manufacture method of Cu-Ag alloy wire, the broken string when it can reduce wire drawing, thus the Cu-Ag alloy wire that line directly is less than or equal to 0.05mm is made on high production rate ground.In addition, other purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of high conductivity and high-intensity superfine Cu-Ag alloy wire and this superfine wire is carried out the stranded twisted wire that forms and with this superfine wire or the twisted wire coaxial cable as center conductor.
The inventor finds, promptly, be less than or equal in manufacturing under the situation of the very thin like this Cu-Ag alloy wire of 0.05mm, by wire rod to the specific dimensions in stage midway of being in wire drawing, remove the superficial layer of specified quantitative, thereby the broken string in the time of can reducing wire drawing effectively, can high production rate ground make the superfine wire of desired size.
Based on above-mentioned discovery, in the preparation method of Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention, specific superficial layer is removed.Specifically, the manufacture method of Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention is that the blank that contains the Ag that is less than or equal to 15.0 quality % more than or equal to 0.5 quality % is implemented Wire Drawing and made finish line and directly be the method for the superfine wire that is less than or equal to 0.05mm, and this method has following superficial layer and removes operation.
Superficial layer is removed operation: the wire rod that is in the stage midway that reaches the wire drawing before the finish line footpath is carried out the removal of superficial layer.This superficial layer is removed operation and is had the fine rule manufacturing procedure especially, and in this operation, the superficial layer than thin wire that line footpath φ is less than or equal to 1.0mm is removed.And the removal of the superficial layer in this fine rule manufacturing procedure is carried out in the following manner, that is, when 1/2 of the line of the wire rod before will removing superficial layer footpath φ is made as r, make the surface layer thickness t that removes satisfy t/r 〉=0.02.
Can consider and to carry out peeling and blank after removing foreign matter or blemish is used for wire drawing to the blank before the wire drawing.But, even the inventor finds to carry out as mentioned above peeling in upstream process, also can under the situation that is less than or equal to 0.05mm, the particularly very thin Cu-Ag alloy wire about 0.025mm by wire drawing manufacturing, often produce broken string, be difficult to make continuously superfine wire.That is, even, also can only remove foreign matter or defective on the outmost surface that is present in blank owing to carry out peeling in the upstream, thus might make the foreign matter or the defective that are present in blank inside appear at face side owing to wire drawing thereafter, thus broken string produced.In addition,, also can perhaps produce defective, thereby might produce broken string, be difficult to make continuously superfine wire by sneaking into new foreign matter midway in wire drawing even carry out peeling in the upstream.On the other hand,, after wire drawing, remove superficial layer in the operation in (be about to become finish line footpath before) promptly downstream, then cause aforesaid yield rate to reduce easily and the cost rising if described according to citing document 1.Relative therewith, if the inventor finds to carry out the removal of superficial layer after becoming the thin footpath that is less than or equal to 1.0mm, then be difficult to produce broken string, even the very thin wire rod about 0.025mm also can make continuously because the broken string number of times reduces and can boost productivity.Thus, in manufacture method of the present invention, carry out the removal of superficial layer at the thin footpath wire rod in the stage midway that is in wire drawing.
Manufacture method of the present invention with said structure when manufacturing is less than or equal to the superfine Cu-Ag alloy wire of 0.05mm, is difficult to produce broken string, can carry out wire drawing continuously.Thus, manufacturing method according to the invention can be made the superfine wire rod of long size, and productivity ratio is good.
The blank that is used for wire drawing for example can use implements blank after cold rolling to founding materials.In order to reduce the foreign matter that contains in this blank, preferred higher raw material Cu and the raw material A g of purity for example uses Cu and Ag more than or equal to four nine (purity 99.99%).
Addition to raw material A g is adjusted, so that the content of the Ag in the superfine wire that obtains is 0.5~15.0 quality %.If the content of Ag surpasses 15.0 quality %, even working modulus (contraction percentage of area) or intermediate heat-treatment when then adjusting wire drawing, also can't obtain regulation conductance as described later, if be lower than 0.5 quality %, even working modulus or intermediate heat-treatment when then adjusting wire drawing also can't obtain prescribed strength as described later.
In manufacture method of the present invention, till reaching finish line footpath, carry out the Wire Drawing (particularly cold drawn silk) of multi-pass.Can adjust the wire rod of drawing condition with characteristics such as the line footpath that obtains having expectation and hot strengths.Especially, if the working modulus of the cold drawn silk processing of at first carrying out more than or equal to 70%, then later Wire Drawing is just carried out with the working modulus of stipulating easily.
