Materials for built-in or attached components are required to have excellent thermal conductivity and strength for rapid heat dissipation.

また、電気自動車、ハイブリッド自動車に代表される電気を動力源とした各種電導輸送機器(EV、HV、PHV、FCV、その他電気機関車等)には、電池群、インバータ、モータ等の各種の電気機器が搭載され、これらを電気的に接続するバスバーと呼ばれる電気接続部品が使用されており、優れた導電性、振動に対する強度、発熱に対する熱拡散性(熱伝導性)が求められる。 In addition, various types of conductive transportation equipment (EV, HV, PHV, FCV, other electric locomotives, etc.) powered by electricity, such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, are equipped with various electric power sources such as batteries, inverters, and motors. Devices are mounted and electrical connection parts called busbars are used to electrically connect these devices, and are required to have excellent electrical conductivity, strength against vibration, and heat dissipation (thermal conductivity) against heat generation.

更に、半導体素子、特に電力用半導体(パワーデバイス)や、液晶ディスプレイのバックライト、各種照明器具、自動車のヘッドランプやリアランプ等の光源として用いられる発光ダイオード(LED)の実装に用いられるリードフレームには、優れた導電性、素子を支持する強度、発熱に対する熱拡散性(熱伝導性)が求められる。 Furthermore, it is used in lead frames used for mounting semiconductor elements, especially power semiconductors (power devices), and light emitting diodes (LEDs) used as light sources for backlights of liquid crystal displays, various lighting equipment, and automobile headlamps and rear lamps. This requires excellent electrical conductivity, strength to support the device, and thermal diffusivity against heat generation (thermal conductivity).

JIS1100、1050、1070等の純アルミニウム合金は熱伝導性及び導電性に優れるが、強度が低い。高強度材として用いられるJIS5052等のAl-Mg合金(5000系合金)は、純アルミニウム系合金よりも熱伝導性および導電性が著しく劣る。 Pure aluminum alloys such as JIS1100, 1050, and 1070 have excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, but have low strength. Al-Mg alloys (5000 series alloys) such as JIS 5052 used as high-strength materials are significantly inferior in thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity to pure aluminum alloys.

これに対しAl-Mg-Si系合金(6000系合金)は、熱伝導性および導電性が良く時効硬化により強度向上を図ることができるため、Al-Mg―Si系合金を用いて強度、熱伝導性、加工性に優れたアルミニウム合金板を得る方法が検討されている。 On the other hand, Al-Mg-Si alloys (6000 series alloys) have good thermal and electrical conductivity and can be improved in strength through age hardening. A method of obtaining an aluminum alloy plate with excellent conductivity and workability is being studied.

しかしながら、特許文献1では、工程条件の検討が不十分である。また、特許文献1において、引張強さはSiまたはCuの寄与により改善がなされたものであり、Alの次に多い元素は、SiもしくはCuであり、Mgの含有量が比較的少なく、SiおよびMgをほぼ同じ割合で含有する合金は特許文献1の請求範囲に含まれない。 However, in Patent Document 1, consideration of process conditions is insufficient. Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, the tensile strength was improved due to the contribution of Si or Cu, and the next most abundant element after Al is Si or Cu, the content of Mg is relatively small, and Si and Cu are the most common elements. Alloys containing Mg in approximately the same proportion are not included in the scope of patent document 1.

特許文献2では、比較的高い強度が得られているものの実施例に記載の導電率は54%IACS未満と低い。 Although relatively high strength is obtained in Patent Document 2, the conductivity described in the examples is as low as less than 54% IACS.

特許文献3において、実施例の記載例では引張強度が280MPa以上の材料における導電率は50%IACS未満と低い。 In Patent Document 3, in the example described in Examples, the electrical conductivity of a material having a tensile strength of 280 MPa or more is as low as less than 50% IACS.

特許文献4においても、実施例の記載例では導電率は55%IACS以上と高いものの引張強度が250MPa以上の材料は得られていない。 Also in Patent Document 4, in the examples described in Examples, although the electrical conductivity is as high as 55% IACS or more, a material with a tensile strength of 250 MPa or more is not obtained.

