Definitions
- This invention relates to copper alloys having high strength, good formability and relatively high electrical conductivity. More particularly, grain refinement of a tin brass is obtained by a controlled addition of iron, cobalt or other element that initiates a peritectic reaction during solidification.-.
- tin brasses are copper alloys containing from 0.35%-4% tin, up to 0.35% phosphorous, from 49% to 96% copper and the balance zinc.
- the alloys are designated by the Copper Development Association (CDA) as copper alloys C40400 through C49080.
- One commercial tin brass is a copper alloy designated as C42500.
- the alloy has the composition 87%-90% of copper, 1.5%-3.0% of tin, a maximum of 0.05% of iron, a maximum of 0.35% phosphorous and the balance zinc.
- the products formed from this alloy are electrical switch springs, terminals, connectors, fuse clips, pen clips and weather stripping.
- the ASM Handbook specifies copper alloy C42500 as having a nominal electrical conductivity of 28% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard where "pure” copper is assigned a conductivity value of 100% IACS at 20 °C) and a yield strength, dependent on temper, of between 45 si and 92 ksi.
- IACS International Annealed Copper Standard where "pure” copper is assigned a conductivity value of 100% IACS at 20 °C
- yield strength dependent on temper
- the maximum permissible iron content, as an impurity is typically 0.05%. This is because iron is known to reduce electrical conductivity and, through the formation of stringers, deteriorate the bend properties.
- tin brass alloy having increased strength. It is a feature of the invention that the increased strength is achieved by an addition of controlled amounts of a combination of iron and zinc. It is another feature of the invention that by processing the alloy according to a specified sequence of steps, a fine microstructure is retained in the wrought alloy.
- the yield strength is increased without a degradation in electrical conductivity.
- the microstructure of a refined as-cast alloy, grain size less than 100 microns, and a wrought alloy, grain size of about 5-20 microns, is fine grain.
- the electrical conductivity is about equal to that of copper alloy C42500 with a significant increase in yield strength.
- a copper alloy This alloy consists essentially of from 1 % to 4% by weight of tin, from 0.8% to 4.0% by weight of iron, from an amount effective to enhance iron initiated grain refinement to 20% by weight of zinc, up to 0.4% by weight of phosphorus and the remainder is copper, as well as inevitable impurities.
- the grain refined alloy has an average as-cast grain size of less than 100 microns and an average grain size after processing of between about 5 and 20 microns.
- Figure 1 is a flow chart illustrating one method of processing the alloy of the invention.
- Figure 2 graphically illustrates the effect of iron content on the yield strength.
- Figure 3 graphically illustrates the effect of iron content on the ultimate tensile strength.
- Figure 4 graphically illustrates the effect of tin content on the yield strength.
- Figure 5 graphically illustrates the effect of tin content on the ultimate tensile strength.
- Figure 6 graphically illustrates the effect of zinc content on the yield strength.
- Figure 7 graphically illustrates the effect of zinc content on the ultimate tensile strength.
- the copper alloys of the invention are an iron modified tin brass.
- the alloys consist essentially of from 1% to 4% of tin, from 0.8% to 4.0% of iron, from 5% to 20% of zinc, up to 0.4% of phosphorus and the remainder is copper along with inevitable impurities.
- the grain refined alloy has an average crystalline grain size of less than 100 microns.
- the tin content is from 1.5% to 2.5% and the iron content is from 1.6% to 2.2%. 1.6% of iron has been found to be a critical minimum to achieve as-cast grain refinement. Most preferably, the iron content is from 1.6% to 1.8%.
- Tin increases the strength of the alloys of the invention and also increases the resistance of the alloys to stress relaxation.
- the resistance to stress relaxation is recorded as percent stress remaining after a strip sample is preloaded to 80% of the yield strength in a — cantilever mode per ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) specifications.
- the strip is heated to 125°C for the specified number of hours and retested periodically.
- the properties were measured at up to 3000 hours at 125 °C. The higher the stress remaining, the better the utility of the specified composition for spring applications.
- the tin content of the alloys of the invention is from about
- the refined microstructure is characterized by an average grain size of less than 100 microns.
- the average grain size is from 30 to 90 microns and most preferably, from 40 to 70 microns.
- This refined microstructure facilitates mechanical deformation at elevated temperatures, such as rolling at 850 °C.
- the iron content is less than about 1.6%, the grain refining effect is reduced and coarse crystalline grains, with an average grain size on the order of 600-2000 microns, develop.
- the iron content exceeds 2.2%, excessive amount of stringers develop during hot working.
