Description

Copper alloy strip, method for producing same, resistor material for resistor using copper alloy strip, and resistor
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a copper alloy strip, a method for producing the same, a resistor material for a resistor using the copper alloy strip, and a resistor, and more particularly, to a copper alloy strip suitable for producing a substrate (chip) by press working, and having small variations in the resistance value of the produced substrate.
Background
The metal material of the resistor used in the resistor is required to have a stable resistance even when the ambient temperature changes, that is, a low Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) as an index thereof. The temperature coefficient of resistance is a parameter expressed in parts per million (ppm) per 1℃as TCR (10 6 /K)={(R-R 0 )/R 0 }×{1/(T-T 0 )}×10 6 Is expressed by the expression of (3). Here, T in the formula represents a test temperature (. Degree. C.), T 0 The reference temperature (. Degree. C.) is represented by R, the resistance value (. OMEGA.) at the test temperature T is represented by R 0 Indicating a reference temperature T 0 Resistance value (Ω) at that time. Since the TCR of cu—mn—ni alloy or cu—mn—sn alloy is very small, it is widely used as an alloy material constituting a resistor.
However, in the resistor manufactured by press molding such an alloy material, strain is induced in the alloy material during press molding, and there is a case where the resistance value is deviated, and the resistor cannot be stably manufactured.
Patent document 1 discloses that the residual strain can be removed by heating a copper alloy raw material in a non-oxidizing atmosphere formed of hydrogen after subjecting the copper alloy raw material to a rolling treatment at a high reduction rate, and as a result, the temperature coefficient of resistance can be reduced. However, even in the alloy material manufactured in this way, strain is unevenly remained, and the resistance value is deviated.

Examples of the component which is an unavoidable impurity include nonmetallic elements such as sulfur (S) and oxygen (O), and metallic elements such as aluminum (Al) and antimony (Sb). The upper limit of the content of these components may be set to 0.05 mass% of each of the above components and 0.20 mass% of the total amount of the above components.
Crystalline structure of copper alloy strip
The alloy strip of the present invention is characterized in that the average value of KAM when KAM is measured by a back-scattered electron diffraction (EBSD) method and calculated is 1 DEG or more and less than 4 DEG, and the ratio of the area of KAM to the entire area where KAM measurement is performed is 20% or more and less than 50%.
In such a copper alloy strip, since the average value of KAM when KAM is measured by a back-scattered electron diffraction method and calculated is 1 ° or more and less than 4 °, the copper alloy strip has a very small strain, and strain generated during press working can be suppressed (offset) by the strain, and variations in the resistance values between products and batches can be suppressed. On the other hand, if the average value of KAM is smaller than 1 °, strain is induced in the copper alloy strip (recrystallized state), and variations in resistance value occur between products and batches due to the strain induced by press working. If KAM has an average value of 4 ° or more, diffusion occurs excessively in the case of a use method of heat bonding such as plating or welding of copper alloy strips, and variations in the resistance values between products and batches occur.
In addition, the copper alloy strip of the present invention can more effectively suppress variations in the resistance value between products and batches by setting the area of KAM to a value of 1 ° or more and less than 4 ° to a ratio of 20% or more and less than 50%, preferably 20% or more and 45% or less.
If the KAM value is 1 ° or more and the area ratio of less than 4 ° is less than 20%, the area ratio of at least one of less than 1 ° and 4 ° increases, and as in the above, strain is likely to be induced by press working, or diffusion is likely to occur excessively in the case of a use method in which a copper alloy strip is subjected to heat bonding such as plating or welding, and there is a possibility that variations in the product and lot-to-lot resistance values occur. On the other hand, even if KAM is set to a value of 1 ° or more and a ratio of an area smaller than 4 ° is set to 50% or more, diffusion occurs excessively in the case of a use method of heat bonding such as plating or welding to a copper alloy strip, and there is a possibility that variations in the resistance values between products and batches may occur.
Thus, the copper alloy strip of the present invention has a stable resistance even after press working and in a use mode in which the copper alloy strip is subjected to heat bonding such as plating or welding by measuring and calculating KAM by the back-scattered electron diffraction (EBSD method) and the average value of KAM is 1 ° or more and less than 4 °, and the ratio of the area of KAM to the entire area in which KAM measurement is performed is 20% or more and less than 50% by weight.
