Description

本発明は、錫めっき材およびその製造方法に関し、特に、挿抜可能な接続端子などの材料として使用される錫めっき材およびその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a tin-plated material and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a tin-plated material used as a material such as a connectable / detachable connection terminal and a method for manufacturing the same.

従来、挿抜可能な接続端子の材料として、銅や銅合金などの導体素材の最外層に錫めっきを施した錫めっき材が使用されている。特に、錫めっき材は、接触抵抗が小さく、自動車などの接続端子の材料として使用されている。   Conventionally, a tin-plated material obtained by applying tin plating to the outermost layer of a conductor material such as copper or copper alloy has been used as a material for a connection terminal that can be inserted and removed. In particular, the tin plating material has a low contact resistance and is used as a material for connection terminals of automobiles and the like.

しかし、錫めっき材は、軟質で端子接続時に変形を生じ易いため、挿入時の摩擦係数が高いという問題がある。また、自動車などの接続端子では、端子の多極化が進んでおり、端子の数に比例して、組立て時の挿入力が上昇し、作業負荷が問題になっている。   However, since the tin plating material is soft and easily deforms at the time of terminal connection, there is a problem that the friction coefficient at the time of insertion is high. In connection terminals of automobiles and the like, the number of terminals is increasing, and the insertion force at the time of assembly increases in proportion to the number of terminals, and the work load becomes a problem.

このような問題を解消するため、錫めっき後にリフロー処理を施した錫リフロー材が、自動車などの接続端子の一般的な材料として使用されている。この錫リフロー材では、軟質層である錫めっき皮膜の膜厚を薄くし、さらにリフロー処理により硬質な錫合金層を下地に形成することにより、摩擦係数の低減をしている。また、錫を主体とする金属マトリクス中に耐磨耗性または潤滑性の固体粒子を複合化させた複合材の皮膜を電気めっきにより導体素材上に形成することにより、機械的な耐摩耗性を向上させることが提案され(例えば、特許文献1〜3参照)、このような複合めっき皮膜を応用した接続端子が提案されている(例えば、特許文献4参照)。また、錫または錫/鉛と黒鉛の複合めっき皮膜を導体素材上に形成することにより、耐摩耗性に優れた導電性皮膜を形成することが提案されている(例えば、特許文献5参照)。さらに、本発明者らは、炭素粒子および芳香族カルボニル化合物を添加した錫めっき液を使用して電気めっきを行うことにより、錫層中に炭素粒子を含有する複合材からなる皮膜が素材上に形成され、同種の錫めっき材同士の摩擦係数が0.18以下の錫めっき材を製造する方法を提案している(特願2005−86074号)。   In order to solve such a problem, a tin reflow material subjected to a reflow treatment after tin plating is used as a general material for connection terminals of automobiles and the like. In this tin reflow material, the friction coefficient is reduced by reducing the film thickness of the tin plating film, which is a soft layer, and forming a hard tin alloy layer on the base by reflow treatment. In addition, by forming a coating of composite material, which is a composite of wear-resistant or lubricious solid particles in a metal matrix mainly composed of tin, on the conductor material by electroplating, mechanical wear resistance is improved. Improvement is proposed (for example, refer to patent documents 1 to 3), and a connection terminal using such a composite plating film is proposed (for example, refer to patent document 4). In addition, it has been proposed to form a conductive film having excellent wear resistance by forming a composite plating film of tin or tin / lead and graphite on a conductor material (see, for example, Patent Document 5). Furthermore, the present inventors perform electroplating using a tin plating solution to which carbon particles and an aromatic carbonyl compound are added, whereby a film made of a composite material containing carbon particles in a tin layer is formed on the material. A method for producing a tin-plated material having a friction coefficient of 0.18 or less formed between the same kind of tin-plated materials has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-86074).

しかし、錫リフロー材は、一般的に摩擦係数が0.2〜0.30程度で比較的高く、上記の特許文献1〜5の方法により製造された錫めっき材の摩擦係数も比較的高く、特に、特許文献5に記載された錫と黒鉛の複合めっき材の摩擦係数(同種の錫めっき材同士の摩擦係数)は0.2程度と比較的高くなっている。   However, the tin reflow material generally has a relatively high friction coefficient of about 0.2 to 0.30, and the friction coefficient of the tin-plated material manufactured by the methods of Patent Documents 1 to 5 is also relatively high. In particular, the friction coefficient of the tin-graphite composite plating material described in Patent Document 5 (the friction coefficient between the same kind of tin plating materials) is relatively high at about 0.2.

