Summary of the invention
Using deposition mask in the case where carrying out the film forming of evaporation material on substrate, not only substrate, deposition mask are also attached Have evaporation material.For example, there is also along the substantially inclined direction of the normal direction relative to deposition mask in evaporation material And fly to the evaporation material of substrate, such evaporation material can be reached before reaching substrate the wall surface of the through hole of deposition mask from And adhere to.In this case, it is believed that evaporation material is difficult to adhere to the wall of the through hole positioned at deposition mask in a substrate Region near face, as a result, the thickness of the evaporation material of attachment is smaller than other parts or generates unattached evaporation material Part.That is, it is considered that the vapor deposition of the near wall of the through hole of deposition mask is unstable.Therefore, in order to form organic EL The pixel of display device and in the case where using deposition mask, the dimensional accuracy and position precision of pixel reduce, as a result, causing The luminous efficiency of organic EL display device reduces.
In order to solve the problems, consider for the thickness for the metal plate for being used to manufacture deposition mask to be thinned.This is because By reducing the thickness of metal plate, the height of the wall surface of the through hole of deposition mask can be made to become smaller, evaporation material can be reduced as a result, In be attached to perforation wall surface of the hole on evaporation material ratio.But the small metal plate of thickness in order to obtain, in rolling base material To need to increase rolling rate when manufacturing metal plate.Here, rolling rate refers to utilization (thickness-metal plate of base material)/(thickness of base material Degree) calculate value.In the case where implementing the heat treatment such as annealing after rolling, usual rolling rate is bigger, the deformation based on rolling Degree of irregularity is also bigger.For example, according to the position in width direction (direction orthogonal with the direction of transfer of base material), metal plate Elongation percentage is different, as a result, undulations occurs in metal plate, this is well-known.Specifically, can enumerate: in width The shape of the fluctuating of the end in direction, is referred to as rippled edge;In the undulations of the central portion of width direction, it is referred to as Between ripple.If there are such undulations, exposed mask cannot be made sufficiently to be sealed at the resist film on metal plate, tied Fruit, it is believed that the position precision and dimensional accuracy of the through hole formed on a metal plate can reduce.If the position essence of through hole Degree and dimensional accuracy reduce, then the dimensional accuracy by using the pixel of organic EL display device obtained from deposition mask and position Setting precision can reduce.
In addition, in order to cut down the manufacturing cost of deposition mask, first, it is also well known that in the whole region of metal plate The effective coverage that 2 or more corresponding with an organic EL display device includes 2 or more through holes is formed, thereafter, along Metal plate is cut to 2 or more by the length direction of metal plate, 2 or more the elongate deposition masks of producing once out as a result,. But the elongation percentage of metal plate is according to the position of width direction and in the case where difference, 2 or more the elongates obtained after cutting The length of deposition mask is different.In this case, the spacing of each through hole of the effective coverage of deposition mask is in each deposition mask In it is also different, as a result, it can also be expected that the size of the pixel by using organic EL display device obtained from deposition mask There is deviation because of the difference of individual with position.

It should be noted that the frame 15 of deposition mask device 10 is installed on the peripheral portion of the deposition mask 20 of rectangle.Frame Deposition mask is maintained at the state of tensioning by frame 15 in the way of bending deposition mask 20.Deposition mask 20 and frame 15 It is fixed each other by such as spot welding.
Implement the inside of evaporation coating device 90 of the vapor deposition treatment under high-temperature atmosphere.Therefore, during vapor deposition treatment, it is maintained at steaming Deposition mask 20, frame 15 and substrate 92 inside plating appts 90 are also heated.At this point, deposition mask, frame 15 and substrate 92 Show the behavior of the change in size based on each thermal expansion.In this case, if deposition mask 20, frame 15 and substrate 92 thermal expansion coefficient difference is larger, then misplaces because of the difference of their change in size, as a result, being attached to substrate 92 On evaporation material dimensional accuracy and position precision can reduce.In order to solve the problems, preferably deposition mask 20 and frame The thermal expansion coefficient of frame 15 and the thermal expansion coefficient of substrate 92 are same value.For example, using glass substrate 92 as substrate 92 When, as the material of deposition mask 20 and frame 15, can be used in iron added with 36% nickel alloy i.e. invar alloy Material.