上記のように、高い導電率及び熱伝導性と引張強さの双方の特性を備えるアルミニウム合金板を得ることは非常に困難である。 As mentioned above, it is very difficult to obtain an aluminum alloy plate with both high electrical and thermal conductivity and tensile strength properties.

(Mg、Si含有量)
MgおよびSiは強度の発現に必要な元素であり、それぞれの含有量はSi:0.45~0.85質量%、Mg:0.75~1.0質量%とする。Si含有量が0.45質量%未満あるいはMg含有量が0.75質量%未満では十分な強度を得ることができない。一方、Si含有量が0.85質量%、Mg含有量が1.0質量%を超えると、熱間圧延での圧延負荷が高くなって生産性が低下し、得られるアルミニウム板の成形加工性も悪くなる。Si含有量は0.55質量%以上0.8質量%以下であることが好ましく、更に0.65質量%以上0.75質量%以下であることが好ましい。Mg含有量は0.8質量%以上0.95質量%以下であることが好ましく、更に0.82質量%以上0.92質量%以下であることが好ましい。
(Si/Mg含有比)
本願ではMgとSiの含有比を規定している。高い導電率を確保するためには、アルミニウム中に固溶するMgをMgSiの形で析出させる必要があり、そのために有効なSi含有量が存在する。一方、Siも固溶量が多くなると導電率低下の要因となる。従って、析出による強度向上との両立のため、Si/Mg含有比を0.5≦CSi/CMg≦1.1(但し、CSiはSi含有量、CMgはMg含有量)とする。
(Cu含有量)
Cuは強度向上に必要な成分であり、少量の含有でMgSiの微細析出を促進する効果があるが、多量に含有すると耐食性が低下する。また0.35質量%を超えると導電率の確保が難しい。一方で、0.10質量%未満では強度の確保が難しい。従ってCu含有量の範囲は0.10~0.35質量%とする。更に0.12質量%以上0.25質量%以下であることが好ましく、特に0.15質量%以上0.20質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。

(Mn含有量)
Mnは再結晶粒の微細化のために一般的に添加される合金元素であるが、必要以上に添加すると導電率の低下を招くと共に、焼入れ感受性が高くなるため、熱間圧延時の冷却が緩慢であるとその後の熱処理での強度向上が見込めなくなる。従って、Mnの含有量は0.15質量%以下であることが好ましい。更に0.002質量%以上0.08質量%以下が好ましく、特に0.004質量%以上0.06質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。
(Zn含有量)
Znは少量の含有でMgSiの析出を促進する効果が認められるが、含有量が多くなると合金材の耐食性を低下させるためできるだけ少ないことが好ましい。従ってZnの含有量は0.12質量%以下とする。更に0.002質量%以上0.08質量%以下であることが好ましく、特に0.004質量%以上0.06質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。
(Ti、B含有量)
TiおよびBは、合金をスラブに鋳造する際に結晶粒を微細化するとともに凝固割れを防止する効果がある。前記効果はTiまたはBの少なくとも1種の添加により得られ、両方を添加してもよい。しかしながら、多量に含有すると、晶出物がサイズの大きい晶出物が多く生成するため、製品の加工性や熱伝導性および導電率が低下する。従って、Ti含有量は0.002~0.15質量%以下とする。更に0.01質量%以上0.08質量%以下が好ましく、特に0.02質量%以上0.06質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。また、B含有量は0.0005~0.05質量%以下とする。更に0.001質量%以上0.04質量%以下が好ましく、特に0.0015質量%以上0.03質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。