また、通常の接続端子では、雄端子と雌端子の嵌合時の接触面の面積を減少させて挿入力を小さくするために、一方の端子の接触面の形状を平面にし、他方の端子の接触面の形状を凸面にインデント加工しており、一般に両端子のめっき皮膜の種類が異なっている。そのため、特願2005−86074号に提案された方法によって製造された錫めっき材からなる端子であっても、その端子がインデント加工され、嵌合する相手方の端子が錫リフロー材からなる場合には、摩擦係数が0.2程度と比較的高くなる場合がある。   Also, in the normal connection terminal, in order to reduce the insertion force by reducing the area of the contact surface when the male terminal and the female terminal are fitted, the shape of the contact surface of one terminal is made flat, The shape of the contact surface is indented into a convex surface, and the types of plating films on both terminals are generally different. Therefore, even if the terminal is made of a tin-plated material manufactured by the method proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-86074, the terminal is indented and the mating counterpart terminal is made of a tin reflow material. In some cases, the friction coefficient is relatively high at about 0.2.

したがって、本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑み、インデント加工した場合でも、錫リフロー材などの他の種類の錫めっき材との間の摩擦係数が極めて低い錫めっき材およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, in view of such conventional problems, the present invention provides a tin-plated material having a very low coefficient of friction with other types of tin-plated materials such as a tin reflow material even when indented, and a method for producing the same. The purpose is to provide.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究した結果、グラファイト粒子および芳香族カルボニル化合物を添加した錫めっき液を使用して電気めっきを行う際、錫めっき液中のグラファイト粒子の濃度を20g/L未満、好ましくは1〜10g/L、さらに好ましくは5〜10g/Lにすることにより、錫層中にグラファイト粒子が分散した複合材からなる皮膜を素材上に形成し、インデント加工した場合でも、錫リフロー材などの他の種類の錫めっき材との間の摩擦係数が極めて低い錫めっき材を製造することができることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that the concentration of graphite particles in the tin plating solution when performing electroplating using a tin plating solution to which graphite particles and an aromatic carbonyl compound are added. Is formed to be indented by forming a film made of a composite material in which graphite particles are dispersed in a tin layer on the material by making the amount less than 20 g / L, preferably 1 to 10 g / L, more preferably 5 to 10 g / L. Even in this case, it was found that a tin plating material having a very low friction coefficient with other types of tin plating materials such as a tin reflow material can be produced, and the present invention has been completed.

すなわち、本発明による錫めっき材の製造方法は、グラファイト粒子および芳香族カルボニル化合物を添加した錫めっき液を使用して電気めっきを行うことにより、錫層中にグラファイト粒子を含有する複合材からなる皮膜を素材上に形成する錫めっき材の製造方法において、錫めっき液中のグラファイト粒子の濃度を20g/L未満、好ましくは1〜10g/L、さらに好ましくは5〜10g/Lにすることを特徴とする。この錫めっき材の製造方法において、芳香族カルボニル化合物が、芳香族アルデヒドまたは芳香族ケトンであるのが好ましい。 That is, the manufacturing method of the tin plating material by this invention consists of a composite material which contains a graphite particle in a tin layer by performing electroplating using the tin plating liquid which added the graphite particle and the aromatic carbonyl compound. In the method for producing a tin plating material for forming a film on a material, the concentration of graphite particles in the tin plating solution is less than 20 g / L, preferably 1 to 10 g / L, more preferably 5 to 10 g / L. Features. In this method for producing a tin plating material, the aromatic carbonyl compound is preferably an aromatic aldehyde or an aromatic ketone.