(deposition mask)
The following detailed description of deposition mask 20.As shown in Figure 1, deposition mask 20 is by 21 structure of metal plate in present embodiment At with substantially quadrangle form in top view, further accurately having substantially rectangular profile in a top view.Vapor deposition The metal plate 21 of mask 20 includes that regularly arranged formation has the effective coverage 22 of through hole 25 and surrounds the week of effective coverage 22 Enclose region 23.Peripheral region 23 is the region for being used to support effective coverage 22, is not intended to vapor deposition to the vapor deposition on substrate The region that material passes through.For example, the deposition mask 20 used in the vapor deposition of the luminous organic material of organic EL display device In, effective coverage 22 is and the area for being used to be formed pixel by the vapor deposition of luminous organic material on substrate (glass substrate 92) The region in deposition mask 20 that domain faces is to be used to form made organic EL display device substrate on substrate Display surface area surface pair deposition mask 20 in region.But various purposes are based on, it can also be in 23 shape of peripheral region At through hole or recess portion.In example shown in FIG. 1, each effective coverage 22 has substantially quadrangle form in a top view, into one Step precisely has substantially rectangular profile in a top view.
In the example in the figures, 2 or more effective coverages 22 of deposition mask 20 are along the length with deposition mask 20 A parallel direction of direction forms a line across scheduled interval.In example illustrated, an effective coverage 22 corresponds to One organic EL display device.That is, deposition mask device 10 (deposition mask 20) according to figure 1, is able to carry out piecewise weight Multiple vapor deposition (multi-panel, which is paid, steams).
As shown in figure 3, in the example in the figures, it is effective at this in 2 or more the through holes 25 that each effective coverage 22 is formed It is arranged at predetermined intervals respectively in region 22 along two mutually orthogonal directions.About the perforation formed on the metal plate 21 An example in hole 25, is further described in detail referring especially to Fig. 3~Fig. 6.
As shown in Fig. 4~Fig. 6,2 or more through holes 25 extend between the 1st face 20a and the 2nd face 20b and penetrate through vapor deposition Mask 20, the 1st face 20a are the side along normal direction of deposition mask 20, and the 2nd face 20b is deposition mask 20 The other side along normal direction.In example illustrated, as being explained in detail below, from the method as deposition mask The 1st face side 21a of the metal plate 21 of the side in line direction forms the 1st recess portion 30 by being etched on metal plate 21, from as gold The 2nd face side 21b for belonging to the other side of the normal direction of plate 21 forms second recesses 35 on metal plate 21, utilizes the 1st recess portion 30 Through hole 25 is formed with second recesses 35.
As shown in Fig. 3~Fig. 6, from the 1st face side 20a of deposition mask 20 to the 2nd face side 20b, on the edge of deposition mask 20 The position of normal direction, sectional area of each 1st recess portion 30 in the section of the plate face along deposition mask 20 gradually become It is small.As shown in Figure 3, the wall surface 31 of the 1st recess portion 30 is in its whole region in the direction that the normal direction with deposition mask 20 is intersected Extend, exposes towards the side of the normal direction along deposition mask 20.Similarly, in deposition mask 20 along normal direction Position, sectional area of each second recesses 35 in the section of the plate face along deposition mask 20 can be from deposition mask 20 The 2nd face side 20b gradually become smaller to the 1st face side 20a.The wall surface 36 of second recesses 35 its whole region with deposition mask 20 Normal direction intersect direction extend, towards along deposition mask 20 normal direction the other side expose sectional area section Product.
It should be noted that the wall surface 31 of the 1st recess portion 30 passes through with the wall surface 36 of second recesses 35 as shown in Fig. 4~Fig. 6 The interconnecting piece 41 of all shapes and connect.Interconnecting piece 41 is by inclined 1st recess portion 30 of normal direction relative to deposition mask The crest line of protruding portion that wall surface 31 and the wall surface 36 of the inclined second recesses 35 of normal direction relative to deposition mask merge into and It marks.Also, interconnecting piece 41 marks the smallest through portion 42 of area of through hole 25 in the top view of deposition mask 20.
As shown in Fig. 4~Fig. 6, the 2nd face of the face of the other side along normal direction of deposition mask, i.e. deposition mask 20 On 20b, two adjacent through holes 25 are spaced from each other along the plate face of deposition mask.That is, manufacturing method as be described hereinafter, from steaming The 2nd face side 21b for plating the corresponding metal plate 21 of the 2nd face 20b of mask 20 is etched the metal plate 21 and makes second recesses When 35, remaining has the 2nd face 21b of metal plate 21 between two adjacent second recesses 35.
