Definitions

  • the present invention relates to copper and to copper alloys having fine crystal grains, and relates to a manufacturing method therefor, and more particularly, the resent invention relates to a technology for enhancing the characteristics in bending or other working when used for electronic devices such as terminals, connectors, and lead frames for semiconductor integrated circuits.
  • the inventors have accumulated extensive research to solve these problems, and they have discovered that fine crystal grains at a level not known thus far can be obtained by controlling the conditions of the rolling process instead of the conditions of the annealing. That is, in the structure of a material cold rolled with an ordinary cold rolling reduction, when recrystallized by subsequent annealing, the decrease in dislocation density occurs discontinuously when the recrystallized grain boundaries pass a cell, and large crystal grains of uneven size are produced intermittently. This is called static recrystallization.
  • the present invention is made on the basis of these findings, and provides copper and copper alloy comprising: a structure having fine crystal grains with grain size of 1 ⁇ m or less composed of crystal grain boundaries mainly formed of curved portions after a final cold rolling, the structure obtained by dynamic continuous recrystallization caused by the final cold rolling, and an elongation of 2% or more in a tensile test.
  • the present invention also provides a manufacturing method for copper and copper alloy, the method comprising: a final cold rolling with a reduction (true stress) ⁇ , wherein ⁇ is expressed in the following formula and satisfying ⁇ 3, thereby obtaining a structure having fine crystal grains with grain size of 1 ⁇ m or less after the final cold rolling, and
  • T 0 plate thickness before rolling
  • T 1 plate thickness after rolling.
  • a high ductility is essential.
  • a fracture elongation in a tensile test is required to be 2% or more at a gauge length of 50 mm.
  • the grain size after final cold rolling must be 1 ⁇ m or less.
  • the grain size and elongation after final cold rolling vary depending on the cold rolling reduction.
  • the cold rolling reduction (true stress) ⁇ by final cold rolling process until reaching the product plate thickness is expressed in the formula below.
  • T 0 plate thickness before rolling
  • T 1 plate thickness after rolling.
  • the value of ⁇ when the value of ⁇ is small, a rolled structure remains, and clear fine crystal grains are not obtained, or if they are obtained, the grain size is large, and the grain boundary sliding does not take place, and favorable ductility is not obtained.
  • the value of ⁇ should be 3 or more in order to obtain a fine grain size of 1 ⁇ m or less.
  • the structure of a material cold rolled by a conventional ordinary cold rolling reduction sometimes had a cell structure due to mutual entangling of dislocations introduced in the crystal grains. In this case, however, since the misorientation among neighboring cells is small, that is, 15° or less, properties as crystal grain boundary are not realized. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, when recrystallized by annealing after cold rolling, as mentioned above, static crystallization takes place, that is, large crystal grains of uneven size are formed intermittently.
  • the crystal grain boundary is largely different from the case of the static recrystallization, and there is no linearity in the grain boundary, and it is a feature that a crystal grain boundary mainly composed of curved portions is formed.
  • This dynamic continuous recrystallization is mostly formed in cold rolling. It is also known that a clearer high angle grain boundary is grown by annealing at intentional low temperatures and bringing it into an ordinary recovery regime. In this case, it is found that the ductility is further enhanced as described below.
  • cold rolling may be performed by plural rolling machines by exchanging rolling machines depending on the range of plate thickness, or pickling or polishing may be performed in order to control the surface properties.
  • the ductility is enhanced, and a further preferable bending properties are obtained.
  • annealing conditions it is necessary to set adequate annealing conditions to such an extent that the product value will not be lost due to extreme decline of strength.
  • the annealing condition differs with the alloy system, but by selecting an appropriate annealing condition in a temperature range of 80 to 500° C. and in a range of 5 to 60 minutes, an elongation of 6% or more may be easily obtained, and it is applicable to a severe bend forming.
  • Preferred examples of copper alloy of the invention include Cu—Ni—Si alloys having precipitates of intermetallic compounds of Ni and Si such as Ni 2 Si, and the copper alloys comprise Ni: 1.0 to 4.8 mass %, Si: 0.2 to 1.4 mass %, and the balance of Cu.
  • the invention also includes Cu—Cr—Zr alloys having precipitates of pure Cr grains and intermetallic compounds of Cu and Zr, and the copper alloys comprise Cr: 0.02 to 0.4 mass %, Zr: 0.1 to 0.25 mass %, and balance of Cu.
  • These copper alloy may be added with subsidiary components such as one or more of Sn, Fe, Ti, P, Mn, Zn, In, Mg and Ag in a total amount of 0.005 to 2 mass %.
  • copper alloys having second phase particles such as other kinds of precipitates and dispersed particles may be used.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining the recrystallization process.
  • FIG. 2 is a transmission electron microscope photograph showing a structure of an alloy in an example of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a transmission electron microscope photograph showing a structure of an alloy in a comparative example of the invention.
  • the aging temperature was adjusted so that the product strength would be highest in each alloy composition, or in the case of recrystallization, the temperature condition was adjusted so that the grain size would be 5 to 15 ⁇ m.
  • the final cold rolling plates of 0.15 mm in thickness were manufactured and obtained as experiment samples for evaluation. The final cold rolling conditions are also shown in Tables 1 to 3.
  • Test pieces were sampled from the obtained plates, and the materials were tested to evaluate “grain size”, “strength”, “elongation”, “bending”, and “electrical conductivity”.
  • the “grain size” the bright fields were observed by a transmission electron microscope, and it was determined by the cut-off method of JIS H 0501 on the obtained photograph.
  • “strength” and “elongation” using No. 5 specimens conforming to the tensile test specified in JIS Z 2241, the tensile strength and rupture elongation were measured.
  • “bending” by bend forming using a W-bend testing machine, the bent part was observed by an optical microscope at a magnification of 50 times, and presence or absence of cracking was observed. The mark “o” indicates that cracking is absent, and the mark “x” indicates that cracking is present.
  • the “electrical conductivity” was determined by measuring the electrical conductivity according to a four-point method.
  • FIG. 2 is a transmission electron microscope photograph of sample No. 12 of the invention, in which the mean grain size of the formed continuous recrystallization is 1 ⁇ m or less, and its crystal grain boundary is mainly composed of curved portions and is round.
  • a transmission electron microscope photograph of comparative example No. 6 is shown in FIG. 3, in which the grain size is nearly linear.
