Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the title stainless steel spring material having excellent spring characteristic, luster, and rustproofing property by applying specified heat treatment to a cold-rolled band stainless steel, and anodizing the steel in an aq. soln. having a specified content of nitric acid or phosphoric acid under specified conditions. CONSTITUTION:A tension at <=0.2% bearing force is imparted to a cold-rolled band stainless steel, and the steel is heat-treated at 350-700 deg.C in a nonoxidizing atmosphere having <=-35 deg.C dew point. As a result, the spring critical value of the steel is improved, and an increase in the thickness of an oxide film on the surface is prevented. The steel is then anodized in an aq. soln. contg. 7.0-30.0wt.% of one or two kinds between nonreducing nitric acid and phosphoric acid at 0.05-5.0A/dm<2> current density and at the total quantity of electrolytic electricity of 10-500C/dm<2>. By this method, the oxide film generated by the heat treatment is removed, and a thin uniform oxide film is formed. A stainless steel spring material having excellent spring characteristic, surface luster, solderability, and rustproofing property is obtained in this way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing stainless steel spring materials used in various fields such as electronic equipment and precision machinery that require high spring characteristics.

In recent years, spring materials used in various fields such as keyboard switch springs, gimbal springs, and dome springs have become micronized and ultra-thin, requiring high spring characteristics as parts, as well as surface gloss and rust resistance. Sex is also required. For this reason, demand for stainless steel spring materials with excellent spring properties is increasing.

Conventionally, the spring characteristics of stainless steel have been improved by improving the composition of the steel from the perspective of increasing strength (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 6
-89553) and a method of increasing the reduction ratio in the final cold rolling (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-125614). However, with the former method, properties other than the steel's strength change significantly, and in particular, workability and surface texture tend to deteriorate.
Furthermore, the latter method significantly reduces elongation and impairs workability. Therefore, as a method for effectively improving the spring properties, a method of heat-treating after cold rolling while applying a tensile force below the yield point (Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-26219) is currently widely used.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the stainless steel spring material manufactured by this method has a problem in that the surface gloss, solderability, and rust resistance are significantly deteriorated by heat treatment. As a method to improve the solderability of stainless steel, a method is proposed in which the oxide film is removed by electrolyzing brightly annealed stainless steel strip with nitric acid (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55
~141596) are known. However, for stainless steel that has undergone bright heat treatment to improve spring properties,
These electrolytic treatment conditions cannot be said to be a sufficient method as they do not improve solderability or rust resistance.

First, the spring limit value is improved by heat-treating a cold-rolled stainless steel strip at 350°C to 700°C while applying a tension of 0.2% proof stress or less.

If the heat treatment temperature is less than 350°C, the effect of improving the spring limit value will not be obtained, and if it exceeds 700°C, chromium carbide will precipitate in the steel, which will deteriorate the rust resistance and at the same time weaken the strength of the steel. The springiness decreases due to the start of the process. Heat treatment is dew point -
It is carried out in a non-oxidizing atmosphere gas at 35°C or lower. This is because when the dew point is higher than 135°C, the oxidation degree film thickness increases, causing discoloration and deterioration of gloss, and the oxide film is not removed sufficiently by the electrolytic treatment described below.

Next, by electrolytically treating the stainless steel, it is necessary to remove the oxidation degree Jiff generated by the heat treatment and at the same time form a thin and uniform oxide film. The electrolyte for this purpose is one or two types of non-reducing aqueous solutions such as nitric acid and phosphoric acid.
An aqueous solution containing seeds is used. Although aqueous solutions of chromic acid, perchloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. are expected to have similar effects, aqueous solutions of nitric acid or phosphoric acid are most preferred from the viewpoint of cost and ease of handling. Regarding acid concentration: 7.0wt
If the concentration is less than 30.0 wt%, the effect as an acid will be small and the electrolytic removal of the oxide film will not be sufficient, and if the concentration exceeds 30.0 wt%, the oxidizing property of nitric acid will be too strong and the electrolytic removal of the oxide film will not be sufficient. In addition, in the case of phosphoric acid, the electrolytic effect becomes saturated. Electrolytic treatment is performed in such an aqueous solution using stainless steel as an anode. Current density is 0.05A/
dn? If it is less than 5 A/d rd, it will take a long time to carry out the necessary electrolytic removal, resulting in poor productivity, and if it exceeds 5 A/d rd, the oxide film will not be uniformly dissolved, leading to deterioration of the surface gloss and deterioration of the spring characteristics. This is inappropriate because it also occurs. If the total electrolysis amount is less than IOC/dn per unit area, the oxide film will not be sufficiently dissolved and solderability will not be improved.If the amount of electricity exceeds 500 C/dn, the solderability and rust resistance will deteriorate. Not only will the improvement effect be saturated, but the surface gloss will deteriorate because the amount of dissolution is too large. Therefore, the total amount of electrolytic electricity was set in the range of 10 to 500 C/drrr. Also, if the electrolytic solution temperature is low, electrolytic removal will occur. The temperature is preferably 15° C. or higher because the reaction decreases.

The heat treatment in the method of the present invention is carried out in
Since the bright annealing is performed at a much lower temperature than the bright annealing conditions in No. 6, the oxide film on the stainless steel mesh is hardly reduced even if H2 is present in the atmosphere. Therefore, if known electrolytic treatment is performed after heat treatment, it is difficult to improve solderability and rust resistance. According to the electrolytic conditions in the method of the present invention, both solderability and rust resistance can be easily improved without deteriorating the surface gloss.

5US304 and 5US430 were used as test materials.
After final cold rolling was performed at the rolling reduction ratio shown in Table 1, heat treatment and anodic electrolytic treatment were performed under each condition. As an evaluation of the characteristics, the spring characteristics are determined based on the spring limit value (JIS H313
0), and the solderability was evaluated by evaluating the solder wettability due to the surface tension between the solder and the test material using Resca's 5AT2000 solder checker, and ranked A, B, and C in descending order of wettability.
It was shown in three stages. However, the criteria for A, B, and C are as follows.

As shown in Table 1, the examples of the present invention are superior in solderability, rust resistance, and surface gloss compared to the conventional examples (m13, 14.15) in which only heat treatment was performed, and there is less deterioration in spring properties. Further, the spring properties are significantly superior to the conventional example (Ih16) which is not subjected to heat treatment. In Comparative Example Fish 10, since the amount of electrolyzed electricity was too small, the oxide film produced by the heat treatment remained, resulting in poor solderability and rust resistance. Because the amount of electrolyzed electricity in Comparative Floor 11 is too high, and because the current density of electrolysis in Comparative Floor 12 is too high, the surface gloss has deteriorated in both cases.

As a material with few defects, it can be highly effective in improving the reliability of electronic equipment and precision equipment.