On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 4~Fig. 6, in deposition mask along the side of normal direction, i.e. deposition mask 20 The 1st face side 20a, adjacent two the 1st recess portions 30 connection.That is, manufacturing method as be described hereinafter, from the 1st face with deposition mask 20 When the 1st face side 21a of the corresponding metal plate 21 of 20a is etched to the metal plate 21 and forms 1 recess portion 30, adjacent two Remaining there will not be the 1st face 21a of metal plate 21 between a 1st recess portion 30.That is, the 1st face 21a of metal plate 21 is in effective coverage 22 Whole region be etched.Using the 1st face 20a for being formed by deposition mask 20 by such 1st recess portion 30, according to such as figure It, can be effective in the case that the mode that 1st face 20a of deposition mask 20 shown in 2 faces evaporation material 98 uses the deposition mask 20 Improve the utilization efficiency of evaporation material 98.
As shown in Fig. 2, in the case where deposition mask device 10 is contained in evaporation coating device 90, such as double dot dash line in Fig. 4 Shown, the 1st face 20a of deposition mask 20 is located at 94 side of crucible for maintaining evaporation material 98, the 2nd face 20b of deposition mask 20 In face of glass substrate 92.Therefore, evaporation material 98 is attached to glass substrate 92 by gradually smaller 1st recess portion 30 of sectional area On.As shown by the arrows in Figure 4, evaporation material 98 is from crucible 94 to glass substrate 92 not only along the normal direction of glass substrate 92 It is mobile and sometimes mobile in the larger inclined direction of the normal direction relative to glass substrate 92.At this point, deposition mask 20 Thickness it is big when, the evaporation material 98 of inclination movement much by through hole 25 reach glass substrate 92 before can reach the 1st The wall surface 31 of recess portion 30 and adhere to.In addition, vapor deposition material can be generated in the region faced with through hole 25 on glass substrate 92 Expect 98 regions easy to reach and is difficult to the part reached.Therefore, in order to improve evaporation material utilization efficiency (film forming efficiency: The ratio being attached on glass substrate 92) and save expensive evaporation material and make the film forming that expensive evaporation material is utilized Stablize in desired region and equably implemented, it is important that according to the evaporation material 98 for making inclination movement as far as possible The mode of glass substrate 92 is reached to constitute deposition mask 20.That is, in Fig. 4~Fig. 6 orthogonal with piece face of deposition mask 20 Section in, so that straight line L1 is formed by minimum angles θ 1 (referring to Fig. 4) relative to the normal direction of deposition mask 20 and sufficiently become It is advantageous greatly, the straight line L1 is recessed by the interconnecting piece 41 and the 1st as the part with minimum sectional area of through hole 25 Any other position of the wall surface 31 in portion 30.
As one of the method for increasing angle, θ 1, it is contemplated that reduce the thickness of deposition mask 20, make as a result, The wall surface 31 of 1st recess portion 30, the height of the wall surface 36 of second recesses 35 become smaller.That is, it can be said that as constituting deposition mask 20 metal plate 21, it is preferable to use the metal plates 21 that thickness is as thin as possible in the range of can ensure that the intensity of deposition mask 20.
As the other methods for increasing angle, θ 1, it is also contemplated that optimize the profile of the 1st recess portion 30.Such as root According to present embodiment, converged by the wall surface 31 of two adjacent the 1st recess portions 30, compared to do not converge with other recess portions have with The recess portion of wall surface shown in dotted line (profile) can substantially increase the angle, θ 1.Illustrate its reason below.
As being explained in detail below, the 1st recess portion 30 is and the 1st face 21a to metal plate 21 is etched It is formed.By the wall surface shape generally in curved surface for the recess portion that etching is formed, which corrodes direction.Therefore, Wall surface 31 by the recess portion of etching formation is precipitous in the region of etching starting side, in the side opposite with etching starting side The most deep side of region, i.e. recess portion, the normal direction relative to metal plate 21 significantly tilt.On the other hand, the steaming of diagram It plating in mask 20, the wall surface 31 of two adjacent the 1st recess portions 30 converges in etching starting side, therefore, two the 1st recess portions 30 The outer profile of part 43 that converges of front edge 32 of wall surface 31 be not precipitous shape, but the shape of chamfering.Therefore, may be used So that the wall surface 31 for forming most 1st recess portion 30 of through hole 25 effectively inclines relative to the normal direction of deposition mask Tiltedly.I.e., it is possible to increase angle, θ 1.It as a result, can be accurately stable while being effectively improved the utilization efficiency of evaporation material 98 Implement the vapor deposition under desired pattern.