In the composition of the rolled aluminum alloy material, the purpose of adding each element and the reason for limiting the content are as follows.
(Mg, Si content)
Mg and Si are elements necessary for developing strength, and their respective contents are Si: 0.45 to 0.85% by mass, and Mg: 0.75 to 1.0% by mass. If the Si content is less than 0.45% by mass or the Mg content is less than 0.75% by mass, sufficient strength cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the Si content exceeds 0.85% by mass and the Mg content exceeds 1.0% by mass, the rolling load during hot rolling increases, productivity decreases, and the forming processability of the resulting aluminum plate increases. It also gets worse. The Si content is preferably 0.55% by mass or more and 0.8% by mass or less, and more preferably 0.65% by mass or more and 0.75% by mass or less. The Mg content is preferably 0.8% by mass or more and 0.95% by mass or less, and more preferably 0.82% by mass or more and 0.92% by mass or less.
(Si/Mg content ratio)
In this application, the content ratio of Mg and Si is specified. In order to ensure high electrical conductivity, it is necessary to precipitate Mg dissolved in aluminum in the form of Mg 2 Si, and for this purpose an effective Si content exists. On the other hand, when the amount of solid solution increases, Si also becomes a cause of a decrease in electrical conductivity. Therefore, in order to achieve both strength improvement through precipitation, the Si/Mg content ratio is set to 0.5≦C Si /C Mg ≦1.1 (however, C Si is Si content, and C Mg is Mg content). .
(Cu content)
Cu is a necessary component for improving strength, and when contained in a small amount, it has the effect of promoting fine precipitation of Mg 2 Si, but when contained in a large amount, corrosion resistance decreases. Moreover, if it exceeds 0.35% by mass, it is difficult to ensure electrical conductivity. On the other hand, if it is less than 0.10% by mass, it is difficult to ensure strength. Therefore, the Cu content range is 0.10 to 0.35% by mass. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.12% by mass or more and 0.25% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.15% by mass or more and 0.20% by mass or less.
(Fe content)
Fe is a component that can be expected to have the effect of refining crystal grains and is effective in improving strength, but if it is contained in a large amount, corrosion resistance decreases. If it exceeds 0.45% by mass, it becomes a factor that inhibits corrosion resistance. On the other hand, if it is less than 0.05% by mass, no improvement in strength can be expected, and the base purity of the aluminum ingot increases, making it expensive. Therefore, the Fe content range is 0.05 to 0.45% by mass. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.08% by mass or more and 0.35% by mass or less.
(Ni content)
Ni is an effective component for improving strength, and when contained in a small amount it has the effect of promoting the precipitation of Mg 2 Si, but when contained in a large amount, the electrical conductivity decreases. If it exceeds 0.20% by mass, it is difficult to ensure electrical conductivity. On the other hand, if it is less than 0.002% by mass, it is difficult to ensure strength. Therefore, the Ni content range is 0.002 to 0.20% by mass. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.002% by mass or more and 0.18% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.004% by mass or more and 0.15% by mass or less.
(Cr content)
Cr is an alloying element effective in preventing coarsening of recrystallized grains. However, if it exceeds 0.15%, the conductivity will decrease. In addition, the quenching sensitivity increases, and if cooling during hot rolling is slow, no improvement in strength can be expected in the subsequent heat treatment. On the other hand, if it is less than 0.02%, no effect of reducing the crystal grain size can be expected. Therefore, the range of Cr content is 0.02 to 0.15% by mass. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.03% by mass or more and 0.12% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.04% by mass or more and 0.10% by mass or less.
(Mn content)
Mn is an alloying element that is generally added to refine the recrystallized grains, but adding more than necessary leads to a decrease in electrical conductivity and increases quenching sensitivity, making it difficult to cool during hot rolling. If the heat treatment is slow, no improvement in strength can be expected in the subsequent heat treatment. Therefore, the Mn content is preferably 0.15% by mass or less. Furthermore, the content is preferably 0.002% by mass or more and 0.08% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.004% by mass or more and 0.06% by mass or less.
(Zn content)
A small amount of Zn is recognized to have the effect of promoting the precipitation of Mg 2 Si, but if the Zn content increases, the corrosion resistance of the alloy material decreases, so it is preferably as small as possible. Therefore, the Zn content is set to 0.12% by mass or less. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.002% by mass or more and 0.08% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.004% by mass or more and 0.06% by mass or less.
(Ti, B content)
Ti and B have the effect of refining crystal grains and preventing solidification cracking when casting the alloy into a slab. The above effect can be obtained by adding at least one of Ti or B, and both may be added. However, if it is contained in a large amount, many large-sized crystallized substances are produced, resulting in a decrease in processability, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity of the product. Therefore, the Ti content is set to 0.002 to 0.15% by mass or less. Furthermore, the content is preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 0.08% by mass or less, particularly preferably 0.02% by mass or more and 0.06% by mass or less. Further, the B content is 0.0005 to 0.05% by mass or less. Furthermore, the content is preferably 0.001% by mass or more and 0.04% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.0015% by mass or more and 0.03% by mass or less.
(In content)
Since In significantly reduces corrosion resistance, it is preferable that the content is small. The content of In as an impurity is preferably 0.004% by mass or less.
(Ca content)
Ca tends to segregate at grain boundaries, and as the Ca content increases, the ductility decreases, so it is preferable that the Ca content be small. The Ca content as an impurity is preferably 0.01% by mass or less.
(Other impurity elements)
Other impurity elements other than those listed above include, but are not limited to, V, Ga, Zr, Pb, Bi, Sn, etc. These other impurity elements are determined by the content of each individual element. It is preferably 0.05% by mass or less.

