Description

Copper alloy for electronic/electrical equipment, copper alloy strip material for electronic/electrical equipment, module for electronic/electrical equipment, terminal, bus bar, and movable piece for relay
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices suitable for terminals such as connectors and press-fitted parts, movable pieces for relays, lead frames, and electronic components for electronic and electrical devices such as bus bars, and a copper alloy strip material for electronic and electrical devices, a component for electronic and electrical devices, a terminal, a bus bar, and a movable piece for relays, each of which is made of the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices.
The present application claims priority based on patent application 2016-.
Background
Conventionally, copper or a copper alloy having high conductivity has been used for terminals such as connectors and press-fittings, movable pieces for relays, lead frames, and electronic/electrical equipment modules such as bus bars.
In accordance with the miniaturization of electronic devices, electric devices, and the like, there is a demand for miniaturization and thinning of electronic/electric device components used in these electronic devices, electric devices, and the like. Therefore, high strength and good bending workability are required as materials constituting the electronic and electrical device module. Further, a terminal of a connector or the like used in a high temperature environment such as an automobile engine room is also required to have stress relaxation resistance.
Here, as materials used for terminals such as connectors and press-fittings, movable pieces for relays, lead frames, and components for electronic and electrical devices such as bus bars, for example, Cu — Mg-based alloys have been proposed in patent documents 1 and 2.
Patent document 1: japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2007-056297 (A)
Patent document 2: japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2014-114464 (A)
However, the Cu — Mg alloy described in patent document 1 contains P in a relatively large amount of 0.08 to 0.35 mass%, and is insufficient in cold workability and bending workability, and it is difficult to mold a component for electronic and electrical equipment having a predetermined shape.
In the Cu — Mg alloy described in patent document 2, since the Mg content is 0.01 to 0.5 mass% and the P content is 0.01 to 0.5 mass%, coarse crystals are generated, and cold workability and bending workability are not sufficient.
In the above Cu — Mg alloy, Mg increases the viscosity of the copper alloy melt, and therefore, there is a problem that the castability is lowered if P is not added.
Further, in the above patent documents 1 and 2, the content of O and the content of S are not considered, and inclusions composed of Mg oxide, Mg sulfide, and the like are generated, which become defects at the time of working and deteriorate cold workability and bending workability. Further, since the content of H is not considered, a void defect is generated in the ingot, which causes a defect at the time of working and deteriorates cold workability and bending workability. Further, since the content of C is not considered, cold workability is deteriorated due to defects caused by inclusion of C during casting.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment, a copper alloy strip for electronic and electrical equipment, a module for electronic and electrical equipment, a terminal, a bus bar, and a movable piece for a relay, which are excellent in conductivity, cold workability, bending workability, and castability.
In order to solve the problem, the inventors of the present application have made intensive studies and have obtained the following findings: by setting the contents of Mg and P contained in the alloy within the range of the predetermined relational expression and defining the content of H, O, C, S, it is possible to reduce Mg and P-containing crystals and inclusions composed of Mg oxides, Mg sulfides, and the like, and to improve the strength, the stress relaxation resistance, and the castability without lowering the cold workability and the bending workability.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned findings, and a copper alloy for electrical and electronic equipment (hereinafter referred to as "copper alloy for electrical and electronic equipment of the present invention") according to an aspect of the present invention is characterized by containing 0.15 mass% or more and less than 0.35 mass% of Mg and 0.0005 mass% or more and less than 0.01 mass% of P, the remainder being composed of Cu and unavoidable impurities, having an electrical conductivity of more than 75% IACS, and having a content [ Mg ] (mass%) and a content [ P ] (mass%) of P satisfying a relational expression of [ Mg ] +20 × [ P ] < 0.5, and having a content of H of 10 mass ppm or less, a content of O of 100 mass ppm or less, a content of S of 50 mass ppm or less, and a content of C of 10 mass ppm or less.