But the small metal plate 21 of thickness in order to obtain, need to increase rolling when manufacturing metal plate 21 by base material Rate.But rolling rate is bigger, the non-uniform degree of the deformation based on rolling is also bigger.For example, the elongation percentage of metal plate 21 because The position of width direction (direction orthogonal with the direction of transfer of base material) and it is different, as a result, sometimes above-mentioned fluctuating shape Shape appears on metal plate 21.Herein, consider the case when: each deposition mask 20 shown in FIG. 1 is respectively by the metal of elongate Plate is constituted, and the metal plate of the elongate is to be cut off by that will roll the obtained metal plate of base material along its length direction It obtains.In this case, it is believed that since the length of each deposition mask 20 is different, each deposition mask 20 it is effective The spacing of each through hole 25 in region 22 is also different in each deposition mask 20, as a result, the position precision of vapor deposition is reduced, steamed The utilization efficiency for plating material reduces.Therefore, in order to inhibit each deposition mask 20 effective coverage 22 each through hole 25 spacing Deviation, the small organic EL display device of deviation of the size to obtain pixel and position, as described later, it is important that screening The difference of elongation percentage small metal plate 21 uses out.
Below to such composition present embodiment and its effect and effect be illustrated.Here, first to It is illustrated in the manufacturing method of the metal plate of manufacture deposition mask.Then to using obtained metal plate to manufacture deposition mask Method be illustrated.Thereafter, to use obtained deposition mask carried out on substrate evaporation material vapor deposition method into Row explanation.
(manufacturing method of metal plate)
Firstly, referring to Fig. 7 (a), (b), Fig. 8, Fig. 9 (a), (b), (c), (d) and Figure 10 to the manufacturing method of metal plate into Row explanation.Fig. 7 (a) is to show to obtain the figure with the process of the metal plate of desired thickness, Fig. 7 by rolling base material It (b) is the figure shown to by rolling the process that obtained metal plate is annealed.
[rolling process]
First as shown in Fig. 7 (a), prepare the base material 55 containing invar alloy material, to including a pair of of Rolling roller 56a, 56b Rolling device 56 always transmit the base material 55 along sender shown in arrow D1.It reaches between a pair of of Rolling roller 56a, 56b Base material 55 rolled by a pair of of Rolling roller 56a, 56b, as a result, the thickness of base material 55 reduces, while being prolonged along the conveying direction It stretches.Thickness t can be obtained as a result,0Long metal sheet 64.As shown in Fig. 7 (a), by batching long metal sheet 64 on core material 61 And form coiling body 62.To thickness t0Occurrence be not particularly limited, for example, 0.020mm or more and 0.100mm is below In range.
[annealing operation]
Thereafter, it is accumulated because of rolling in order to eliminate in the residual stress in long metal sheet 64, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), using moving back Fiery device 57 anneals to long metal sheet 64.As shown in Fig. 7 (b), annealing operation can on one side by long metal sheet 64 in biography Direction (length direction) stretching is sent to implement on one side.As a result, residual stress can be obtained be removed to a certain degree, thickness t0's Long metal sheet 64.It should be noted that thickness t0Maximum gauge Tb generally equal in the peripheral region 23 of deposition mask 20.
It should be noted that the form of rolling process and annealing operation is not particularly limited to shape shown in Fig. 7 (a), (b) State.For example, rolling process can use 2 couples or more Rolling roller 56a, 56b to implement.In addition it is also possible to by the way that work will be rolled Sequence and annealing operation are repeated 2 times or more to make thickness t0Long metal sheet 64.In addition, showing annealing in Fig. 7 (b) Process on one side by long metal sheet 64 while length direction stretches the example implemented, but not limited to this, can also be with Implement annealing operation in the state that long metal sheet 64 is taken up in core material 61.It should be noted that being rolled up in long metal sheet 64 It is taken in the case where implementing annealing operation in the state of core material 61, the volume with coiling body 62 can be generated on long metal sheet 64 sometimes The problem of taking diameter corresponding warpage.It therefore, on one side will long gold according to the material for batching diameter, constituting base material 55 of coiling body 62 Belonging to plate 64, implementation annealing operation is advantageous on one side in length direction stretching.