In addition, relative to the whole area by back scattering electron diffraction method for KAM determination, preferably KAM value is 6 DEG to less than 15 DEG area of the ratio of 1% to 5%. The percentage of the area of KAM ranging from 6 ° to less than 15 ° to 1% to 5% relative to the entire area where KAM measurement is performed means that the high strain region having poor ductility is moderately provided and the structure is thermally stable. The high strain region serves as a starting point of fracture during punching, and thus punching can be performed without increasing the strain amount in the copper alloy strip, and dimensional accuracy can be improved and variation in the resistance value between products and batches can be more effectively suppressed.
KAM was measured by a back-scattered electron diffraction method using JSM-7001FA manufactured by japan electronics corporation. The copper alloy strip was subjected to resin embedding in a cross section parallel to the rolling direction and mirror finishing by electrolytic polishing or the like to prepare a measurement sample. For example, the surface of the sample may be mirror finished by immersing the copper alloy strip in a phosphoric acid solution and applying electricity for 60 seconds to perform electrolytic polishing. Further, on a cross section of the copper alloy strip located on the sample surface, a rectangular field of view (for example, 100 μm×100 μm) located in a region divided by a virtual line drawn out to be 1/4 of the thickness position of the copper alloy strip from each of the two surfaces of the copper alloy strip was set as a measurement target, and measurement was performed with a step size of 0.05 μm. The average value of KAM was calculated using Analysis software OIM by TSL corporation, using the first adjacent measurement values bordered by the case where the difference in crystal orientation was 15 ° or more, for all points. In the visual field region, the area ratio per 1 ° was obtained by dividing the range of 0 ° or more and less than 15 ° into 15 parts, and the ratio of 1 ° or more and less than 4 ° and the ratio of 6 ° or more and less than 15 ° with respect to the entire area measured by KAM for measuring the area were obtained. Such measurements were performed at arbitrary 5 sites, and the average value thereof was calculated.
Physical Properties of copper alloy strip
The vickers hardness HV of the alloy strip of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is preferably 150 to 200, more preferably 150 to 190. When the vickers hardness is within such a range, strain due to press working can be suppressed in particular, and a change in characteristics such as resistance value due to heat can be suppressed.
The vickers hardness was measured from the surface of the copper alloy strip according to the method defined in JIS Z2244 (2009). The load (test force) at this time was 2.9N, and the pressing time of the indenter was 15s.
The copper alloy strip of the present invention is useful as a resistive material for resistors, such as shunt resistors and chip resistors.
(2) Method for producing copper alloy strip
The method for producing a copper alloy strip according to one embodiment of the present invention described above will be described in detail. The manufacturing method is characterized by comprising the following steps: a 1 st heat treatment step of heating a copper alloy raw material having substantially the same alloy composition as the alloy composition of the copper alloy strip in a high temperature range of 800 ℃ to 950 ℃; a hot working procedure; a 1 st cold working step of cold working at a high working rate of 50% or more and a 2 nd heat treatment step of heating at a medium temperature range of 400 ℃ to 700 ℃ inclusive are set to 1 or more steps in 1 group of steps; a 2 nd cold working step of performing cold working at a low working rate of 5% or more and less than 50%; and a 3 rd heat treatment step of heating at 200 ℃ or more and 400 ℃ or less for 2 hours or more and 6 hours or less. The respective steps are described below.
< procedure for producing copper alloy raw Material >)
The alloy composition of the copper alloy raw material is substantially the same as the alloy composition of the copper alloy strip. Examples of the copper alloy raw material include an ingot (ingot) produced by casting, but are not particularly limited. The reason why the alloy composition of the copper alloy raw material is "substantially the same as the alloy composition of the copper alloy strip here is that the copper alloy raw material is considered to be lost due to vaporization (evaporation) when volatile (vaporized) components are contained in the copper alloy raw material in each step from the copper alloy raw material to the production of the copper alloy strip.