According to the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment having the above-described structure, since the content of Mg is in the range of 0.15 mass% or more and less than 0.35 mass%, Mg is dissolved in the matrix phase of copper to improve the strength and the stress relaxation resistance without significantly lowering the electrical conductivity.
Further, since P is contained in a range of 0.0005 mass% or more and less than 0.01 mass%, castability can be improved.
Further, the content [ Mg ] of Mg and the content [ P ] of P satisfy the following relationship in terms of mass ratio:
〔Mg〕+20×〔P〕<0.5,
therefore, the generation of coarse crystals containing Mg and P can be suppressed, and the reduction of cold workability and bending workability can be suppressed.
Further, since the content of O is 100 mass ppm or less and the content of S is 50 mass ppm or less, inclusions composed of Mg oxide, Mg sulfide, and the like can be reduced, and generation of defects at the time of processing can be suppressed. Further, by reacting with O and S, consumption of Mg can be prevented, and deterioration of mechanical properties can be suppressed.
Further, since the content of H is 10 mass ppm or less, generation of a void defect in the ingot can be suppressed, and generation of a defect at the time of processing can be suppressed.
Further, since the content of C is 10 mass ppm or less, cold workability can be ensured and the occurrence of defects during machining can be suppressed.
Further, since the conductivity exceeds 75% IACS, it can be applied to applications using pure copper.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices according to the present invention, it is preferable that the content [ Mg ] (% by mass) of Mg and the content [ P ] (% by mass) of P satisfy the following relationship: [ Mg ]/[ P ] ≦ 400.
In this case, the castability can be reliably improved by defining the ratio of the Mg content for lowering the castability and the P content for improving the castability as described above.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices according to the present invention, the 0.2% proof stress in a tensile test in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction is preferably 300MPa or more.
In this case, since the 0.2% proof stress in the tensile test in the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction is defined as described above, the copper alloy is not easily deformed, and is particularly suitable as a copper alloy constituting a module for electronic and electrical devices such as a terminal of a connector, a press-fitting or the like, a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, a bus bar or the like.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices according to the present invention, the residual stress ratio is preferably 50% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours.
In this case, since the residual stress ratio is defined as described above, the permanent deformation can be suppressed to a small level even when used in a high-temperature environment, and a drop in contact pressure of, for example, a connector terminal or the like can be suppressed. Therefore, the resin composition can be used as a material for electronic and electrical equipment modules used in high-temperature environments such as engine rooms.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment of the present embodiment has the following composition: contains Mg in the range of 0.15 to less than 0.35 mass% and P in the range of 0.0005 to less than 0.01 mass%, with the remainder being Cu and unavoidable impurities.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices according to the present embodiment, the electrical conductivity exceeds 75% IACS.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the content of Mg [ Mg ] (mass%) and the content of P [ P ] (mass%) satisfy the following relational expression:
〔Mg〕+20×〔P〕<0.5。
in the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the content of H is 10 mass ppm or less, the content of O is 100 mass ppm or less, the content of S is 50 mass ppm or less, and the content of C is 10 mass ppm or less.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices according to the present embodiment, the content of Mg [ Mg ] (mass%) and the content of P [ P ] (mass%) satisfy the following relational expression:
〔Mg〕/〔P〕≤400。
in the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the 0.2% proof stress in a tensile test in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction is 300MPa or more. That is, in the present embodiment, the rolled material is a copper alloy for electrical equipment, and the 0.2% proof stress in the tensile test is defined in the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction in the final step of rolling as described above.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the residual stress ratio is 50% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours.
The reason why the composition and various properties are defined as described above will be described below.
(Mg: 0.15 mass% or more and less than 0.35 mass%)
Mg is an element having an effect of improving strength and stress relaxation resistance without greatly lowering electrical conductivity by solid-dissolving in a mother phase of a copper alloy.
When the Mg content is less than 0.15 mass%, the effects may not be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the Mg content is 0.35 mass% or more, the conductivity may be greatly reduced, the viscosity of the copper alloy melt may be increased, and the castability may be reduced.
In view of the above, in the present embodiment, the content of Mg is set in a range of 0.15 mass% or more and less than 0.35 mass%.