次に、本願規定のアルミニウム合金圧延材を得るための処理工程について記述する。
常法にて溶解成分調整し、アルミニウム合金鋳塊を得る。得られた合金鋳塊に熱間圧延前加熱より前の工程として均質化処理を施すことが好ましい。均質化処理は、500℃以上で行うことが好ましい。
Next, the processing steps for obtaining the aluminum alloy rolled material specified in the present application will be described.
The dissolved components are adjusted in a conventional manner to obtain an aluminum alloy ingot. It is preferable to subject the obtained alloy ingot to homogenization treatment as a step prior to heating before hot rolling. The homogenization treatment is preferably performed at 500°C or higher.

前記均質化処理はアルミニウム合金鋳塊中に晶出物およびMg、Siを固溶させ均一な組織とするために実施するが、温度が高すぎると共晶融解が生じるため、500℃以上570℃以下で行うことが好ましく、特に520℃以上560℃以下で行うことが好ましい。時間は1時間以上20時間以下で行うことが好ましく、特に2時間以上18時間以下で行うことが好ましい。 The above-mentioned homogenization treatment is carried out to form a uniform structure by dissolving the crystallized substances, Mg, and Si in the aluminum alloy ingot, but if the temperature is too high, eutectic melting will occur, so the temperature should be 500°C or higher and 570°C. It is preferably carried out at a temperature of 520°C or higher and 560°C or lower. The time is preferably 1 hour or more and 20 hours or less, particularly 2 hours or more and 18 hours or less.

アルミニウム合金鋳塊に均質化処理を行った後、一端冷却した後、あるいは冷却することなく引き続いて熱間圧延前加熱を行う。熱間圧延前加熱の好ましい温度範囲は480℃以上550℃以下である。時間は5分以上10時間以下が好ましい。更に好ましい範囲は、温度500℃以上540℃以下、時間1時間以上8時間以下である。なお、前記均質化処理および熱間圧延前加熱双方の好ましい温度範囲にて均質化処理と熱間圧延前加熱を兼ねて同じ温度で加熱しても良い。 After homogenizing the aluminum alloy ingot, it is cooled once or subsequently heated before hot rolling without cooling. The preferred temperature range for heating before hot rolling is 480°C or higher and 550°C or lower. The time is preferably 5 minutes or more and 10 hours or less. A more preferable range is a temperature of 500° C. or more and 540° C. or less, and a time of 1 hour or more and 8 hours or less. In addition, within the preferable temperature range for both the homogenization treatment and the heating before hot rolling, heating may be performed at the same temperature for both the homogenization treatment and the heating before hot rolling.

鋳造後熱間圧延前加熱前に鋳塊の表面近傍の不純物層を除去する為に鋳塊に面削を施すことが好ましい。面削は鋳造後均質化処理前であっても良いし、均質化処理後熱間圧延前加熱前であってもよい。 After casting and before heating before hot rolling, the ingot is preferably subjected to surface cutting in order to remove an impurity layer near the surface of the ingot. The facing may be performed after casting and before homogenization treatment, or after homogenization treatment and before hot rolling and before heating.

