(diameter of precipitate particle and number thereof)
Copper alloy for electronic apparatus of the present invention is characterised in that, as shown in Figure 3, in transmission electron microscope is observed, every 1 μ m 2peak value in chart of frequency distribution of the diameter of precipitate particle be in the diameter range of 15~35nm, and the precipitate particle in this diameter range exists with more than 50% frequency of total frequency, the half-breadth at the peak of this diameter range is below 25nm.
; if the diameter of precipitate particle has the distribution of peak value in the limited range value of above-mentioned chart of frequency distribution, even at the high-temperature area of 500 ℃ of left and right, also can spend to greatest extent and bring into play pinning effect; suppress recrystallization, prevent effectively the strength decreased under high temperature.If the peak value of the diameter of precipitate particle exceeds limited range value, pinning effect reduces, and can not suppress recrystallization, can not maintain the intensity under high temperature, causes stable on heating reduction.
Wherein, for the diameter of precipitate particle, in its cross-section, to have with circular diameter (circle equivalent diameter) form of the area equal areas of precipitate particle, calculate.Now, the area of precipitate particle is for being observed the observation of the shadow area utilization to image vertical direction multiplying power that image obtains and be scaled the value of real area by transmission electron microscope.
In addition, in transmission electron microscope is observed, for the precipitate particle below 5nm, owing to can not explicit recognition being precipitate particle or the shadow producing while observing, be therefore included in total number of having carried out the precipitate particle observed.
Further, in this is observed, multiplying power resolving power changes according to the observation, and the diameter of the precipitate particle of observation, number produce change.Therefore, by measure more than 15nm precipitate particle time observation multiplying power be made as 50,000 times, the observation multiplying power while measuring the precipitate particle that is less than 15nm is set as 100,000 times.
By the thin plate of copper alloy for electronic apparatus, make the film that transmission electron microscope is observed use, carry out structure observation observing under 50,000 times and 100,000 times of multiplying powers, the diameter of precipitate particle and number are measured.Fig. 1 represents to observe the observation photo under 50,000 times of multiplying powers, and Fig. 2 represents to observe the observation photo under 100,000 times of multiplying powers.And for the actual multiplying power of photo shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the scale of being recorded by the bottom right of these photos converts.
In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the particle that arrow represents is precipitate.The particle that arrow A represents is the particle of diameter 15~35nm, and the particle that arrow B represents is the particle that diameter is less than 15nm, and the particle that arrow C represents is the particle that diameter surpasses 35nm.In addition, in observing, transmission electron microscope can also use the sample of making by replica method.
The visual field area of photo shown in Fig. 1 (observing 50,000 times of multiplying powers) is 2.6 μ m 2.Therefore, the number of the precipitate particle of this photo inside counting can be calculated to every 1 μ m divided by 2.6 2the number of precipitate.
Similarly, the visual field area of photo shown in Fig. 2 (observing 100,000 times of multiplying powers) is 0.65 μ m 2.Therefore, the number of the precipitate particle of this photo inside counting can be calculated to every 1 μ m divided by 0.65 2the number of precipitate.
And, because being viewed as locality, observes transmission electron microscope, and preferably change look-out station and carry out repeatedly this observation.
(thermal test)
The thermal test of preferred copper alloy for electronic apparatus of the present invention carries out by the following method, with conservation rate, evaluates.
Make copper alloy thin plate sample of the present invention, under keeping in stove to the heating at 500 ℃, keep respectively the Vickers' hardness after 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes to measure, with the Vickers' hardness comparison before thermal treatment separately, with conservation rate, thermotolerance is evaluated.
Conservation rate is calculated by (Vickers' hardness after thermal treatment)/(Vickers' hardness before thermal treatment).Each heats typical example that conservation rate under the hold-time changes as shown in Figure 5.
Copper alloy for electronic apparatus of the present invention can be given full play to the pinning effect of precipitate particle, has excellent thermotolerance, and to keep the conservation rate after 10 minutes be more than 88% in heating at 500 ℃.
(creating conditions)
Then,, to thering is the creating conditions of Cu-Fe-P series copper alloy of precipitate particle of the present invention (Fe-P based compound), describe.Except the preferred ageing treatment of aftermentioned, cold rolling, stress relief annealed each condition, do not need significantly to change common manufacturing process itself.
In addition every 1 μ m of the copper alloy under cold rolling, the low-temperature annealing in this manufacturing process, 2precipitate particle diameter chart of frequency distribution variation as shown in Figure 4.Transverse axis is the particle diameter of precipitate particle, and the longitudinal axis is frequency.
First, to being adjusted into the copper alloy of above-mentioned preferred component scope, melt casting, by after ingot casting building up by welding, with rolling rate, more than 60% implement hot rolling, then at 900~950 ℃, carry out the solution treatment of 2~4 hours.
(ageing treatment)
Copper alloy plate after solution treatment is carried out at 450~575 ℃ to the ageing treatment of 3~12 hours, the precipitate particle with wide size-grade distribution is separated out, make for obtaining forming the matrix of the precipitate particle that ultimate aim forms.450 ℃ following or 3 hours when following, and precipitate particle can not fully be separated out, and 575 ℃ above or 12 hours when above, copper alloy organization softening.
(the 1st is cold rolling)
Copper alloy plate after ageing treatment is carried out cold rolling with working modulus 60~80%, when reducing precipitate particle diameter, further promote separating out of precipitate particle.Because the preferential nucleation site of precipitated phase becomes motivating force and be conducive to the dislocation elementary boundary of nucleation, therefore can promote nucleation frequency.Working modulus is 60% when following, insufficient concerning reducing the particle diameter of precipitate, and 80% when above, and the facilitation effect of nucleation frequency is brought to obstacle.As shown in Figure 4, can infer that this stage does not form the peak value of chart of frequency distribution of the diameter of precipitate particle.