In order to further improve the strength and the stress relaxation resistance, the Mg content is preferably 0.16 mass% or more, and more preferably 0.17 mass% or more. In order to reliably suppress the decrease in conductivity and the decrease in castability, the Mg content is preferably 0.30 mass% or less, and more preferably 0.28 mass% or less.
(P: 0.0005 mass% or more and less than 0.01 mass%)
P is an element having an action effect of improving castability.
When the content of P is less than 0.0005 mass%, the effects may not be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, when the content of P is 0.01 mass% or more, there is a possibility that crystals containing Mg and P are coarsened, and therefore, the crystals become starting points of fracture and fracture occurs at the time of cold working or bending.
In view of the above, in the present embodiment, the content of P is set in a range of 0.0005 mass% or more and less than 0.01 mass%.
In order to reliably improve castability, the content of P is preferably 0.0007 mass% or more, and more preferably 0.001 mass% or more. In order to reliably suppress the generation of coarse crystals, the content of P is preferably less than 0.009 mass%, more preferably less than 0.008 mass%, and still more preferably 0.0075 mass% or less. More preferably 0.0060 mass% or less, most preferably less than 0.0050 mass%.
(〔Mg〕+20×〔P〕<0.5)
When P is added, Mg and P coexist as described above, and a crystal containing Mg and P is generated.
When the content [ Mg ] and the content [ P ] of P are set to mass%, and when the content [ Mg ] +20 × [ P ] is 0.5 or more, the total amount of Mg and P is large, crystals containing Mg and P may be coarsened and have a high density distribution, and cracks may be easily generated at cold working or bending working.
In view of the above, in the present embodiment, [ Mg ] +20 × [ P ] is set to less than 0.5. Further, in order to suppress the occurrence of cracking during cold working or bending by reliably suppressing the coarsening and densification of the crystal, it is preferable to set [ Mg ] +20 × [ P ] to less than 0.48, and more preferably to less than 0.46. Even more preferably less than 0.44 and most preferably less than 0.42.
(〔Mg〕/〔P〕≤400)
Since Mg is an element having an action of increasing the viscosity of the copper alloy melt and reducing castability, the ratio of the content of Mg to the content of P needs to be appropriately set in order to reliably improve castability.
When the content [ Mg ] of Mg and the content [ P ] of P are set to mass%, if [ Mg ]/[ P ] exceeds 400, the content of Mg relative to P increases, and the effect of improving castability by the addition of P may decrease.
In view of the above, in the present embodiment, when P is added, [ Mg ]/[ P ] is set to 400 or less. In order to further improve castability, [ Mg ]/[ P ] is preferably 350 or less, more preferably 300 or less.
If [ Mg ]/[ P ] is too low, Mg is consumed as a crystal, and the effect of solid solution of Mg may not be obtained. In order to suppress the formation of crystals containing Mg and P and to reliably improve the yield strength and the stress relaxation resistance by solid solution of Mg, the lower limit of [ Mg ]/[ P ] is preferably set to more than 20, more preferably more than 25.
(H: 10 ppm by mass or less)
H is an element which is bonded to O during casting to form water vapor and causes a void defect in the ingot. The porosity defect causes cracking during casting, and causes defects such as swelling and peeling during rolling. It is known that these defects such as cracking, bulging, and peeling become starting points of the failure due to stress concentration, and thus the strength and the stress corrosion cracking resistance are deteriorated. Therefore, if the content of H exceeds 10 mass ppm, the above-described pore defects are likely to occur.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the content of H is defined to be 10 mass ppm or less. In order to further suppress the occurrence of the pore defects, the content of H is preferably 4 mass ppm or less, and more preferably 2 mass ppm or less.
The lower limit of the content of H is not particularly set, and excessively lowering the content of H causes an increase in manufacturing cost. Therefore, the content of H is usually 0.1 mass ppm or more.