[inspection operation]
Thereafter, implement the inspection operation checked the degree of the extension difference of obtained long metal sheet 64.Fig. 8 is Perspective view by the obtained metal plate of process shown in Fig. 7 (a), (b) is shown.As shown in figure 8, at least office of long metal sheet 64 Portion have undulations, the undulations due to the length direction D1 of the long metal sheet 64 length because its width direction D2's Position and it is different.Here, length direction D1 is the direction parallel with direction of transfer when rolling base material 55, width direction D2 For the direction orthogonal with length direction D1.In Fig. 8, the end of the width direction D2 of long metal sheet 64 is indicated with symbol 64e.
The undulations shown in long metal sheet 64 are illustrated.Fig. 9 (a), (b), (c), (d) are respectively along figure 8 a-a line, b-b line, c-c line and d-d line sectional view.The a-a line of Fig. 8 is in the width direction along long metal sheet 64 The line that centre portion 64c extends in length direction, therefore, Fig. 9 (a) show the central portion 64c's of the width direction of long metal sheet 64 The section of long metal sheet 64.In addition, the d-d line of Fig. 8 is the end 64e along the width direction of long metal sheet 64 in length direction The line of extension, therefore, Fig. 9 (d) show the section of the long metal sheet 64 of the end 64e of the width direction of long metal sheet 64.Base Occur intermediate ripple in the long metal sheet 64 of present embodiment, therefore, width direction central portion 64c in long metal sheet 64 The degree of the undulations of middle appearance than the b-b line in the position of central portion 64c slightly away, such as Fig. 8 position in long gold The degree for belonging to the undulations occurred in plate 64 is big.In addition, also there is rippled edge in the long metal sheet 64 based on present embodiment, Therefore, the end 64e of width direction long metal sheet 64 the undulations of appearance degree ratio in end 64e slightly away Position, such as Fig. 8 c-c line the degree of undulations that occurs in long metal sheet 64 of position it is big.
In inspection operation, firstly, calculating the long gold in the preset range of length direction D1 in each position of width direction D2 Belong to the length of plate 64.Here, " length " refers to, the undulations occurred in long metal sheet 64, length direction D1 length The length of the profile on the surface (the 1st face 64a or the 2nd face 64b) of metal plate 64.Specifically, such as Fig. 9 (a), (b), (c), (d) It is shown, length la, lb, lc of the long metal sheet 64 of the position shown in the a-a line of Fig. 8, b-b line, c-c line and d-d line and Ld is also contemplated that the undulations shown in long metal sheet 64 and is measured.To the side of the length for calculating long metal sheet 64 Method is not particularly limited.For example, calculate central portion 64c long metal sheet 64 length la when, firstly, allow to measurement with it is right As the distance between object range unit width direction D2 central portion 64c along the length direction D1 of long metal sheet 64 in length It is scanned on metal plate 64, thus alongst D1 at predetermined intervals carries out the height and position on the surface of long metal sheet 64 Measurement.The interval is in the range of such as 1mm or more and 5mm or less.Then, depicting will be smoothly connected between each measuring point Curve calculates thereafter the length of a curve.The length la of the long metal sheet 64 of central portion 64c can be obtained as a result,.In addition, changing Such measurement is repeated while the position of width direction D2, so that the long gold of the position of width direction D2 can be obtained Belong to the length of plate 64.
Then, long on the basis of the minimum value of the length of the long metal sheet 64 obtained in each position of width direction D2 setting Degree.In present embodiment, the length lb of the long metal sheet 64 of the position shown in the b-b line as Fig. 8 is set to datum length. Thereafter, by the length of the long metal sheet 64 of the position of width direction D2 and the difference of datum length lb relative to datum length lb Ratio can be regarded as extension rate.Such as the extension rate of the long metal sheet 64 of central portion 64c is exported by (la-lb)/lb.Figure 10 be the figure for showing the curve 80 of extension rate of calculating.In Figure 10, horizontal axis shows the position of the width direction D2 of long metal sheet 64 It sets, the longitudinal axis is with 10-5The order of magnitude extension rate is shown.The upper section of the horizontal axis of Figure 10 is described with the order of magnitude of mm with width direction The central portion 64c of D2 be origin in the case where width direction D2 position.In addition, the lower section of the horizontal axis of Figure 10 shows width with % Spend the ratio of the overall with relative to long metal sheet 64 of the position of direction D2.It should be noted that in Figure 10, to as making The case where making the long metal sheet of the long metal sheet 64 of deposition mask 20 using the overall with 500mm is illustrated.Thus, for example The ratio for the position that central portion 64c apart from width direction D2 is+100mm is+20%.In addition, in Figure 10, the a-a line of Fig. 8, The extension rate of the long metal sheet 64 of the position of b-b line, c-c line and d-d line is indicated respectively with symbol A, B, C and D.