(the 1st low-temperature annealing)
Copper alloy plate after cold rolling to the 1st at 200~400 ℃ carries out the low-temperature annealing of 0.5 minute~3 hours, and the diameter of precipitate particle is moved in certain value range in peak value, frequency, the half-breadth of chart of frequency distribution.In time below 200 ℃ or below 0.5 minute, there is no effect, 400 ℃ above or within 3 hours, cause the coarsening of precipitate particle when above, and the performance of pinning effect is brought to obstacle.As shown in Figure 4, can infer that the diameter of this stage precipitate particle is below 15nm at the peak value of chart of frequency distribution, can not give full play to pinning effect.Only carry out this 1 low-temperature annealing and just make the diameter of precipitate particle just fall in optimum range value and be difficult to accomplish in peak value, frequency, the half-breadth of chart of frequency distribution, need further cold rolling and low-temperature annealing.
(the 2nd is cold rolling)
With the copper alloy plate after 30~60% pairs of the 1st low-temperature annealings of working modulus, carry out cold rollingly, make the matrix in the scope of the peak value make precipitate particle move to the chart of frequency distribution of aimed dia, frequency, half-breadth.When working modulus 60% is above, rolling rate as a whole raises, thereby promotes recrystallization, in addition intensity, specific conductivity, Vickers' hardness is also brought to detrimentally affect.When working modulus 30% is following, almost there is no effect.As shown in Figure 4, although precipitate particle dia is below 15nm at chart of frequency distribution peak value under this stage, yet infer to having promoted separating out of further precipitate particle, make the optimized matrix of chart of frequency distribution of sening as an envoy to.
(the 2nd low-temperature annealing)
Copper alloy plate after cold rolling to the 2nd at 200~400 ℃ carries out the low-temperature annealing of 0.5 minute~3 hours, as shown in Figure 4, and every 1 μ m of precipitate particle 2the peak value of diameter in chart of frequency distribution in the scope of diameter 15~35nm, and form more than 50% frequency of total frequency, to be that 25nm is following can bring into play pinning effect to its half-breadth to greatest extent.Every 1 μ m of this precipitate particle 2diameter chart of frequency distribution specifically as shown in Figure 3.
Utilize the 2nd low-temperature annealing, every 1 μ m 2if the diameter of precipitate particle in chart of frequency distribution, do not move in target peak, frequency, half-breadth, need and then under above-mentioned working modulus, heat-treat condition, repeat cold rolling and low-temperature annealing.Now, repeat separately cold rolling or low-temperature annealing is also nonsensical, it is important carrying out low-temperature annealing after cold rolling.
Even if form the copper alloy for electronic apparatus of present embodiment of above-mentioned formation at the high-temperature area of 500 ℃ of left and right, also can bring into play to greatest extent pinning effect, the reduction of intensity be can not bring, the high strength of excellent heat resistance, the copper alloy for electronic apparatus of high conductivity and lead frame material formed.
Embodiment
Below embodiments of the invention and comparative example are specifically described.
The copper alloy forming shown in following table 1 (adding element composition is in addition Cu and inevitable impurity) utilizes electric furnace to melt under reducing atmosphere, makes the ingot casting of thick 30mm, wide 100mm, long 250mm.At 730 ℃, the heating of this ingot casting, after 1 hour, is carried out hot rolling with rolling rate 60% and become thickness 11mm, with milling cutter, building up by welding is carried out in its surface until after thickness of slab is 9mm, carry out at 920 ℃, after the solution treatment of 3 hours, carrying out cold rolling until thickness of slab is 2mm.Then, at 450~575 ℃, carry out after the ageing treatment of 3~12 hours, with working modulus 60~80%, carry out the 1st cold rollingly, at 200~400 ℃, carry out the 1st low-temperature annealing of 0.5 minute~3 hours.Then, with the copper alloy thin plate after 30~60% pairs of the 1st low-temperature annealings of working modulus carry out the 2nd cold rolling after, at 200~400 ℃, carry out the 2nd low-temperature annealing of 0.5 minute~3 hours, obtain the copper alloy thin plate of the 0.3mm shown in the embodiment 1~16 of table 1.And, for comparative example 1~16, change over be grouped into, cold rolling condition, low-temperature annealing condition make.

By the copper alloy thin plate that obtains, make the film that transmission electron microscope is observed use, at 10 positions arbitrarily, to observe 50,000 times and 100,000 times of multiplying powers, carry out structure observation, mensuration precipitate particle and number, using its mean value as measured value.
The diameter of precipitate particle is calculated to have circular diameter (circle equivalent diameter) form of the area equating with the area of precipitate particle.Now, the area of precipitate particle is for being observed the observation of the shadow area utilization to image vertical direction multiplying power that image obtains and be scaled the value of real area by transmission electron microscope.
For the precipitate particle below 5nm, can not identify clearly the shadow producing while being precipitate particle or observation, be not included in total number of the precipitate particle that has carried out observation, by measure more than 15nm precipitate particle time observation multiplying power be made as 50,000 times, the observation multiplying power while measuring the precipitate particle that is less than 15nm is set as 100,000 times.
The peak value of the precipitate particle dia of trying to achieve based on transmission electron microscope of these copper alloy thin plate, total frequency, half-breadth, specifically as shown in table 2 according to the mensuration number of particle diameter.