(O: 100 ppm by mass or less)
O is an element that reacts with each constituent element in the copper alloy to form an oxide. These oxides act as starting points of fracture, and therefore, cold workability is lowered and bending workability is also deteriorated. When O exceeds 100 mass ppm, Mg is consumed by reaction with Mg, and the amount of Mg dissolved in the matrix phase of Cu decreases, possibly deteriorating mechanical properties.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the content of O is defined to be 100 mass ppm or less. The content of O in the above range is particularly preferably 50 mass ppm or less, and more preferably 20 mass ppm or less.
The lower limit of the content of O is not particularly set, and excessively lowering the content of O causes an increase in production cost. Therefore, the content of O is usually 0.1 mass ppm or more.
(S: 50 ppm by mass or less)
S is an element present in the form of an intermetallic compound or a complex sulfide at crystal grain boundaries. These intermetallic compounds and complex sulfides present in the grain boundaries cause grain boundary fracture during hot working, and become a cause of the work fracture. Further, these elements act as starting points of fracture, and therefore, cold workability or bending workability deteriorates. Further, since S reacts with Mg, Mg is consumed, and the amount of Mg dissolved in the matrix phase of Cu is reduced, which may deteriorate mechanical properties.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the content of S is defined to be 50 mass ppm or less. The content of S is particularly preferably 40 mass ppm or less, and more preferably 30 mass ppm or less within the above range.
The lower limit of the S content is not particularly set, and an excessive reduction in the S content leads to an increase in the production cost. Therefore, the S content is usually 1 mass ppm or more.
(C: 10 ppm by mass or less)
C is an element that may be inevitably mixed in, and is used to coat the surface of the melt in melting or casting for the purpose of deoxidation of the melt. If the content of C exceeds 10 mass ppm, the inclusion of C during casting is large. The segregation of solid solutions of these C, complex carbides, and C deteriorates cold workability.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the content of C is defined to be 10 mass ppm or less. The content of C is preferably 5 mass ppm or less, more preferably 1 mass ppm or less, within the above range.
In addition, the lower limit of the content of C is not particularly set, and excessively lowering the content of C causes an increase in manufacturing cost. Therefore, the content of C is usually 0.1 mass ppm or more.
(unavoidable impurities: 0.1% by mass or less)
Examples of the other inevitable impurities include Ag, B, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, rare earth elements, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Se, Te, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Al, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, As, Sb, Tl, Pb, Bi, Be, N, Si, Li, and the like. Since these inevitable impurities have an effect of lowering the conductivity, the total amount is set to 0.1 mass% or less.
Further, Ag, Zn, and Sn are easily mixed in copper to lower the conductivity, and the total amount is preferably less than 500 mass ppm. In particular, in order to greatly reduce the conductivity, it is preferable that Sn is less than 50 mass ppm by itself.
In addition, Si, Cr, Ti, Zr, Fe, and Co in particular greatly reduce the electric conductivity and deteriorate the bending workability due to the formation of inclusions, and therefore the total amount of these elements is preferably less than 500 mass ppm.
(conductivity: more than 75% IACS)
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment of the present embodiment, when the electrical conductivity is set to more than 75% IACS, the copper alloy can be suitably used as a terminal such as a connector or a press-fitting, a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, a bus bar, or other electronic and electrical equipment module.
The conductivity is preferably more than 76% IACS, more preferably more than 77% IACS, even more preferably more than 78% IACS, and even more preferably more than 80% IACS.
(0.2% yield strength: 300MPa or more)
The copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment is particularly suitable as a material for a component for electronic and electrical equipment, such as a terminal of a connector, a press-fitting, or the like, a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, a bus bar, or the like, by setting the 0.2% proof stress to 300MPa or more. In the present embodiment, the 0.2% proof stress in the tensile test in the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction is 300MPa or more.
Here, the 0.2% yield strength is preferably 325MPa or more, and more preferably 350MPa or more.
(residual stress ratio: 50% or more)
As described above, the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment has a residual stress ratio of 50% or more at 150 ℃ for 1000 hours.