熱間圧延前加熱後のアルミニウム合金鋳塊に熱間圧延を施す。熱間圧延は圧下率95%以上99.5%以下とするのが良い。熱間圧延は粗熱間圧延と仕上げ熱間圧延からなり、粗熱間圧延機を用い複数のパスからなる粗熱間圧延を行った後、粗熱間圧延機とは異なる仕上げ熱間圧延機を用いて仕上げ熱間圧延を行う。なお、本願において、粗熱間圧延機での最終パスを熱間圧延の最終パスとする場合は、仕上げ熱間圧延を省略することができる。 Hot rolling is performed on the aluminum alloy ingot after heating before hot rolling. The hot rolling is preferably carried out at a reduction rate of 95% or more and 99.5% or less. Hot rolling consists of rough hot rolling and finishing hot rolling, and after performing rough hot rolling consisting of multiple passes using a roughing hot rolling mill, a finishing hot rolling machine different from the roughing hot rolling mill is used. Finish hot rolling is performed using Note that in the present application, when the final pass in the rough hot rolling mill is the final pass of hot rolling, finishing hot rolling can be omitted.

冷間圧延をコイルで実施する場合には、仕上げ熱間圧延後のアルミニウム合金圧延材を巻き取り装置で巻き取って熱延コイルとすればよい。仕上げ熱間圧延を省略し、粗熱間圧延の最終パスを熱間圧延の最終パスとする場合は、粗熱間圧延の後、アルミニウム合金圧延材を巻き取り装置にて巻き取って熱延コイルとしてもよい。 When cold rolling is performed in a coil, the aluminum alloy rolled material after finish hot rolling may be wound up with a winding device to form a hot rolled coil. When finishing hot rolling is omitted and the final pass of rough hot rolling is used as the final pass of hot rolling, after rough hot rolling, the aluminum alloy rolled material is wound up with a winding device to form a hot rolled coil. You can also use it as

粗熱間圧延では、溶体化処理に準じてMgおよびSiが固溶された状態を保持した後、粗熱間圧延のパスによるアルミニウム合金圧延材の冷却、もしくは粗熱間圧延のパス後とパス後の冷却による温度降下により焼き入れの効果を得ることができる。 In rough hot rolling, after maintaining Mg and Si in a solid solution state according to solution treatment, the aluminum alloy rolled material is cooled by a rough hot rolling pass, or after the rough hot rolling pass and after the rough hot rolling pass. The effect of hardening can be obtained by lowering the temperature due to subsequent cooling.

上記粗熱間圧延のパス間の冷却は、アルミニウム合金圧延材を圧延しながら圧延後の部位に対し順次実施してもよいし、アルミニウム合金圧延材全体を圧延した後実施してもよい。冷却の方法は限定されないが、水冷であっても空冷であってもよいし、クーラントを利用してもよい。 The cooling between the passes of the rough hot rolling may be carried out sequentially on the rolled parts while rolling the aluminum alloy rolled material, or may be carried out after the entire aluminum alloy rolled material is rolled. The cooling method is not limited, but may be water cooling, air cooling, or a coolant.

本願において、粗熱間圧延の最終パス後に仕上げ圧延を行わない場合は、熱間圧延の最終パス直後のアルミニウム合金圧延材の表面温度を熱間圧延上り温度(熱延上り温度ともいう)とし、粗熱間圧延の最終パス後に仕上げ圧延を行う場合は、仕上げ圧延直前のアルミニウム合金圧延材の表面温度を熱延上り温度とする。 In the present application, if finish rolling is not performed after the final pass of rough hot rolling, the surface temperature of the aluminum alloy rolled material immediately after the final pass of hot rolling is defined as hot rolling finishing temperature (also referred to as hot rolling finishing temperature), When finish rolling is performed after the final pass of rough hot rolling, the surface temperature of the rolled aluminum alloy material immediately before finish rolling is defined as the hot rolling temperature.