また本発明による錫めっき材は、錫層中にグラファイト粒子を含有する複合材からなる皮膜が素材上に形成され、同種同士の摩擦係数が0.20〜0.24のリフロー処理を施した錫めっき材との間の摩擦係数が0.16以下、好ましくは0.13以下であることを特徴とする。この錫めっき材において、表面の平均粗さが0.1〜0.5μm、最大高さが8〜16μm、十点平均粗さが7〜12μm、光沢度0.8以上であり、皮膜の厚さが0.5〜3μm、皮膜中の炭素の含有量が1.2重量%以下であるのが好ましい。 Further, the tin plating material according to the present invention is a tin-plated tin film in which a film made of a composite material containing graphite particles is formed on the material and subjected to reflow treatment with a friction coefficient of 0.20 to 0.24 of the same kind. The coefficient of friction with the plating material is 0.16 or less, preferably 0.13 or less. In this tin-plated product, 0.1 to 0.5 [mu] m is arithmetic average roughness of the surface, the maximum height 8~16Myuemu, and the average roughness ten points 7~12Myuemu, glossiness 0.8 or more, film The thickness is preferably 0.5 to 3 μm, and the carbon content in the film is preferably 1.2% by weight or less.

さらに、本発明による接続端子は、雌端子とこの雌端子に嵌合する雄端子とからなり、雌端子と雄端子の少なくとも一方の少なくとも他方と接触する部分が、上記の錫めっき材からなることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, the connection terminal according to the present invention is composed of a female terminal and a male terminal fitted to the female terminal, and a portion in contact with at least one of the female terminal and at least one of the male terminals is composed of the above tin plating material. It is characterized by.

本発明によれば、インデント加工した場合でも、錫リフロー材などの他の種類の錫めっき材との間の摩擦係数が極めて低い錫めっき材を製造することができる。この錫めっき材は、自動車用などの接続端子がさらに多極化された場合にも十分に対応可能な材料として使用することができ、嵌合する相手方の端子が錫リフロー材からなる場合でも、挿入力が小さい接続端子を製造することができる。   According to the present invention, even when indented, a tin-plated material having a very low friction coefficient with other types of tin-plated materials such as a tin reflow material can be produced. This tin-plated material can be used as a material that can sufficiently handle even when the connection terminals for automobiles and the like are further multipolarized, and even when the mating counterpart terminal is made of a tin reflow material, the insertion force Can be produced.

本発明による錫めっき材の製造方法の実施の形態では、炭素粒子および芳香族カルボニル化合物を添加した錫めっき液を使用して電気めっきを行うことにより、錫層中に炭素粒子を含有する複合材からなる皮膜を素材上に形成する際に、錫めっき液中の炭素粒子の濃度を20g/L未満、好ましくは1〜10g/L、さらに好ましくは5〜10g/Lにする。   In an embodiment of a method for producing a tin plating material according to the present invention, a composite material containing carbon particles in a tin layer is obtained by performing electroplating using a tin plating solution to which carbon particles and an aromatic carbonyl compound are added. When forming a film composed of the above material on the material, the concentration of carbon particles in the tin plating solution is less than 20 g / L, preferably 1 to 10 g / L, and more preferably 5 to 10 g / L.

錫めっき液としては、アルカノールスルホン酸からなる錫めっき液を使用するのが好ましい。炭素粒子としては、様々な炭素粒子を使用することができるが、鱗片状や土状のグラファイト粒子を使用するのが好ましい。芳香族カルボニル化合物としては、芳香族アルデヒドまたは芳香族ケトンを使用するのが好ましい。錫めっき液に芳香族カルボニル化合物を添加することにより、錫めっき液中において炭素粒子が弱い凝集の分散状態になり、錫マトリクス中に炭素粒子が島状に分散された皮膜を形成することができる。従来の炭素粒子が複合化した皮膜では、炭素粒子を略均一に分散させるために種々の湿潤材を添加して錫マトリクス中に分散した皮膜を形成しているが、本実施の形態のように錫マトリクス中の炭素粒子の凝集状態を制御することによってさらに低い摩擦係数の皮膜を形成することができる。   As the tin plating solution, a tin plating solution made of alkanol sulfonic acid is preferably used. Various carbon particles can be used as the carbon particles, but it is preferable to use scaly or earthy graphite particles. As the aromatic carbonyl compound, an aromatic aldehyde or an aromatic ketone is preferably used. By adding an aromatic carbonyl compound to the tin plating solution, the carbon particles become weakly aggregated and dispersed in the tin plating solution, and a film in which the carbon particles are dispersed in an island shape in the tin matrix can be formed. . In a conventional film in which carbon particles are combined, various wetting materials are added to form a film dispersed in a tin matrix in order to disperse the carbon particles substantially uniformly. A film having a lower coefficient of friction can be formed by controlling the aggregation state of the carbon particles in the tin matrix.