When the residual stress ratio under such conditions is high, the permanent strain can be suppressed to a small extent and the decrease in contact pressure can be suppressed even when the material is used under a high-temperature environment. Therefore, the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment can be applied to a terminal used in a high-temperature environment such as around an engine room of an automobile. In the present embodiment, the residual stress ratio in the stress relaxation test performed in the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction was 50% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours.
The residual stress ratio is preferably 60% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours, and more preferably 70% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours.
Next, a method for producing a copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment having such a structure will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in fig. 1.
(melting and casting step S01)
First, the above elements are added to a copper melt obtained by melting a copper raw material to adjust the composition, thereby producing a copper alloy melt. When various elements are added, simple elements, mother alloys, or the like can be used. Further, the raw material containing the above-mentioned elements may be melted together with the copper raw material. Further, recycled materials and waste materials of the alloy may be used. Here, the molten copper is preferably 4NCu having a purity of 99.99 mass% or more or 5NCu having a purity of 99.999 mass% or more. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the content of H, O, S, C is defined as described above, raw materials having a small content of these elements are selected and used. Specifically, it is preferable to use a raw material having an H content of 0.5 mass ppm or less, an O content of 2.0 mass ppm or less, an S content of 5.0 mass ppm or less, and a C content of 1.0 mass ppm or less.
In the melting step, it is preferable to use H for suppressing the oxidation of Mg and for reducing the hydrogen concentration2The melting is performed in an inert gas atmosphere (for example, Ar gas) having a low vapor pressure of O, and the holding time during the melting is minimized.
Then, the copper alloy melt adjusted in composition is poured into a mold to produce an ingot. In addition, in view of mass production, it is preferable to use a continuous casting method or a semi-continuous casting method.
In this case, since crystals containing Mg and P are formed when the melt solidifies, the solidification rate can be increased to make the crystal size finer. Therefore, the cooling rate of the melt is preferably 0.1 ℃/sec or more, more preferably 0.5 ℃/sec or more, and most preferably 1 ℃/sec or more.
(homogenizing and solutionizing step S02)
Next, the obtained ingot is subjected to a heating treatment for homogenization and solutionizing. In the interior of the ingot, intermetallic compounds and the like which are generated by concentration due to Mg segregation during solidification and contain Cu and Mg as main components exist. Here, in order to eliminate or reduce these segregation and intermetallic compounds, the ingot is heated to 400 ℃ to 900 ℃ inclusive, and Mg is uniformly diffused in the ingot or dissolved in the matrix. The homogenization and solutionizing step S02 is performed in a non-acidic or reducing atmosphere. And, the copper material heated to 400 ℃ or higher and 900 ℃ or lower is cooled to 200 ℃ or lower at a cooling rate of 60 ℃/min or higher.
Here, when the heating temperature is less than 400 ℃, the solutionizing does not proceed completely, and a large amount of intermetallic compounds containing Cu and Mg as main components may remain in the matrix phase. On the other hand, if the heating temperature exceeds 900 ℃, a part of the copper material becomes a liquid phase, and there is a possibility that the structure or the surface state becomes uneven. Therefore, the heating temperature is set in the range of 400 ℃ to 900 ℃. More preferably, it is 500 ℃ to 850 ℃, and still more preferably 520 ℃ to 800 ℃.
(Hot working Process S03)
For the purpose of efficiency of rough machining and homogenization of the structure, hot machining may be performed. The temperature condition in the hot working step S03 is not particularly limited, and is preferably in the range of 400 ℃ to 900 ℃. The post-processing cooling method is preferably cooling to 200 ℃ or lower at a cooling rate of 60 ℃/min or more by water quenching or the like. The processing method is not particularly limited, and rolling, drawing, extrusion, groove rolling, forging, pressing, and the like can be used, for example.
(crude processing step S04)
Rough machining is performed to machine the workpiece into a predetermined shape. The temperature condition in the rough working step S04 is not particularly limited, but is preferably set in the range of-200 ℃ to 200 ℃ for cold working or warm working, and particularly preferably at room temperature, in order to suppress recrystallization or improve dimensional accuracy. The reduction ratio (rolling reduction) is preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 30% or more. The processing method is not particularly limited, and rolling, drawing, extrusion, groove rolling, forging, pressing, and the like can be used, for example.