< 1 st Heat treatment Process >
The 1 st heat treatment step is a step of heating the copper alloy raw material in a high temperature range of 800 to 950 ℃. By setting the heating temperature in the 1 st heat treatment step to a high temperature range of 800 ℃ to 950 ℃, solidification segregation, crystal formation, and precipitation occurring during casting can be eliminated, and the raw material can be homogenized.
The heating time in the 1 st heat treatment step is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 minutes to 10 hours.
< Heat Process >)
The hot working step is a step of working (for example, rolling) at a temperature of, for example, about 800 to 950 ℃ so as to have a desired plate thickness. The hot working may be either rolling working or extrusion working, and is not particularly limited.
< cold working procedure 1 >)
The 1 st cold working step is a step of performing cold working at a high working rate of 50% or more. In the 1 st cold working step, cold working is suitably performed using a conventional method. By setting the working ratio in the 1 st cold working step to a high working ratio of 50% or more, the strain amount serving as the driving force for recrystallization can be ensured, and recrystallization in the next step can be facilitated.
< 2 nd Heat treatment Process >
The 2 nd heat treatment step is a step of heating at a medium temperature range of 400 to 700 ℃. By setting the heating temperature in the 2 nd heat treatment step to a medium temperature range of 400 ℃ to 700 ℃, a uniform structure from which recrystallization and strain are removed can be obtained. In the 2 nd heat treatment step, heat treatment is suitably performed using a conventional method.
The heating time in the 2 nd heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 seconds to 10 hours.
When the two steps of the 1 st cold working step and the 2 nd heat treatment step are 1 set of steps, only 1 set of steps may be performed, or 2 or more sets of steps may be repeated.
< procedure 2 cold rolling >
The 2 nd cold rolling step is a step of cold working at a low reduction ratio of 5% or more and less than 50%. By performing cold working at a low working rate in this way, rolling can be performed while suppressing strain unevenness in the alloy material. On the other hand, if the reduction ratio in the 2 nd cold rolling step is 50% or more, the strain generated at this time can be maintained in a non-uniform state even when heating is performed in the 3 rd heat treatment step in the subsequent stage, and variations in the resistance value between press-molded products and batches can be suppressed. Further, by setting the processing ratio to more preferably 20% or more and less than 50%, the ratio of the area of KAM to 6 ° or more and less than 15 ° can be set to an appropriate range with respect to the entire area where KAM measurement is performed.
< Heat treatment procedure 3 >
The 3 rd heat treatment step is a step of heating at 200 ℃ or more and 400 ℃ or less for 2 hours or more and 6 hours or less. By performing heating in the low temperature region for a long period of time in this way, strain in the crystal can be suppressed and regulated without recrystallization of the crystal grains. By setting the heating time to 2 hours or longer, the low strain region where KAM is less than 1 ° is increased, and thus the ratio of the area where KAM is 1 ° or more and less than 4 ° can be adjusted to a range of 20% or more and less than 50%. On the other hand, if the heating time exceeds 6 hours, the low strain region is excessively enlarged, so that the average value of KAM is less than 1 °, and it is difficult to obtain desired characteristics. If the heating temperature is lower than 200 ℃, diffusion is less likely to occur, and strain in the crystal is less likely to be suppressed, whereby desired characteristics cannot be obtained, whereas if the heating temperature is 400 ℃ or higher, the average value of KAM becomes smaller than 1 ° due to recrystallization, and desired characteristics cannot be obtained. Further, by performing the long-time heat treatment at a heating temperature of 250 ℃ or higher in the 3 rd heat treatment step, the strain in the highly strained region having a KAM value of 6 ° or more and less than 15 ° can be effectively reduced, and the proportion of the area having a KAM value of 6 ° or more and less than 15 ° to the entire area where KAM measurement is performed can be 1% or more and 5% or less.
The above method for producing a copper alloy strip may be provided with steps other than the above steps. For example, a surface cutting step of removing a thick oxide film formed after a thermal processing step by mechanical polishing, a degreasing step of removing rolling oil, a polishing step of mechanically or chemically removing a thin oxide film produced by heat treatment, a rust prevention step for preventing discoloration, and the like can be given.