上記熱延上り温度は280℃以下とすることが好ましい。熱延上り温度を280℃以下とすることにより有効な焼き入れ効果が得られ、その後の熱処理時により時効硬化するとともに導電率が向上する。熱延上り温度が高すぎると、焼き入れの効果が不足し、熱間圧延終了後冷間圧延終了前に熱処理を実施しても強度の向上が不十分となる。熱延上り温度は260℃以下が更に好ましく、特に250℃以下が好ましい。 It is preferable that the above-mentioned hot rolling finishing temperature is 280°C or less. By setting the hot-rolling temperature to 280° C. or less, an effective hardening effect can be obtained, and during subsequent heat treatment, age hardening occurs and the electrical conductivity improves. If the finishing temperature of hot rolling is too high, the hardening effect will be insufficient, and even if heat treatment is performed after hot rolling and before cold rolling, the strength will not be sufficiently improved. The hot rolling temperature is more preferably 260°C or lower, particularly preferably 250°C or lower.

なお、後工程の冷間圧延をコイルで実施するために熱間圧延後にコイル巻き取りを実施する際、巻き取り後の自然冷却速度が極めて遅くなる場合がある。その時、高温で長時間保持されると粗大な析出物が発生し過時効となるため、後述する熱処理による時効硬化が見込めなくなる。 Note that when coil winding is performed after hot rolling in order to perform post-process cold rolling in a coil, the natural cooling rate after winding may become extremely slow. At that time, if the material is kept at a high temperature for a long time, coarse precipitates are generated and overage occurs, so that age hardening due to the heat treatment described below cannot be expected.

従って、コイル状に巻き取る場合で仕上げ熱間圧延を行わない場合は、粗熱間圧延最終パス上りのアルミニウム合金板の表面温度は180℃以下が好ましい。粗熱間圧延の後仕上げ熱間圧延を行う場合は、仕上げ熱間圧延後のアルミニウム合金板の表面温度は180℃以下であることが好ましい。 Therefore, when winding into a coil and not performing finish hot rolling, the surface temperature of the aluminum alloy plate after the final pass of rough hot rolling is preferably 180° C. or lower. When finishing hot rolling is performed after rough hot rolling, the surface temperature of the aluminum alloy plate after finishing hot rolling is preferably 180° C. or lower.

熱間圧延終了後、冷間圧延前後またはそのパス間においてアルミニウム合金圧延材に熱処理を施し、時効硬化させるとともに導電率を向上させることができる。本願においてアルミニウム合金圧延材への熱処理は時効硬化および導電率向上の効果を得るために120℃以上220℃以下の温度で実施することが好ましい。前記熱処理の温度は130℃以上190℃以下が更に好ましく、特に140℃以上180℃以下が一層好ましい。 After completion of hot rolling, the aluminum alloy rolled material can be heat treated before and after cold rolling or between passes to age harden and improve electrical conductivity. In the present application, the heat treatment of the aluminum alloy rolled material is preferably carried out at a temperature of 120° C. or higher and 220° C. or lower in order to obtain the effects of age hardening and improving electrical conductivity. The temperature of the heat treatment is more preferably 130°C or more and 190°C or less, particularly preferably 140°C or more and 180°C or less.

前記熱間圧延終了後、冷間圧延前後またはそのパス間において実施するアルミニウム合金圧延材の熱処理の時間は、10分以上12時間以下が好ましい。更に1時間以上10時間以下が好ましく、特に2時間以上8時間以下が一層好ましい。 After the completion of the hot rolling, the heat treatment time of the rolled aluminum alloy material before and after the cold rolling or between passes thereof is preferably 10 minutes or more and 12 hours or less. Furthermore, the time period is preferably 1 hour or more and 10 hours or less, and particularly preferably 2 hours or more and 8 hours or less.