(intermediate Heat treatment Process S05)
After the rough machining step S04, heat treatment is performed for the purpose of thorough solution, recrystallization texture, or softening for improving workability. The method of heat treatment is not particularly limited, but heat treatment is preferably performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere under conditions of a holding temperature of 400 ℃ to 900 ℃ inclusive and a holding time of 10 seconds to 10 hours inclusive. The cooling method after heating is not particularly limited, but a method such as water quenching at a cooling rate of 200 ℃/min or more is preferably employed.
The rough processing step S04 and the intermediate heat treatment step S05 may be repeatedly performed.
(finishing step S06)
The copper material after the intermediate heat treatment step S05 is finished to be worked into a predetermined shape. The temperature conditions in the finishing step S06 are not particularly limited, but are preferably set in the range of-200 ℃ to 200 ℃ for cold working or warm working, and particularly preferably at room temperature, in order to suppress recrystallization or softening. The machining rate is appropriately selected so as to be similar to the final shape, but in order to improve the strength by the work hardening in the finishing step S06, the machining rate is preferably set to 20% or more. When further improvement in strength is desired, the reduction ratio is more preferably 30% or more, still more preferably 40% or more, and most preferably 60% or more. Further, the bending workability is deteriorated due to the increase in the working ratio, and therefore, it is preferably 99% or less.
(Final Heat treatment Process S07)
Next, the plate bar obtained in the finishing step S06 is subjected to a final heat treatment for the purpose of improving the stress relaxation resistance and low-temperature annealing/curing or for the purpose of removing residual strain.
The heat treatment temperature is preferably set in the range of 100 ℃ to 800 ℃. In the final heat treatment step S07, it is necessary to set heat treatment conditions (temperature, time, cooling rate) so as to avoid a significant decrease in strength due to recrystallization. For example, it is preferable to keep the temperature at 300 ℃ for about 1 second to 120 seconds. The heat treatment is performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere.
The method of heat treatment is not particularly limited, and it is preferable to perform heat treatment in a short time by a continuous annealing furnace in view of the effect of reducing the production cost.
The finishing step S06 and the final heat treatment step S07 may be repeatedly performed.
Thus, the copper alloy sheet strip for electronic and electrical equipment of the present embodiment (the sheet material or the strip material having a coil shape) is produced, and the sheet thickness of the copper alloy sheet strip for electronic and electrical equipment is in a range exceeding 0.05mm and 3.0mm or less, preferably in a range exceeding 0.1mm and less than 3.0 mm. When the thickness of the copper alloy strip for electronic and electrical equipment is 0.05mm or less, it is not suitable for use as a conductor for large current applications, and when the thickness exceeds 3.0mm, it is difficult to perform press punching.
Here, the copper alloy strip for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment may be used as it is for a module for electronic and electrical equipment, or may be formed with an Sn-plated layer or an Ag-plated layer having a thickness of about 0.1 to 100 μm on one surface or both surfaces of the plate surface. In this case, the thickness of the copper alloy strip for electronic and electrical equipment is preferably 10 to 1000 times the thickness of the plating layer.
Further, the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment (copper alloy plate bar for electronic and electrical equipment) of the present embodiment is used as a raw material, and is subjected to punching, bending, or the like, to mold a terminal such as a connector or a press-fitting, a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, a bus bar, or the like.
According to the copper alloy for electronic and electrical devices of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the content of Mg is in the range of 0.15 mass% or more and less than 0.35 mass%, Mg is dissolved in the matrix phase of copper, and strength and stress relaxation resistance can be improved without significantly decreasing electrical conductivity.
In the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the content of P is in the range of 0.0005 mass% or more and less than 0.01 mass%, and therefore the viscosity of the copper alloy melt can be reduced and the castability can be improved.