Examples
Next, examples of the present invention and comparative examples will be described in order to further clarify the effects of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
(inventive examples 1 to 15 and comparative examples 1 to 5)
An ingot (10 kg) having the alloy composition described in the column "alloy composition" of table 1 was produced by casting. The ingot is subjected to a 1 st heat treatment step under conditions of a heating temperature of 800 to 950 ℃ and a heating time of 10 minutes to 10 hours, and after homogenizing the alloy components, the ingot is formed into a plate shape (dimensions: length 500mm, width 100mm, thickness 10 mm) by a heat treatment step having a working ratio of more than 70%, and water-cooled to obtain a plate-like article.
Then, a 1 st cold working step with a high working ratio of 90% or more and a 2 nd heat treatment step of heating in a medium temperature range of 400 ℃ to 700 ℃ are performed. The 1 st cold working step and the 2 nd heat treatment step were performed once (in one set) in each of invention examples 1 to 5, 7, 8, 10 to 15 and comparative examples 1 to 5. In invention examples 6 and 9, the processing rate and the heating conditions were changed in groups 1 and 2, and two (two groups) of treatments were performed.
Thereafter, a 2 nd cold working step of a low working ratio of 5% or more and less than 50% and a 3 rd heat treatment step of heating at 200 ℃ or more and less than 400 ℃ for 2 hours or more and 6 hours or less are performed. In comparative example 1, the 2 nd cold working step and the 3 rd heat treatment step were not performed, and in comparative example 4, the 3 rd heat treatment step was not performed, and thus "-" is marked in the column of the non-performed step in table 1.
[ composition of copper alloy strip ]
The alloy composition (mass%) of the copper alloy strip was measured by ICP analysis and is shown in table 1 below.
[ Back-scattered electron diffraction ]
KAM was measured by a back scattering electron diffraction method using JSM-7001FA manufactured by japan electronics corporation. The copper alloy strip was subjected to resin embedding in a cross section parallel to the rolling direction and mirror finishing by electrolytic polishing or the like to prepare a measurement sample. The measurement was performed with a step size of 0.05 μm using a 100 μm×100 μm field area in the center of the plate thickness of the cross-section sample as a measurement target. The average value of KAM was calculated using Analysis software OIM Analysis manufactured by TSL corporation, with a difference in crystal orientation of 15 ° or more as a boundary. In this field of view, the area ratio of at least 0 ° and less than 15 ° is divided into 15 parts (at least 0 ° and less than 1 °, at least 1 ° and less than 2 °, at least 2 ° and less than 3 °, at least … … °, and less than 15 °), and the area ratio of at least 1 ° and less than 4 ° in the 100 μm×100 μm field of view to be measured is obtained, whereby the ratio of the area of KAM having at least 1 ° and less than 4 ° and the ratio of the area of KAM having at least 6 ° and less than 15 ° are obtained. Such measurements were performed at arbitrary 5 sites, and the average value thereof was calculated.
[ Vickers hardness ]
The vickers hardness was measured from the surface of the copper alloy material according to the method defined in JIS Z2244 (2009). The load (test force) at this time was 2.9N, and the pressing time of the indenter was 15s.
[ deviation of resistance value ]
A copper alloy substrate having a thickness of 0.2mm, a width of 2mm and a length of 60mm was plated with tin (Sn) having a thickness of 5 μm on one side to form a substrate, and the substrate was press-molded to obtain a sample. The thermal influence at the time of mounting was expected, and after the sample was subjected to a heat treatment at 260℃for 30 minutes, the resistance value was measured by a four terminal method in which the distance between voltage terminals was 50 mm. The measurement was performed at n=500, and standard deviation and average value were obtained. In terms of the deviation of the resistance values, samples having a value of 0.50% or less obtained by the expression ((standard deviation/average) ×100) were rated as "class a", samples having a value of more than 0.50% and 0.55% or less were rated as "class B", samples having a value of more than 0.55% and 0.60% or less were rated as "class C", and samples having a value of more than 0.60% were rated as "class D". When the value obtained by the expression ((standard deviation/average value) ×100) is 0.60% or less (i.e., a-C level evaluation), the deviation of the resistance value is evaluated as a satisfactory level.
Sn plating is performed after pretreatment and acid washing. Pretreatment conditions, pickling conditions and Sn plating conditions were as follows.