また、めっき液中の炭素粒子の濃度は、20g/L未満であり、1〜10g/Lであるのが好ましく、5〜10g/Lであるのがさらに好ましい。1g/L未満では、炭素粒子が表面構造を構築して複合化するには不十分であり、20g/L以上では、炭素粒子が複合化する量が増加して、錫マトリクス中において炭素粒子が適切な凝集状態で分散された皮膜を形成することができないからである。また、電気めっきの際の電流密度は5〜15A/dmであるのが好ましい。5A/dm未満では生産性が悪く、15A/dmを超えるとめっきやけが生じるからである。 Moreover, the density | concentration of the carbon particle in a plating solution is less than 20 g / L, it is preferable that it is 1-10 g / L, and it is more preferable that it is 5-10 g / L. If it is less than 1 g / L, the carbon particles are insufficient for building up a surface structure and complexing, and if it is 20 g / L or more, the amount of carbon particles that are complexed increases, and the carbon particles are contained in the tin matrix. This is because it is impossible to form a film dispersed in an appropriate aggregated state. Moreover, it is preferable that the current density in the case of electroplating is 5-15 A / dm < 2 >. If it is less than 5 A / dm 2 , the productivity is poor, and if it exceeds 15 A / dm 2 , plating burns occur.

なお、本発明による錫めっき材の実施の形態は、最表面の構造に特徴があり、下地に影響されないので、下地めっきは、素材や用途に応じてSn、Cu、Niなどの様々な下地めっきから選択することができる。また、下地めっきとしてSnめっきを施すと、最表面の炭素粒子の凝集構造を変化させることなく、膜厚を厚くして耐摩耗性を向上させることができる。   In addition, since the embodiment of the tin plating material according to the present invention is characterized by the structure of the outermost surface and is not affected by the base, the base plating may be various base platings such as Sn, Cu, and Ni depending on the material and application. You can choose from. Further, when Sn plating is performed as the base plating, the wear resistance can be improved by increasing the film thickness without changing the aggregate structure of the carbon particles on the outermost surface.

上述した本発明による錫めっき材の製造方法の実施の形態により、適度に凝集した炭素粒子が錫層中に適度に分散した複合材からなる皮膜を素材上に形成され、同種同士の摩擦係数が0.20〜0.24のリフロー処理を施した錫めっき材との間の摩擦係数が0.16以下、好ましくは0.13以下であり、表面粗さを表すパラメータである算平均粗さRaが0.1〜0.5μm、好ましくは0.13〜0.48μm、最大高さRyが8〜16μm、好ましくは8.9〜5.9μm、および十点平均粗さRz7〜12μm、好ましくは7.0〜11.3μmであり、光沢度が0.8以上、好ましくは0.83以上であり、皮膜の厚さが0.5〜3μm、好ましくは0.5〜1.0μmであり、皮膜中の炭素の含有量が0.1〜1.2重量%、好ましくは0.5〜1.14重量%の錫めっき材を製造することができる。なお、この皮膜が最外層に形成されているのが好ましい。 According to the embodiment of the method for producing a tin-plated material according to the present invention described above, a film made of a composite material in which appropriately aggregated carbon particles are appropriately dispersed in a tin layer is formed on the material, and the friction coefficient between the same types the coefficient of friction between the tin-plated product treated by the reflow treatment of 0.20 to 0.24 are 0.16 or less, preferably 0.13 or less, arithmetic average roughness is a parameter representing the surface roughness Ra is 0.1 to 0.5 μm, preferably 0.13 to 0.48 μm, maximum height Ry is 8 to 16 μm, preferably 8.9 to 5.9 μm, and ten-point average roughness Rz 7 to 12 μm, preferably Is 7.0 to 11.3 μm, the glossiness is 0.8 or more, preferably 0.83 or more, and the film thickness is 0.5 to 3 μm, preferably 0.5 to 1.0 μm. The carbon content in the film is preferably 0.1 to 1.2% by weight. Alternatively, a tin plating material of 0.5 to 1.14% by weight can be manufactured. In addition, it is preferable that this film is formed in the outermost layer.