In addition, since the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment of the present embodiment exceeds 75% IACS, the copper alloy can be applied to applications requiring high electrical conductivity.
Further, since the content [ Mg ] (% by mass) of Mg and the content [ P ] (% by mass) of P satisfy the relational expression of [ Mg ] +20 × [ P ] < 0.5, the formation of coarse crystals of Mg and P can be suppressed.
Further, since the content of O is 100 mass ppm or less and the content of S is 50 mass ppm or less, inclusions composed of Mg oxides, Mg sulfides, and the like can be reduced.
Further, since the content of H is 10 mass ppm or less, generation of a void defect in the ingot can be suppressed.
Further, the content of C is 10 mass ppm or less, and therefore, cold workability can be ensured.
According to the above features, occurrence of defects during machining can be suppressed, and cold workability and bending workability can be greatly improved.
Further, in the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment of the present embodiment, since the content [ Mg ] (% by mass) of Mg and the content [ P ] (% by mass) of P satisfy the relational expression of [ Mg ]/[ P ] < 400, the ratio of the content of Mg for lowering castability to the content of P for improving castability is rationalized, and the effect of adding P can reduce the viscosity of the copper alloy melt and reliably improve castability.
Further, in the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment according to the present embodiment, the 0.2% proof stress is 300MPa or more, and the residual stress ratio is 50% or more under the conditions of 150 ℃ and 1000 hours, and therefore, the copper alloy is excellent in strength and stress relaxation resistance, and is therefore particularly suitable as a material for terminals such as connectors and press fittings, movable pieces for relays, lead frames, bus bars, and other electronic and electrical equipment components.
Further, since the copper alloy strip for electrical and electronic equipment according to the present embodiment is made of the above copper alloy for electrical and electronic equipment, it is possible to manufacture a terminal such as a connector or a press-fitting, a module for electrical and electronic equipment such as a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, and a bus bar by bending the copper alloy strip for electrical and electronic equipment.
When the Sn-plated layer or the Ag-plated layer is formed on the surface, the Sn-plated layer or the Ag-plated layer is particularly suitable as a material for terminals such as connectors and press-fittings, movable pieces for relays, lead frames, and modules for electronic and electrical devices such as bus bars.
Further, since the module for an electrical and electronic apparatus (a terminal such as a connector or a press-fitting, a movable piece for a relay, a lead frame, a bus bar, and the like) of the present embodiment is made of the above copper alloy for an electrical and electronic apparatus, excellent characteristics can be exhibited even if the module is downsized and thinned.
The above description has been made of the copper alloy for electronic and electrical equipment, the copper alloy plate bar material for electronic and electrical equipment, and the module for electronic and electrical equipment (terminal, bus bar, etc.) according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be modified as appropriate within a range not departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
For example, although the above embodiment describes an example of a method for producing a copper alloy for electrical and electronic equipment, the method for producing a copper alloy for electrical and electronic equipment is not limited to the method described in the embodiment, and a conventional production method may be appropriately selected for production.

When H, O is introduced by adding various elements to the copper alloy melt, high-purity Ar gas (dew point-80 ℃ or lower) and high-purity N are used2Gas (dew point below-80 deg.C), high purity O2Gas (dew point below-80 deg.C), high purity H2Gas (dew point-80 ℃ C. or lower) Ar-N was used as an atmosphere at the time of melting2-H2And Ar-O2Mixed gas atmosphere. When introducing C, the surface of the melt is coated with C particles during melting and brought into contact with the melt. When S is introduced, S is added as it is. In addition, magnesium having a magnesium purity of 99.99 mass% or more is used as the Mg material. In this way, molten alloy having the composition shown in table 1 and table 2 was produced by melting, and a casting mold was filled with the molten alloy to produce an ingot. In addition, the carbon mold was used in invention example 11, the heat insulating material (isocool) mold was used in invention example 28, and the copper alloy mold having a water cooling function was used as the mold for casting in invention examples 1 to 10, 12 to 27, and 29 to 37 and comparative examples 1 to 11. The size of the ingot is set to be thickThe degree is about 20mm x the width about 200mm x the length about 300 mm.