前記熱処理後の冷間圧延により所定の厚さのアルミニウム合金圧延材とする。冷間圧延を実施することにより一般に加工硬化にて強度は向上する。熱間圧延終了後、前記熱処理により時効硬化させたアルミニウム合金圧延材に冷間圧延を実施すると加工硬化による強度向上効果が期待できる。冷間圧延後に前記熱処理を実施すると予備歪により時効硬化能を更に向上させることが出来る。冷間圧延終了後に前記熱処理を実施すると冷間加工歪の回復と時効析出が同時に起こるため、大きな強度向上は期待できないが、延性が大幅に向上し、曲げ加工等の成形性を向上させることができる。 After the heat treatment, a rolled aluminum alloy material having a predetermined thickness is obtained by cold rolling. Cold rolling generally improves strength through work hardening. After hot rolling, if the aluminum alloy rolled material age-hardened by the heat treatment is cold-rolled, an effect of improving strength due to work hardening can be expected. When the heat treatment is performed after cold rolling, the age hardenability can be further improved due to pre-straining. If the above heat treatment is performed after cold rolling, recovery of cold work strain and aging precipitation will occur at the same time, so a large increase in strength cannot be expected, but ductility can be significantly improved and formability such as bending can be improved. can.

このように要求される特性により前記熱処理の位置は、熱間圧延終了後、冷間圧延前後またはそのパス間で使い分けることが望ましい。 Due to the characteristics required in this way, it is desirable that the heat treatment is performed at different positions after the end of hot rolling, before and after cold rolling, or between passes thereof.

熱間圧延終了後、所定の厚さのアルミニウム合金圧延材を得るまでの冷間圧延の総圧下率は強度向上の為30%以上で実施されることが好ましい。冷間圧延によるアルミニウム合金圧延材の総圧延率は更に40%以上が好ましく、特に50%以上が好ましい。総圧下率の上限は、加工硬化による伸びの低下を考慮し、98.5%以下とする。 After the hot rolling is completed, the total reduction rate of cold rolling is preferably 30% or more to obtain a rolled aluminum alloy material of a predetermined thickness in order to improve strength. The total rolling rate of the aluminum alloy rolled material by cold rolling is preferably 40% or more, particularly preferably 50% or more. The upper limit of the total rolling reduction is set to 98.5% or less, taking into account the reduction in elongation due to work hardening.

冷間圧延後のアルミニウム合金圧延材に必要に応じて洗浄を実施しても良い。 The aluminum alloy rolled material after cold rolling may be washed if necessary.

なお、本願のアルミニウム合金圧延材の製造はコイルで行ってもよく、単板で行ってもよい。また、冷間圧延より後の任意の工程でアルミニウム合金圧延材を切断し切断後の工程を単板で行ってもよいし、用途に応じスリットして条にしても良い。 Note that the aluminum alloy rolled material of the present application may be manufactured using a coil or a single plate. Further, the rolled aluminum alloy material may be cut at any step after cold rolling, and the step after cutting may be performed as a single sheet, or it may be slit into strips depending on the purpose.

上記の製造方法によれば、高い導電率を得つつ、強度を向上させることができ、優れたアルミニウム合金圧延材が得られる。 According to the above manufacturing method, strength can be improved while obtaining high electrical conductivity, and an excellent aluminum alloy rolled material can be obtained.

本願のアルミニウム合金圧延材の導電率は50%IACS以上、引張強さは305MPa以上と規定する。更に導電率は52%IACS以上、引張強さは315MPa以上が好ましく、特に導電率は54%IACS以上、引張強さは330MPa以上が一層好ましい。本願規定の導電率と引張強さを満足することにより優れた強度と熱伝導性を有するアルミニウム合金圧延材となる。 The electrical conductivity of the aluminum alloy rolled material of the present application is specified to be 50% IACS or more, and the tensile strength is specified to be 305 MPa or more. Further, the electrical conductivity is preferably 52% IACS or more and the tensile strength is 315 MPa or more, and particularly preferably the electrical conductivity is 54% IACS or more and the tensile strength is 330 MPa or more. By satisfying the electrical conductivity and tensile strength specified in this application, the aluminum alloy rolled material has excellent strength and thermal conductivity.
