Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a copper alloy thin wire excellent in mechanical characteristics and conductivity by intermediately heat-treating a copper allot having a specified content of an additional element such as Zr in the intermediate wire diameter leading to the final-diameter thin wire to deposit Cu3Zr. CONSTITUTION:A thin wire is formed from a copper alloy contg. 0.05-0.5wt.% of additional elements including at least Zr. In this case, the intermediate- diameter wire leading to the final-diameter thin wire is intermediately heat- treated at about 400-600 deg.C to deposit Cu3Zr. Au, Ag, Al, B, Be, etc., are exemplified as the additional elements other than Zr. A high-strength and high- conductivity copper alloy thin wire excellent in conductivity and mechanical characteristics is obtained in this way. When the final heat treatment at a temp. lower than that in the intermediate heat treatment is applied to the final- diameter thin wire, unrecrystallized crystal grains are left, the mechanical characteristics are maintained, the mechanical characteristics and conductivity are not significantly varied, and a highly reliable thin wire is obtained.

It was made by In other words, if only the final heat treatment is performed on a thin wire with a final wire diameter, a considerable amount of unprecipitated Zr still exists in the copper matrix, but when the wire is cold drawn after an intermediate heat treatment with an intermediate wire diameter, the amount of Zr is reduced.

Furthermore, when a final heat treatment at a lower temperature than the intermediate heat treatment is applied to a wire with a fine final wire diameter, non-recrystallized grains remain, mechanical properties are maintained, and variations in mechanical properties and conductivity are reduced, resulting in uniform properties.