Under the situation of the Wire Drawing of carrying out multi-pass, if halfway the stage carry out intermediate heat-treatment, then can remove before this intermediate heat-treatment the processing strain that imports wire rod, be easy to carry out later Wire Drawing.In addition, by utilizing intermediate heat-treatment Ag is separated out, and it is fibrous to utilize later Wire Drawing that the Ag precipitate is formed, thereby can improves the intensity of superfine wire.The condition of intermediate heat-treatment can exemplify out heating-up temperature: 350~500 ℃ (preferred 400~450 ℃), retention time: 0.5~10 hour.
In manufacture method of the present invention, the superficial layer in the preferred at least fine rule manufacturing procedure is removed and is undertaken by chemical treatment or electrochemical treatments.The wire rod of the object of superficial layer is removed in conduct in the fine rule manufacturing procedure, because its line footpath φ is more carefully for being less than or equal to 1.0mm, if, then be difficult to make the center of wire rod and the center-aligned of nib, cause productivity ratio to reduce so utilize the peeling mould that when peeling, uses usually.On the other hand, chemical treatment or electrochemical treatments not only can be implemented simply to the wire rod in any one line footpath, and because the surface after handling is very level and smooth, the defective etc. that becomes disconnect reason is difficult to exist, so when the wire rod after handling is continued to implement Wire Drawing, be difficult to broken string, stringiness is good.Can enumerate electrobrightening etc. as representational processing.Also can utilize known processing.In the fine rule manufacturing procedure, remove the wire rod of superficial layer, as long as line directly is less than or equal to φ 1.0mm, if but because the line footpath is too small, then the discarded amount of removing from wire rod increases, cause manufacturing cost to increase, so preferred line footpath is more than or equal to φ 0.2mm.
In addition, because there is limit in the minimizing by the foreign matter that utilizes highly purified raw material to make to contain in the founding materials, studies so the amount of the foreign matter that the inventor is contained from founding materials just can be allowed the viewpoint of the founding materials of using as superfine wire for which kind of degree.Its result, the part of founding materials got make sample, concentration to the foreign matter that contained is measured, as long as the amount of finding to have more than or equal to the foreign matter of certain diameter is less than or equal to setting, just can obtains and causes the relevant considerably less founding materials of foreign matter that breaks.And, find that because this founding materials is difficult to broken string when wire drawing so can make superfine wire in high production rate ground, this founding materials can be cast by specified conditions and produce.
In addition, discovery is less than or equal under the situation of the so very thin Cu-Ag alloy wire of 0.05mm in manufacturing, by on the basis of using the less founding materials of the foreign matter relevant with causing above-mentioned broken string, wire rod to the specific dimensions in stage midway of being in wire drawing, remove the superficial layer of specified quantitative, thereby the broken string in the time of can reducing wire drawing effectively, can high production rate ground make the superfine wire of desired size.
Based on above-mentioned discovery, use specific founding materials in the manufacture method of Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention, and carry out the removal of specific superficial layer.Specifically, the manufacture method of Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention is that the founding materials that contains the Ag that is less than or equal to 15.0 quality % more than or equal to 0.5 quality % is implemented Wire Drawing, thereby make the method that finish line directly is less than or equal to the superfine wire of 0.05mm, it has following casting process and superficial layer is removed operation.
(1) casting process: ready raw material Cu and raw material A g are melted by the crucible that is made of highly purified carbon, this mixed molten liquid is kept making impurity be separated to the surface of mixed molten liquid more than or equal to 30 minutes under more than or equal to the liquidus point temperature of the mixture of Cu and Ag.Then, utilize the mold that is made of highly purified carbon, the mixed molten liquid that use has separated behind the above-mentioned impurity is made founding materials.
(2) superficial layer is removed operation: as mentioned above, the wire rod that is in the stage midway that reaches the wire drawing before the finish line footpath is carried out the removal of superficial layer.This superficial layer is removed operation and is had the fine rule manufacturing procedure especially, in this operation, removes the superficial layer than thin wire that line footpath φ is less than or equal to 1.0mm.And the removal of the superficial layer in this fine rule manufacturing procedure is carried out in the following manner, that is, when 1/2 of the line of the wire rod before will removing superficial layer footpath φ is made as r, make the surface layer thickness t that removes satisfy t/r 〉=0.02.
On the basis of described Wire Drawing, have the manufacture method of the present invention of above-mentioned formation, when manufacturing is less than or equal to the superfine Cu-Ag alloy wire of 0.05mm, be difficult to produce broken string, can carry out wire drawing continuously.Therefore, method constructed in accordance can be made the superfine wire rod of long size, and productivity ratio is good.
