- high strength exceeding lOOOMPa can be secured by performing cold working.This strength is possible when aging treatment is performed even when cold working, and exceeds 1 OOOMPa without heat treatment. The strength has not been achieved.
- the strength is improved by aging treatment, but the Young's modulus also increases at the same time, and there is a problem that the characteristic of low rigidity, which has been obtained, is lost. Further, if aging treatment is required, the number of steps increases, and if the steps are complicated, there is a problem.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-247924 describes an alloy having a tensile elastic strength of 1000 MPa or more in some alloys. Although the range is not clearly described, as is clear from the description of the examples, the invention is substantially based on the manufacturing based on sintering. Although many examples of alloys containing 30% or more of Nb are described in the examples of this document, the present inventors have confirmed through experiments that such a large amount of Nb-containing alloys can be produced by the smelting method. When manufactured, it was found that it was difficult to manufacture a material having uniform properties such as strength, which is difficult to manufacture an ingot having uniform components, by a melting method. When the method is limited to the sintering method, there is a problem that the cost is greatly increased as compared with the production by the melting method and it is difficult to reduce the cost.
- the present invention has a low Young's modulus and good cold workability, and can easily achieve a high strength of lOOOMPa or more without relying on aging treatment.
- Providing a titanium alloy with low rigidity, high strength and excellent spring properties that can be manufactured by the smelting method, while maintaining a high mounting property for The aim is to make it possible to manufacture a spectacle frame that is lightweight and has improved wearability.
- the present inventors have obtained high strength, low rigidity, and all excellent cold workability, and excellent characteristics, and can be manufactured by a melting method. As a result of intensive studies to find a suitable component range, the present inventors have obtained the following findings and completed the present invention.
- Titanium alloys are roughly classified into three types according to the crystal structure of the parent phase at room temperature.
- ⁇ -type alloys with ⁇ phase as dense hexagonal crystal (HCP) as a mother phase ⁇ + type alloy with body-centered cubic (BCC) i3 phase and ⁇ -phase coexist, and body-centered cubic crystal
- HCP dense hexagonal crystal
- BCC body-centered cubic
- stress-induced martensitic transformation occurs due to stress loading at room temperature, and this is particularly called Near type alloy.
- the present invention relates to this Near type alloy.
- Titanium alloy usually has a Young's modulus of about 80-l lOGPa.
- Nb and Mo are added in an appropriate amount, thermoelastic mar- uling occurs due to stress-induced transformation at a low stress below the yield stress.
- Tensite is generated to cause apparent distortion, and when stress is removed, the matrix returns to the original parent phase by reverse transformation, so that the Young's modulus can be reduced.
- a large amount of Nb can be easily added. It has been found that, by controlling the content to less than%, the production is easy even by the smelting method.
- a high tensile strength of lOOOMPa or more can be achieved only by cold working without relying on aging treatment, and it is compatible with low rigidity obtained by the generation of thermoelastic martensite. S power.
- the present invention has been made by obtaining the above findings (1), (2), and (3).
- the titanium alloy having excellent spring characteristics according to claim 1 of the present invention which has been completed based on the knowledge described above, has a Nb content of 10% or more and less than 30% and an A1 content of 0.5% or more 8% by weight. % Or less, Nb + Al ⁇ 18%, Mo is contained at 0.5% or more and less than 10%, oxygen is contained at 0.05% or more and 0.5% or less, and the balance is titanium and It consists of unavoidable impurities.
- Nb 10% or more and less than 30%
- Nb is the most important element for the present invention, and as described above, the addition of Nb generates thermoelastic martensite at the time of stress loading, and returns to the original matrix at the time of stress removal, thereby lowering the Young's modulus. Can be achieved. In order to obtain this effect, it is necessary to add a certain amount of sashimi, so the lower limit was set to 10%. However, if a large amount is added, it becomes difficult to produce an ingot with uniform performance in the production by the melting method, so the upper limit is set to less than 30%.
- A1 Nb + Al ⁇ 18 at 0.5% or more and 8% or less
- A1 is an element necessary to obtain high strength of lOOOMPa or higher only by cold working without relying on aging treatment.
- the effect of high strength increases as the amount of A1 increases, but it is necessary to add at least 0.5% or more and Nb + Al ⁇ 18 to obtain the desired strength.
- a large amount of soybean curd leads to an increase in Young's modulus and lowers cold workability. / 0 .
- Co, Cr, Fe, V, and Sn are elements that have the effect of further improving the strength by being added to the alloy according to claim 1 as necessary. However, if a large amount is contained, high strength can be obtained, but the Young's modulus increases and it is difficult to achieve both high strength and low rigidity. It should be able to be added in a range where the effect on processability and Young's modulus is small (by weight% ⁇ 0, total of three elements of Cr and Fe is 3% or less, V: less than 10%, Sn: 20% or less). did.
- Claim 3 is characterized in that it is formed by using at least a part of the cold-worked wire made of the titanium alloy according to claim 1 or 2 and has low rigidity, high strength and excellent spring characteristics. It is a glasses frame.
- Claims 1 and 2 have clarified a titanium alloy that can achieve low rigidity and high strength only by cold working and can be manufactured at a low cost because it can be manufactured by a melting method instead of a sintering method.