From the obtained ingot, the vicinity of the surface skin of the cast piece was subjected to face cutting, and a block of 16 mm. times.200 mm. times.100 mm was cut out.
The block was heated under the temperature conditions shown in tables 3 and 4 for 4 hours in an Ar gas atmosphere, and was homogenized and solutionized.
In order to appropriately form the heat-treated copper material into a shape suitable for the final shape, surface grinding is performed simultaneously with cutting. Thereafter, rough rolling was performed at normal temperature at the rolling ratios shown in tables 3 and 4.
Then, the obtained strips were subjected to an intermediate heat treatment under an Ar gas atmosphere under the conditions shown in tables 3 and 4. Thereafter, water quenching was performed.
Subsequently, finish rolling was performed at the rolling ratios shown in tables 3 and 4 to produce a sheet having a thickness of 0.5mm and a width of about 200 mm. In the finish rolling, rolling oil is applied to the surface and cold rolling is performed.
After the finish rolling, a final heat treatment was performed in an Ar atmosphere under the conditions shown in tables 3 and 4, and then water quenching was performed to produce a sheet for property evaluation.

At this time, analysis of Mg and P was performed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. Further, analysis was performed by a heat conduction method, and analysis was performed by O, S, C using an infrared absorption method.

(mechanical Properties)
A test specimen No. 13B specified in JIS Z2241 was collected from the strip for characteristic evaluation, and the 0.2% yield strength was measured by the micro-residual elongation method according to JIS Z2241. In addition, test samples were taken in a direction orthogonal to the rolling direction. The evaluation results are shown in tables 5 and 6.
(number of breaks in tensile test)

The evaluation results are shown in tables 5 and 6.
The elastic region is a region satisfying a linear relationship in a stress-strain curve. The larger the number of fracture cycles, the lower the workability due to inclusions.
(conductivity)
Test samples having a width of 10mm × a length of 150mm were collected from the property evaluation strips, and the electric resistance was determined by a four-terminal method. Then, the measurement of the size of the test sample was performed using a micrometer, and the volume of the test sample was calculated. Then, the conductivity was calculated from the measured resistance value and the volume. Further, test samples were collected so that the longitudinal direction thereof was perpendicular to the rolling direction of the property evaluation strip. The evaluation results are shown in tables 5 and 6.
(stress relaxation resistance characteristics)

As a test method, from each property evaluation strip, a test sample (width 10mm) was taken in a direction orthogonal to the rolling direction, and the span length was adjusted by setting the initial flexural displacement to 2mm so that the surface maximum stress of the test sample became 80% of the yield strength. The above surface maximum stress is determined by the following formula.

The residual stress rate was measured from the bending characteristics after holding at a temperature of 150 ℃ for 1000 hours, and the stress relaxation resistance was evaluated. In addition, the residual stress ratio was calculated by the following equation.
Residual stress ratio (%) - (1- δ)t0)×100
Wherein,
δt: permanent deflection Displacement (mm) after 1000 hours at 150 ℃ to permanent deflection Displacement (mm) after 24 hours at ambient temperature
δ0: initial deflection displacement (mm).
(bending workability)
Complying with the technical standard JCBA-T307 of Japan copper elongation Association: test method 4 of 2007 performed a bending process. A plurality of test specimens each having a width of 10 mm. times.a length of 30mm were collected from the sheet for property evaluation so that the bending axis was perpendicular to the rolling direction. A W-bend test was performed using a W-type jig having a bend radius of 1.0mm (R/t 2) when the bend angle was 90 degrees and the finish rolling ratio exceeded 85%, and a bend radius of 0.5mm (R/t 1) when the finish rolling ratio was 85% or less.
The outer periphery of the bent portion was visually observed, and judged as "C" when cracking was observed, judged as B when large wrinkles were observed, and judged as a when cracking, fine cracking, and large wrinkles were not observed. Further, a and B were judged as allowable bendability. The evaluation results are shown in tables 5 and 6.