- the effective iron range 1.6%-2.2%, differs from the iron range of the alloys disclosed in EP 0769563 A 1 that discloses that grain refinement was not optimized until the iron content exceeded about 2%.
- the ability to refine the grain structure at lower iron contents in the alloys of the present invention was unexpected and believed due to a phase equilibrium shift due to the inclusion of zinc. To be effective, this phase shift interaction requires a minimum zinc content of about 5%.
- Large stringers having a length in excess of about 200 microns, are expected to form when the iron content exceeds about 2.2%.
- the large stringers impact both the appearance of the alloy surface as well as the properties, electrical and chemical, of the surface.
- the large stringers can change the solderability and electro-platability of the alloy.
- the iron content should be maintained between about 1.6% and 2.2% and preferably, between about 1.6% and 1.8%.
- the zinc content is from that effective to enhance iron initiated grain refinement to about 20%. More preferably, the zinc content is from about 5% to about 15% and most preferably, the zinc content is from about 8% to about 12%.
- Cobalt is a suitable substitute for either a portion, or all, of the iron as shown in Table 4.
- the cobalt content when used as the primary grain refiner, should be in excess of about 3.0%.
- the cobalt content is between about 3.2% and 4.4% and most preferably from between 3.2% and 3.6%. Excessive amounts of cobalt should be avoided because coarse stringers of excess properitectic cobalt particles may occur and degrade alloy properties.
- Cobalt may be added as a partial substitute for iron. Cobalt less effectively refines the grain structure of the alloys of the invention and the substitution should satisfy the equation:
- Fe+MCo iron ranges specified above.
- M is between 0.45 and 0.65, and preferably from 0.5 to 0.6. Most preferably, the substitution is in the higher range, about 0.6 for lower contents of cobalt and about 0.5 for higher contents of cobalt with an approximate delineation between the lower contents and the higher contents being a 2% cobalt.
- Suitable properitectic particle formers include iridium in an amount of from about 10% to about 20% and preferably in an amount of from about 1 1% to 15%; niobium in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 5% and preferably in an amount of from about 0.1 % to about 1 %; vanadium in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 5% and preferably in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 1%; and molybdenum in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 5% and preferably in an amount of from about 1% to about 3%.
- peritectic reaction initiators may substitute, in whole or in part, for cobalt or iron.
- Phosphorous is added to the alloy for conventional reasons, to prevent the formation of copper oxide or tin oxide precipitates and to promote the formation of iron phosphides. Phosphorous causes problems with the processing of the alloy, particularly with hot rolling. It is believed that the iron addition counters the detrimental impact of phosphorous. At least a minimal amount of iron must be present to counteract the impact of the phosphorous.
- a suitable phosphorous content is any amount up to about 0.4%.
- a preferred phosphorous content is from about 0.03% to 0.3%.
- additions of elements that affect the properties of the alloy are less preferred.
- additions such as nickel, magnesium, beryllium, silicon, zirconium, titanium, chromium and mixtures thereof may be included.
- the less preferred additions are preferably present in an amount of less than about 0.4% and most preferably, in an amount of less than about
- the sum of all less preferred alloying additions is less than about 0.5%.
- the alloys of the invention are preferably processed according to the flow chart illustrated in Figure 1.
- An ingot being an alloy of a composition specified herein, is cast 10 by a conventional process such direct chill casting.
- the alloy is hot rolled 12, at a temperature of from about 650°C to about 950°C and preferably, at a temperature of between about 825 °C and 875 °C.
- the alloy is heated 14 to maintain the desired hot roll 12 temperature.
- the hot rolling reduction is, typically, by thickness, up to 98% and preferably, from about 80% to about 95%.
- the hot rolling may be in a single pass or in multiple passes, provided that the temperature of the ingot is maintained at above 650 °C.
- the alloy is, optionally, water quenched 16.
- the bars are then mechanically milled to remove surface oxides and then cold rolled 18 to a reduction of at least 60%, by thickness, from the gauge at completion of the hot roll step 12, in either one or multiple passes.
- the cold roll reduction 18 is from about 60%-90%.
- the strip is then annealed 20 at a temperature between about 400 °C and about 600 °C for a time of from about 0.5 hour to about 8 hours to recrystallize the alloy.
- this first recrystallization anneal is at a temperature between about 500°C and about 600°C for a time between 3 and 5 hours. These times are for bell annealing in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or in a reducing atmosphere such as a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen.
- the strip may also be strip annealed, such as for example, at a temperature of from about 600°C to about 950°C for from 0.5 minute to 10 -- minutes.