複合めっき材の複合めっき皮膜は、金属マトリックスと固体粒子とからなり、固体粒子の凝集状態や金属マトリックス中の固体粒子の分散状態によって表面粗さが大きく変化し、それによって複合めっき皮膜の特性が大きく変化すると考えられる。この複合めっき皮膜の表面粗さを適切な状態にすることにより、複合めっき材をインデント加工して端子として使用する場合に、凝集した固体粒子における相手方の端子との点接触および固体粒子の適度な分散による接触面の面積の減少により、摩擦係数が減少すると考えられる。   The composite plating film of the composite plating material consists of a metal matrix and solid particles, and the surface roughness varies greatly depending on the aggregation state of the solid particles and the dispersion state of the solid particles in the metal matrix. It is thought that it will change greatly. By setting the surface roughness of this composite plating film to an appropriate state, when the composite plating material is indented and used as a terminal, the agglomerated solid particles are brought into point contact with the other terminal and the solid particles are moderately It is considered that the friction coefficient decreases due to a decrease in the area of the contact surface due to dispersion.

また、固体粒子の適切な添加量は、複合めっき皮膜および固体粒子の種類により異なると考えられる。錫と炭素粒子の複合めっき材では、錫めっき液中に添加される炭素粒子の量が20g/Lよりも多いと、複合化される炭素粒子が大きな凝集粒子になり、特に錫めっき材をインデント加工した場合には、大きな凹凸が形成され、炭素粒子の接触点における圧力が増大する。そのため、相手方の端子が錫めっき材からなる場合、相手方の端子の錫めっき材を強く押圧して、摩擦係数が悪化すると考えられる。また、表面粗さが上記の範囲よりも粗い場合にも、特にインデント加工された場合には、大きな凹凸が形成され、炭素粒子の接触点における圧力が増加し、そのため、相手方の端子錫めっき材からなる場合、相手方の端子の錫めっき材を強く押圧して、摩擦係数が悪化するものと考えられる。   Moreover, it is thought that the appropriate addition amount of a solid particle changes with the composite plating film and the kind of solid particle. In the composite plating material of tin and carbon particles, if the amount of carbon particles added to the tin plating solution is more than 20 g / L, the composited carbon particles become large aggregate particles, and in particular the tin plating material is indented. When processed, large irregularities are formed, and the pressure at the contact point of the carbon particles increases. Therefore, when the counterpart terminal is made of a tin plating material, it is considered that the friction coefficient is deteriorated by strongly pressing the tin plating material of the counterpart terminal. In addition, even when the surface roughness is rougher than the above range, particularly when indented, large irregularities are formed, and the pressure at the contact point of the carbon particles increases. It is considered that the friction coefficient deteriorates by strongly pressing the tin plating material of the counterpart terminal.

なお、めっき皮膜の厚さが0.5μm未満では、錫の酸化などによって接触抵抗の経時変化が大きくなり、接続端子の重要な機能である接続信頼性に欠ける。一方、めっき皮膜の厚さが3μmを超えると、炭素粒子の複合化が進み、上述したような炭素粒子が分散した状態を維持することができなくなる。   When the thickness of the plating film is less than 0.5 μm, the change in contact resistance with time is increased due to oxidation of tin or the like, and connection reliability, which is an important function of the connection terminal, is lacking. On the other hand, when the thickness of the plating film exceeds 3 μm, the composite of the carbon particles proceeds, and the state in which the carbon particles are dispersed as described above cannot be maintained.

以下、本発明による錫めっき材およびその製造方法の実施例について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, examples of the tin plating material and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention will be described in detail.

