Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lead-free copper alloy.
  • copper alloys with Sn and Al are known. Zr must also be added to these for grain refinement.
  • Such copper alloys are, for example, in EP 1 777 305 B1 , EP 1 502 964 B1 as well as the EP 1 777 308 B1 described.
  • the DE 103 08 778 B3 discloses a lead-free copper alloy which can be used in the field of drinking water and sanitary installations.
  • the well-known copper alloy necessarily contains Fe and/or Co as well as Ni and Mn.
  • the EP 1 600 516 A2 , EP 1 559 802 A1 , EP 1 600 517 A2 , EP 1 045 041 A1 as well as the EP 1 508 626 A1 each disclose lead-free copper alloys in which the content of Sn is at least 0.3% by weight.
  • the Al content is at least 0.1%.
  • the aforementioned lead-free alloys do not always form a sufficiently corrosion-inhibiting top layer or oxide layer when they come into contact with drinking water. As a result, undesired corrosion occurs due to selective leaching of Zn from the alloy (so-called "dezincification").
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a lead-free copper alloy is to be specified whose corrosion resistance is improved, particularly when used in the drinking water sector.
  • a lead-free copper alloy comprising 70.0 to 83.0% by weight of Cu, 2.0 to 2.9% by weight of Si, 0.05 to 0.10% by weight of P, 0.01 to less than 0.30% by weight of Sn, balance: Zn and unavoidable impurities.
  • the proposed lead-free copper alloy is characterized by improved corrosion resistance, especially when it comes into contact with drinking water.
  • the improved corrosion resistance is attributed to the formation of a top layer or oxide layer with improved adhesion.
  • the improved adhesion is already achieved with a Sn content of less than 0.30% by weight.
  • the corrosion resistance can surprisingly be increased by adding less than 0.1% by weight of Al.
  • the Cu content is advantageously 73.3 to 76.8% by weight.
  • the copper alloy according to the invention comprises 0.01 to less than 0.1% by weight of Al.
  • the proposed addition of Al improves the adhesion of the top layer.
  • the proportion of Si is 2.40 to 2.90% by weight, preferably 2.60 to 2.80% by weight, advantageously 2.60 to 2.78% by weight.
  • the proposed addition of Si helps to reduce the kappa phase to a maximum proportion of 25% by weight. It has been observed that reducing the level of kappa phase also contributes to improved corrosion resistance.
  • the proportion of kappa phase is preferably at most 25% by weight, in particular 5 to 20% by weight.
  • the proportion of Al is advantageously 0.01 to 0.05% by weight.
  • the proportion of P can be 0.08 to 0.10% by weight. The proposed proportions enable the production of a particularly corrosion-resistant alloy.
  • the proposed lead-free copper alloy is particularly suitable for the production of installation components for the drinking water sector, for example for the production of fittings, fittings, pipes and the like.
  • Table 1 shows the composition of experimental alloys.
  • Table 1 Alloy No. Alloying Elements (wt%) Cu si P sn Al 2737 76.43 3.35 0.091 0.003 0.002 2838 76.42 3.02 0.091 0.003 0.002 2839 76.45 2.72 0.091 0.003 0.001 2840 75.99 2.73 0.093 0.003 0.001 2841 76.44 2.75 0.052 0.002 0.001 2842 76.46 2.71 0.09 0.103 0.001 2843 76.52 2.71 0.093 0.287 0.001 2845 76.33 3.1 0.092 0.019 0 2846 76.16 3.4 0.048 0.005 0 2858 76.6 2.61 0.095 0.288 0.042
  • test specimens were produced as follows: A melt formed from the alloying elements was poured into sand molds with a diameter of 40 mm at a temperature of 1020°C to 1050°C. The solidified specimens were then turned to a diameter of 24 mm. The specimens were then reduced to a diameter of 8 mm at a temperature of 700 °C using an extrusion simulation. Finally, the specimens were annealed at 550°C to 580°C for 2 hours and then cooled in air.
  • alloy Nos. 2842, 2843 and 2858 correspond to alloys according to the invention.
  • the other alloys are comparison alloys.
  • Table 2 shows results of structural analysis.

  • the only figure shows the maximum depth of dezincification [ ⁇ m] for the 3 alloys Nos. 2842, 2843 and 2858 according to the invention in comparison to alloy No. 2846 (prior art).
  • the "maximum depth of dezincification” is the depth up to which Zn was detectable according to the following test protocol.
  • the samples were sawn.
  • the sawing surface was brought into contact with drinking water for a period of 8 weeks.
  • the drinking water was changed twice a week.
  • the hardness of the drinking water was adjusted to a value of 25°dH by adding NaCl and MgSO 4 .
  • the chloride content was 250 mg/l
  • the sulfate content was also 250 mg/l.
  • the exposure test took place under room conditions.
  • the sample was cut perpendicular to the surface, polished and then optically analyzed using a reflected light microscope. The depth of the dezincification was evident from the characteristic color of the zinc-free sponge copper.
  • alloys Nos. 2842, 2843 and 2858 according to the invention exhibit a drastically reduced maximum depth of dezincification compared to alloy No. 2846 (prior art). In particular, no dezincification could be observed with alloy no. 2843 according to the invention.
  • the alloy according to the invention is characterized by a drastically improved corrosion resistance when in contact with drinking water.
