However, the conventional Sn-
According to the Mg-P-based copper alloy wire, although the mechanical strength of the copper wire is increased by the addition of P, the conductivity of the conductor is significantly reduced, and two characteristics of high strength and high conductivity are simultaneously achieved. There is an inconvenience that we cannot be satisfied. When the above copper alloy wire is made into an ultrafine wire, a problem is a wire break at the time of wire drawing or a wire break at the time of twisting to make a cable. Therefore, it is necessary for the ultrafine copper alloy wire to have a high tensile strength and not to be broken, and a copper alloy wire having these three characteristics is desired. On the other hand, these copper alloy wires are also desired to have a composition that can be manufactured by the continuous casting method from the viewpoint of economy.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has an oxygen content of 50 ppm containing P in an amount of 2 to 40 ppm in order to increase tensile strength and conductivity, and to prevent breakage.
In Cu below, Sn and Mg are in a weight ratio of Sn / Mg of 2 ± 0.2 and Sn is 100 to 400 p.
It is intended to provide a copper alloy wire contained so as to have pm.

This is because if it is 0 ppm or more, the conductivity is lowered by 3 IACS% or more, and if it is 2 ppm or less, defects are recognized in the cast material and the wire is easily broken.

The reason for setting the above Sn to 100 to 400 ppm is 100 when the Sn / Mg weight ratio is 2 ± 0.2.
If it is less than ppm, the strength is insufficient, and it is 400
This is because if the content is higher than ppm, the conductivity will decrease. That is, since it is considered that Sn having a larger atomic radius has a larger influence on the strength than Sn, in the present invention, Sn is the main element with emphasis on strength. Here, when Sn is added to Cu as a main element, since about 400 ppm is the limit from the viewpoint of conductivity, a part of Sn is Mg.
Replaced by At this time, if the addition amount of Mg is small, the effect on the strength is small. On the other hand, if the addition amount of Mg is too large, there are many surface scratches on the rough wire when casting, particularly when manufacturing the rough wire by continuous casting. Since it is difficult to manufacture the rough wire, it is about 1/2 of Sn. About 1/2
The value is obtained by experiment.

The copper alloy wire of sample 7 containing pm is 70 kg / mm

Further, the copper alloy wire of sample 6 having a Sn content of 52 ppm has a tensile strength and a bending frequency of sample 9
The characteristics are close to those of the copper wire, indicating that the mechanical strength is low. On the other hand, the copper alloy wires of samples 1 to 5 of the present invention containing at least 100 ppm or more of Sn have high tensile strength and high bending frequency. It should be noted that Sn is 300 pp without containing P.
The copper alloy wire containing 151 ppm of m and Mg also has high properties in terms of tensile strength and bending frequency.

As can be seen from the above results, in the production by the above-mentioned batch type casting method, the occurrence of surface scratches can be prevented and the disconnection can be prevented even if P is not contained. That is,
Both surface scratches and breakage resistance are good. Further, when the Sn content is 100 to 400 ppm, the tensile strength and the number of times of bending can be improved without reducing the conductivity so much. Therefore, it is possible to provide the characteristics that the tensile strength and the conductivity are high and the wire is hard to break.

[Table 2] As can be seen from Table 2, Sample 10 (invention product) containing 2 to 40 ppm of P did not cause surface scratches and did not break when drawn to an outer diameter of 0.0254 mm. On the other hand, the comparative product of the sample 14 not containing P had surface scratches and had many wire breaks during wire drawing. In addition, the comparative product of Sample 13 having a large P content is
Low conductivity. It is considered that the addition of P reduces defects in the cast bar as a reason for the good surface scratch resistance and disconnection resistance of the alloy containing P. That is, in continuous casting, it is considered that H 2 is generated and blowholes are easily generated when O 2 is reduced in the oxygen reduction step, but the presence of P has an effect of suppressing the generation of H 2 gas. It is estimated to be.