[実施例1]
まず、錫めっき液として、60g/Lの金属錫(金属錫塩としてアルカノールスルホン酸錫(ユケン工業製のメタスSM)600mL/Lを含む)と113g/Lの遊離酸(遊離酸としてアルカノールスルホン酸(ユケン工業製のメタスAM)130mL/Lを含む)とを含む錫めっき液を用意した。この錫めっき液に、良好な錫めっき皮膜を得るために錫めっき用の界面活性剤(ユケン工業製のメタスLSA−M)20mL/Lを添加し、平均粒径3.4μmの鱗片状グラファイト粒子(エスイーシー社製のグラファイトSGP−3)5g/Lを添加して分散させるとともに、グラファイト粒子の凝集状態を制御するために芳香族カルボニル化合物としてベンズアルデヒド30mL/Lを添加した。なお、グラファイト粒子の平均粒径は、グラファイト粒子0.5gを0.2重量%のヘキサメタリン酸ナトリウム溶液50gに分散させ、さらに超音波により分散させた後、レーザー光散乱粒度分布測定装置を用いて測定し、累積分布で50%の粒径を平均粒径とすることにより求めた。
[Example 1]
First, as a tin plating solution, 60 g / L of metallic tin (including 600 mL / L of tin alkanol sulfonate (Metas SM manufactured by Yuken Industry) as a metal tin salt) and 113 g / L of free acid (alkanol sulfonic acid as a free acid) (Including YUKEN INDUSTRY METASU AM) 130 mL / L) was prepared. In order to obtain a good tin plating film, 20 mL / L of a tin plating surfactant (Metas LSA-M manufactured by Yuken Industry) was added to this tin plating solution, and flaky graphite particles having an average particle size of 3.4 μm. (Graphic SGP-3 manufactured by ESC) 5 g / L was added and dispersed, and benzaldehyde 30 mL / L was added as an aromatic carbonyl compound in order to control the aggregation state of the graphite particles. The average particle size of the graphite particles was determined by dispersing 0.5 g of graphite particles in 50 g of a 0.2 wt% sodium hexametaphosphate solution and further dispersing with ultrasonic waves, and then using a laser light scattering particle size distribution measuring device. It was determined by measuring and taking 50% of the cumulative distribution as the average particle size.

上記の錫めっき浴中に、厚さ0.25mmのCu−Ni−Sn合金材(同和鉱業製のNB−109EH)からなる素材を入れ、陽極として錫板を使用して、液温25℃、電流密度10A/dmでスターラーにより300rpmで攪拌しながら電気めっきを行い、膜厚1μmの錫とグラファイト粒子の複合めっき皮膜が形成された錫めっき材を作製した。なお、複合めっき皮膜の膜厚は、蛍光X線膜厚測定法により4点の平均値から算出した。 In the above tin plating bath, a material made of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy material (NB-109EH manufactured by Dowa Mining Co., Ltd.) having a thickness of 0.25 mm was put, and a tin plate was used as an anode, and the liquid temperature was 25 ° C, Electroplating was performed while stirring at 300 rpm with a stirrer at a current density of 10 A / dm 2 to prepare a tin-plated material on which a composite plating film of tin and graphite particles having a thickness of 1 μm was formed. In addition, the film thickness of the composite plating film was calculated from the average value of 4 points by the fluorescent X-ray film thickness measurement method.

得られた錫めっき材を超音波洗浄して表面に付着したグラファイト粒子を除去した後、錫めっき材の複合めっき皮膜中の炭素の含有量を算出し、錫めっき材の摩擦係数を算出し、光沢度および表面粗さを測定した。   After removing the graphite particles adhering to the surface by ultrasonically cleaning the obtained tin plating material, calculating the carbon content in the composite plating film of the tin plating material, calculating the friction coefficient of the tin plating material, Glossiness and surface roughness were measured.

錫めっき皮膜中の炭素含有量は、得られた錫めっき材(素材を含む)から切り出した試験片を錫および炭素の分析用にそれぞれ用意し、試験片中の錫の含有量(X重量%)をICP装置(ジャーレルアッシュ社製のIRIS/AR)を用いてプラズマ分光分析法によって求めるとともに、試験片中の炭素の含有量(Y重量%)を微量炭素・硫黄分析装置(堀場製作所製のEMIA−U510)を用いて燃焼赤外線吸収法によって求め、Y/(X+Y)として算出した。その結果、本実施例では、炭素含有量が1.13重量%であった。   The carbon content in the tin plating film was prepared by preparing test pieces cut out from the obtained tin-plated material (including raw materials) for analysis of tin and carbon, respectively. ) Is obtained by plasma spectroscopic analysis using an ICP apparatus (IRIS / AR manufactured by Jarrel Ash), and the carbon content (Y wt%) in the test piece is determined by a trace carbon / sulfur analyzer (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.