In above-mentioned casting process, particularly importantly be used to make impurity to be separated to the retention time on the surface of mixed molten liquid.If this retention time is shorter than 30 minutes, then separate impurities is insufficient, and the foreign matter that contains in the founding materials also increases.Especially, be that founding materials contains with higher probability and causes the foreign matter that broken string is relevant, by utilizing such founding materials, is easy to generate broken string when wire drawing under 0~20 minute the situation in the retention time.As long as retention time does not have special requirement more than or equal to 30 minutes to the upper limit, if but consider productivity ratio, then preferably be less than or equal to 10 hours.
By above-mentioned casting process, can obtain and the less founding materials of foreign matter that causes that broken string is relevant.Specifically, after the part utilization acid of founding materials is dissolved, utilize the filter of aperture 0.2 μ m to filter, the Al amount and the Si amount that contain in the residue thing by the filter recovery are less than or equal to 1 quality ppm with respect to dissolved founding materials separately.That is, Al compound and the Si compound above 0.2 μ m is considerably less in this founding materials.Because it is less to become the thick foreign matter of disrumpent feelings principal element when wire drawing, so by utilizing this founding materials, the broken string in the time of can reducing wire drawing effectively.In addition, surpass under the situation of 1 quality ppm in Al amount and Si amount, preferably make founding materials again, the founding materials that above-mentioned foreign matter is less is used for wire drawing.
In addition, in order to reduce the foreign matter that contains in the founding materials, utilize the crucible and the mold that constitute by highly purified carbon.Specifically, preferably use impurity level to be less than or equal to 20 quality ppm, be more preferably less than or equal the crucible and the mold of the carbon system of 5 quality ppm.In addition, preferably use higher raw material Cu of purity and raw material A g, for example more than or equal to the raw material of four nine (purity 99.99%).
The removal ratio t/r that makes superficial layer in the above-mentioned fine rule manufacturing procedure is more than or equal to 0.02, is preferably greater than or equals 0.08.In addition,, then, defective and foreign matter can be removed fully, the generation of broken string can be reduced because the removal amount of superficial layer increases if comprise the fine rule manufacturing procedure in the interior removal of carrying out repeatedly superficial layer.Repeatedly carrying out under the situation that superficial layer removes, the total of the removal ratio t/r in preferably handling is carried out the removal of superficial layer more than or equal to 0.08 mode with each, more preferably greater than or equal 0.12.But, if since the excessive then yield rate of removal amount worsen, so t/r add up on be limited to about 0.20.In addition, the thickness t of superficial layer is meant from the distance radially of the surface material along the line of wire rod.In addition, for the section shape of wire rod, representational is circular.
The Cu-Ag alloy wire that utilizes manufacture method of the present invention to make also can have coating.By forming coating, except the corrosion resistance that improves the Cu-Ag alloy wire, can improve the connection between wire rod or the connectivity when wire rod is connected with other parts.Coating can enumerate from Au, Au alloy, Ag, Ag alloy, Sn, Sn alloy, Ni and Ni alloy, select more than or equal to a kind.This coating can form in any period carry out the superficial layer removal by the fine rule manufacturing procedure after.That is, the coating operation can be carried out after last wire drawing finishes, also can the wire drawing after the fine rule manufacturing procedure midway (between passage) carry out.Remove superficial layer wire rod afterwards, because surface smoothing and cleaning, so form coating easily.
The Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention that utilizes the manufacture method of the invention described above to obtain contains the Ag that is less than or equal to 15.0 quality % more than or equal to 0.5 quality %, remainder is made of Cu and unavoidable impurities, preferred Al amount and Si amount are less, are less than or equal to 1 quality ppm separately.For Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention because the content of blemish and foreign matter is considerably less, so for example continue to implement under the situation of Wire Drawing or will many Cu-Ag alloy wire stranded and form under the situation of twisted wire, be difficult to produce and break.In addition, under the situation as the center conductor of coaxial cable, when using, coaxial cable is difficult to produce problems such as broken string with Cu-Ag alloy wire or its twisted wire.
In the invention described above manufacture method, owing to when wire drawing, be difficult to produce broken string, so can obtain superfine Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention.Specifically, can make line directly for being less than or equal to 0.05mm.By continuing to implement Wire Drawing, can make line directly be 0.01mm (10 μ m)~0.03mm (30 μ m).
In the invention described above manufacture method,, can obtain high-intensity Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention by adding Ag or utilizing work hardening that Wire Drawing causes etc.Special preferred tensile strength is less than or equal to 1600MPa more than or equal to 800MPa.Cu-Ag alloy wire of the present invention with above-mentioned hot strength is difficult to fracture when for example being wound into coiled type or stranded many Cu-Ag alloy wires.Working modulus (contraction percentage of area) in the time of can be to the content of Ag or wire drawing, intermediate heat-treatment condition etc. are adjusted, so that hot strength and conductance described later become desired value.
