Definitions

  • the present invention relates to technology for manufacturing a shaped body which comprises Be-Cu alloy material.
  • Be-Cu alloy is widely used as an excellent raw material with high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
  • a Be-Cu alloy material having a suf­ficient formability to withstand severe working conditions.
  • the first mode is to subject the rolled sheet of the Be-Cu alloy to a subsequent age hardening, and deliver the material to customers as a so-called mill hardened material.
  • the material is then subjected to various works, including bending into the desired configuration of a parts body in the factory of the customer. In many cases, the shaped parts body so obtained is incorporated into the products as it is.
  • the second mode is to deliver to customers the rolled sheet of the Be-Cu alloy which is then subjected to various works into the desired configuration of a parts body in the factory of the customer, and subsequently to an age hardening in the factory of either the customer or the raw material supplier, to form a complete parts body with a desired strength.
  • the cold rolling to be effected after the solution treatment is a parameter dominantly influential on the characteristics of the material, and is intended to improve the product strength, to prevent the deformation of the material after the aging, and to promote the age precipitation.
  • the material already subjected to the age hardening as a mill hardened material
  • the material with a higher post aging strength has a decreased elongation, an inferior formability and markedly degraded freedom degree of bending.
  • the preservation of the desired formability of Be-Cu alloy could be achieved only with the sacrifice of the fundamental feature of the alloy, i.e. the excellent high strength.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve the Be-Cu alloy material, with an originally degraded formability as a result of the cold rolling with the reduction of 20% or more, such that the material is capable of withstanding a bending with a smaller radius of curvature during the shaping into the desired configuration of a parts body, and to readily realize the maximum post aging strength of the Be-Cu alloy which has already been shaped into the desired configuration.
  • a solution treatment is carried out with respect to a rolled Be-Cu alloy sheet including 0.2 to 0.8 wt% Be, 0.3 to 4.0 wt% Ni and/or Co, the balance consisting essentially of Cu.
  • This sheet is subjected to a cold rolling with a reduc­tion of 20% or more, and the cold rolled sheet is subjected to an annealing at a temperature of 250 to 550°C to recover the formability of the Be-Cu alloy material.
  • the so-obtained material is subjected to necessary works, including bending into a predetermined configuration of the parts body, and then to an aging at a temperature of 350-500°C, thereby to realize the maximum post aging strength.
  • the cold rolling carried out after the solution treatment is followed by an annealing at a predetermined temperature thereby to release part of the work strain and to recover the formability, and the so-obtained Be-Cu alloy material with an improved formability is then shaped into the desired configura­tion of the parts body and subjected to an age hardening, whereby it becomes possible to produce products with a desired high strength.
  • Be-Cu alloy which includes 0.2 to 0.8 wt% Be, 0.3 to 4.0 wt% Ni and/or Co, the balance consisting essentially of Cu.
  • the amount of Be has been defined as ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 wt%.
  • the amount of Ni and/or Co has been defined as ranging from 0.3 to 4.0 wt%.
  • the rolled sheet of Be-Cu alloy with the above-mentioned composition is subjected to a cold rolling, following the solution treatment, with the reduction of 20% or more.
  • a cold rolling following the solution treatment, with the reduction of 20% or more.
  • the present invention defines the temperature range of 250 to 550°C due to the reason that the temperature below 250°C does not result in a sufficient recovery of the formability, on one hand, while the temperature above 550°C results in an excessively aged state whereby a sufficiently high strength cannot be achieved through the age hardening after the shaping into the desired configuration, on the other hand.
  • the present invention defines the temperature range of 350 to 500°C due to the reason that the temperature below 350°C does not induce the precipitation hardening, on one hand, and the tempera­ture above 500°C, though effective to improve the electrical conductivity, results in an excessively aged state whereby a sufficient strength cannot be achieved, on the other hand.
  • R/t value The formability as mentioned in Table 1 has been determined with respect to rolled sheets of Be-Cu alloy prior to the age hardening step, and is expressed as R/t value, where R is a safety bending radius determined by whether or not cracks are formed in the bent portion of the sheet after it has been bent by 180° about an axis in parallel with the rolling direction, and t is the thickness of the sheet by which the safety bending radius is divided.
  • R is a safety bending radius determined by whether or not cracks are formed in the bent portion of the sheet after it has been bent by 180° about an axis in parallel with the rolling direction
  • t the thickness of the sheet by which the safety bending radius is divided.
  • a smaller R/t value indicates that the sheet is capable of withstanding a more severe work conditions including bending with a smaller bending radius.
  • the annealing has been carried out at a higher temperature so that the precipitation nuclei became coarse accompanying decrease in the post aging 0.2% yield strength.
  • the annealing has been carried out under a lower temperature so that is was not possible to achieve a sufficient recovery of the formability after the annealing.
  • the comparative sample (21) exhibits an excessively aged state as a result of aging under a higher temperature, while the comparative sample (22) is in a non-aged state due to the aging treatment under a lower temperature; for both of these samples the post aging 0.2% yield strength has decreased.
  • the cold rolling following the solution treatment is carried out with a higher value such as to improve the post aging strength and to prevent post aging deformations in an effective manner. Also, the degradation of the formability, which has hitherto been considered inevitable, can be prevented positively by the annealing at a predetermined temperature.
  • the solution treatment can be carried out with respect to the sheet of a greater thickness.
  • the solution treatment can be effected with respect to the sheet of 1.0 mm thickness.
  • the shape of the sheet can be properly corrected and also the aging precipita­tion can be more or less prompted, so that it is possible to prevent undesirable shrinkage arising during the aging after the material has been worked into the configuration of the parts body.