Thereafter, based on the obtained value for extending rate, implement the screening of long metal sheet 64.Here, in aftermentioned vapor deposition It is used only in the manufacturing process of mask 20 and meets following full terms (1)~(3) long metal sheet 64, thus implement long metal The screening of plate 64.
(1) the extension rate of the center portion R1 of long metal sheet 64 is 10 × 10-5Below;
(2) the extension rate of the end 64e of the width direction D2 of long metal sheet 64 is 20 × 10-5Below;With
(3) maximum value for extending extension rate of the rate greater than center portion R1 of end 64e;
Above-mentioned condition (1)~(3) are studied respectively below.It should be noted that in Figure 10, in long metal sheet 64 Centre part indicates that the peripheral portion on the outside of centrally located part R1 is indicated with symbol R2 with symbol R1.In present embodiment, center Part R1 is defined as accounting for 40% part of the overall with of long metal sheet 64 comprising in the width direction D2 of long metal sheet 64 Centre portion 64c.
It is general as shown in Figure 10 in the long metal sheet 64 for producing intermediate ripple and rippled edge, in long metal sheet 64 The central portion 64c of width direction nearby occurs extending the maximum (point A) of rate.In addition, in the width side from long metal sheet 64 To central portion occur extending the minimum (point B) of rate to peripheral portion side position slightly away.Also, extend rate from point B is gradually increased (point C) to the peripheral portion of width direction, also, in the end of width direction, the value for extending rate reaches maximum (point D).Therefore, in Figure 10 as indicated by chain dotted lines, depict and extension rate=10 × 10 are shown in center portion R1-5, in week Rim portion R2 shows extension rate=20 × 10-5Reference line 81 in the case where, the curve 80 for extending rate is located at reference line 81 Lower section, this expression meets above-mentioned condition (1) and (2).In the example shown in Fig. 10, above-mentioned condition (1) is met (2).
About condition (3), determine the end 64e of width direction D2 whether extend rate, i.e. extension rate at point D big In the maximum value of the extension rate of center portion R1 (in example shown in Fig. 10, for the extension rate at point A).It is shown in Fig. 10 In example, above-mentioned condition (3) are met.
By implementing such screening, even if causing to go out in long metal sheet 64 because the rolling rate of long metal sheet 64 is big In the case where existing undulations, can also judge whether the degree of the undulations can be in the system of deposition mask 20 later in advance Making becomes problem in the manufacturing process of process, organic EL display device.It can make 2 or more made simultaneously elongates as a result, The degree of the difference of the length of deposition mask 20 is in permissible range.Therefore, the effective district of the deposition mask 20 of manufacture can be made The deviation of the spacing of each through hole 25 in domain 22 is reduced, and the size essence of the pixel of organic EL display device can be improved as a result, Degree and position precision.In addition, the yield rate in the manufacturing process of deposition mask 20 can be improved.
It should be noted that for obtaining that there is the curve 80 for extending rate, overall with 500mm length shown in Fig. 10 The method of metal plate 64 is not particularly limited.
For example, by rolling base material 55, make have be more than the overall with of 500mm, the overall with of such as 700mm long metal The both ends of the width direction of the long metal sheet are cut away preset range, thus can make the long metal sheet of wide 500mm by plate thereafter 64.It should be noted that in the long metal sheet of the overall with 700mm, as with shown in double dot dash line, occasionally there are prolong in Figure 10 Stretching rate is more than 20 × 10-5Part.Even if can obtain meeting above-mentioned in this case, by the way that preset range is cut away at both ends Condition (1)~(3) long metal sheet 64.
Alternatively, in the case where preset range not being cut away at both ends above-mentioned condition (1) can also be met by rolling production The long metal sheet 64 of~(3).