- the first recrystallization anneal 20 causes additional precipitates of iron and iron phosphide to develop. These precipitates control the grain size during this and subsequent anneals, add strength to the alloy via dispersion hardening and increase electrical conductivity by drawing iron out of solution from the copper matrix.
- the bars are then cold rolled 22 a second time to a thickness reduction of from about 30% to about 70% and preferably of from about 35% to about 45%.
- the strip is then given a second recrystallization anneal 24, utilizing the same times and temperatures as the first recrystallization anneal.
- the average grain size is between 3 and 20 microns.
- the average grain size of the processed alloy is from 5 to 10 microns.
- the alloys are then cold rolled 26 to final gauge, typically on the order of between 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) and 0.38 mm (0.015 inch). This final cold roll imparts a spring temper comparable to that of copper alloy C51000.
- the alloys are then relief annealed 28 to optimize resistance to stress relaxation.
- One exemplary relief anneal is a bell anneal in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of between about 200°C and about 300°C for from 1 to 4 hours.
- a second exemplary relief anneal is a strip anneal at a temperature of from about 250°C to about 600°C for from about 0.5 minutes to about 10 minutes.
- the copper alloy strip is formed into a desired product such as a spring or an electrical connector.
- Copper alloys containing 10.5% zinc, 1.7% tin, 0.04% phosphorous, between 0% and 2.3% iron and the balance copper were prepared according to the process of Figure 1. Following the relief anneal 28, the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength of sample coupons, 51 mm (2 inch) gauge length, were measured at room temperature (20 °C).
- the 0.2% offset yield strength and the tensile strength were measured on a tension testing machine (manufactured by Tinius Olsen, Willow Grove, PA).
- Figure 3 graphically illustrates a similar relationship between the iron content and the ultimate tensile strength.
- Copper alloys containing 10.4% zinc, 1.8% iron, 0.04% phosphorous, between 1.8% and 4.0% tin and the balance copper were processed according to Figure 1.
- Test coupons in the relief anneal condition 28, were evaluated for yield strength and ultimate tensile strength.
- Figure 4 graphically illustrates that increasing the tin content leads to an increase in yield strength. While Figure 5 graphically illustrates the same effect from tin additions for the ultimate tensile strength. Since the strength increase is monatomic with the amount of tin while the conductivity decreases, the tin content should be a trade-off between desired strength and conductivity.
- Example 3 Copper alloys containing 1.9% iron, 1.8% tin, 0.04% phosphorous, between 0% and 15% zinc and the balance copper were processed according to Figure 1.
- Test coupons in the relief anneal condition 28, were evaluated for yield strength and ultimate tensile strength.
- Figure 6 graphically illustrates that a zinc content of less than about 5% does not contribute to the strength of the alloy, and as discussed above, does not enhance the grain refining capability of the iron. Above 5% zinc, the alloy strength is increased, although a decrease in electrical conductivity is experienced.
- Figure 7 graphically illustrates the same effect from zinc additions for the ultimate tensile strength of the alloy.
- Example 4 Table 5 illustrates a series of alloys processed according to Figure 1.
- Alloy A is an alloy of the type disclosed in EP 0769563 Al. Alloys B and C are in accordance with the present invention and alloy D is conventional copper alloy C510. All properties were measured when the alloy was in a spring temper following a 70% cold roll reduction in thickness. Table 5
- Table 5 shows that the addition of 5% zinc did not increase the strength of the alloy and slightly reduced electrical conductivity. A 10% zinc addition had a favorable impact on the strength.
- % Red. percent reduction in thickness at the final cold step (reference numeral 26 in Figure 5).
- YS Yield strength in MPa and (ksi).
- MBR t (GW) Good way bends about a 180° radius of curvature.
- MBR/t (BW) Bad way bends about a 180° radius of curvature.
- a further benefit of the zinc addition is the improved good way bends achieved with alloy C. Bend formability was measured by bending a 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) wide strip 180° about a mandrel having a known radius of curvature. The minimum mandrel about which the strip could be bent without cracking or "orange peeling" is the bend formability value. The "good way” bend is made in the plane of the sheet and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (rolling direction) during thickness reduction of the strip. "Bad way” is parallel to the longitudinal axis. Bend formability is recorded as MBR/t, the minimum bend radius at which cracking or orange peeling in not apparent, divided by the thickness of the strip.
- Table 7 shows the effectiveness of cobalt as a partial substitute for iron in the tin brass alloys of the invention.
- the alloys of the invention may be cast by other processes as well.
- Some of the alternative processes have higher cooling rates such as spray casting and strip casting. The higher cooling rates reduce the size of the properitectic iron particles and are believed to shift the critical maximum iron content to a higher value such as 4%.
