Abstract
Description
近年、これらが使用される電子・電気機器で使用される電流の周波数が高くなり、表皮効果により実質的な導電率が低下するため、材料にも高導電性が要求されるようになっている。そこで、元々、黄銅やリン青銅は導電性が低く、コルソン銅合金はコネクタ材として、中導電性(EC≒40~50%IACS)を示すが、さらに高導電性が求められている。また、ベリリウム銅は中導電性を有するが高価であり、さらにはベリリウムが環境負荷物質であるために他の銅合金等への置き換えが検討されていることも周知である。一方、高導電性である純銅(C1100)やSn入銅(C14410)などは強度が低い欠点がある。そこで、従来のコルソン銅を越える導電性と、同等の引張強度、曲げ加工性を備えた銅合金が所望されている。
上記Cxxxxとは、JISで規定された銅合金の種類であり、%IACSとはinternational annealed copper standardの略で、材料の導電性を示す単位である。 To date, brass (C2600), phosphor bronze (C5191, C5212, C5210), beryllium copper (C17200, C17530), and Corson alloy (C7025) have been used for connectors, terminals, relays, switches, etc. for electronic and electrical equipment. It has been.
In recent years, the frequency of currents used in electronic and electrical equipment in which these are used has increased, and the substantial electrical conductivity has been lowered due to the skin effect. Therefore, high conductivity is also required for materials. . Therefore, originally, brass and phosphor bronze have low conductivity, and the Corson copper alloy shows medium conductivity (EC≈40 to 50% IACS) as a connector material, but higher conductivity is required. Also, it is well known that beryllium copper has medium conductivity but is expensive, and beryllium is an environmentally hazardous substance, so that replacement with another copper alloy or the like is being studied. On the other hand, pure copper (C1100) and Sn-filled copper (C14410), which are highly conductive, have a drawback of low strength. Therefore, a copper alloy having electrical conductivity exceeding that of conventional Corson copper and equivalent tensile strength and bending workability is desired.
The above-mentioned Cxxxx is a type of copper alloy specified by JIS, and% IACS is an abbreviation for international annealed copper standard, and is a unit indicating the conductivity of a material.
この特許文献1記載の銅合金の製造にあたっては溶体化温度を高くとり(例えば、特許文献1の実施例では950℃)、十分に固溶させ後の熱処理で析出硬化する方法をとっている。
しかしながら、この方法では結晶粒が粗大化してしまう。合金組織において、結晶粒径が粗大であると曲げ加工性が悪いことが知られており、従来の溶体化処理された銅合金では、良好な曲げ加工性を得ることはできなかった。

If the Co content is less than 0.5 mass%, the precipitation strengthening amount is small, and if it exceeds 2.5 mass%, the effect is saturated.

結晶粒径測定法:試験片の圧延方向に垂直な断面を湿式研磨、バフ研磨により鏡面に仕上げた後、クロム酸:水=1:1の液で数秒研磨面を腐食した後、SEMの二次電子像を用いて400~1000倍の倍率で写真をとり、断面の平均結晶粒径(μm)をJIS-H-0501の切断法に準じて測定した。断面は、圧延方向横断面で測定した。
曲げ加工性評価:供試材から各板厚の板巾w=10(mm)のサンプルを金属研磨粉で表面上を軽くこすり酸化膜を除去した後、曲げの内側の角度が90°になるようなW曲げを圧延方向に平行なサンプルについての曲げ(GOOD WAY:以下GW)、圧延方向に垂直なサンプルについての曲げ(BAD WAY:以下BW)の2種類において行った。曲げの評価に関しては、微細クラックが入らない最も小さな曲げ半径Rをサンプル板厚tで割った値であるR/tで評価した。 For the obtained alloy materials of Invention Examples 1 to 3, 10 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, 18 to 22, as in Reference Example 1, yield stress (YS), tensile strength (TS), and Conductivity (EC) was measured. Further, the crystal grain size (GS) and bending workability (R / t) were measured based on the following methods. The results are shown in Table 5.
Grain size measurement method: After the cross section perpendicular to the rolling direction of the test piece is polished to a mirror surface by wet polishing and buffing, the polished surface is corroded with a solution of chromic acid: water = 1: 1 for several seconds, A photograph was taken at a magnification of 400 to 1000 times using the next electron image, and the average crystal grain size (μm) of the cross section was measured according to the cutting method of JIS-H-0501. The cross section was measured by a cross section in the rolling direction.
Bending workability evaluation: After removing the oxide film by lightly rubbing the surface of the specimen with a plate width w = 10 (mm) of each thickness with metal polishing powder, the angle inside the bending becomes 90 °. Such W-bending was performed in two types: bending for a sample parallel to the rolling direction (GOOD WAY: hereinafter GW) and bending for a sample perpendicular to the rolling direction (BAD WAY: hereinafter BW). Regarding the evaluation of bending, it was evaluated by R / t, which is a value obtained by dividing the smallest bending radius R at which no fine cracks occur by the sample plate thickness t.
具体的には、降伏応力が500MPa以上650MPa未満、導電率が60%IACS以上、かつ、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWとBWの両方で1.0以下となった。また、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWとBWの両方で0.6以下、さらには0.5未満となった例もあり、強度、導電率、曲げ性のバランスが優れた銅合金材が得られていることがわかった。
一方、同様な組成であっても、比較例1~3に示す温度の熱処理を行った場合は、強度は本発明例1~3と同等かあるいは高くなるが、粒径が粗大になり、本発明例1~3より曲げ加工性が劣るものとなった。また、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWよりBWで劣る傾向がみられた。
表5に示されるように、比較例3では、溶体化温度を規定より低くとる処理では、再結晶しない組織が残存し(表5に結晶粒径の値なし(-)として示した)、また溶体化温度を規定より高くとる処理では、結晶粒が粗大化し、いずれも課題となる良好な曲げ加工性を維持することはできなかった。 In Invention Examples 1 to 3 in Table 5, when the solution treatment temperature Ts (° C.) is 800 ° C. or more and 960 ° C. or less and the Co content (mass%) is X, −122.77X 2 +409 The temperature (° C.) is lower than .99X + 615.74. For this reason, it was possible to maintain a particle size of less than 20 μm and to obtain a copper alloy material having an excellent balance of strength, conductivity, and bendability.
Specifically, the yield stress was 500 MPa or more and less than 650 MPa, the electrical conductivity was 60% IACS or more, and the value (R / t) indicating bending workability was 1.0 or less for both GW and BW. In addition, there is an example in which the value (R / t) indicating bending workability is 0.6 or less for both GW and BW, and even less than 0.5, and the balance of strength, conductivity, and bendability is excellent. It was found that a copper alloy material was obtained.
On the other hand, even with the same composition, when the heat treatment at the temperature shown in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is performed, the strength is equal to or higher than that of Examples 1 to 3, but the grain size becomes coarse, and Bending workability was inferior to Invention Examples 1 to 3. Moreover, the value (R / t) which shows bending workability showed the tendency to be inferior in BW rather than GW.
As shown in Table 5, in Comparative Example 3, in the treatment in which the solution temperature was lower than specified, a structure that did not recrystallize remained (shown in Table 5 as no crystal grain size value (−)), and In the treatment in which the solution temperature is higher than the specified value, the crystal grains are coarsened, and none of the good bending workability, which is a problem, can be maintained.
具体的には、降伏応力が500MPa以上650MPa未満、導電率が60%IACS以上となるサンプルについては、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWとBWの両方で1.2以下となった。また、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWとBWの両方で1.0以下、さらには0.6以下、さらには0.5未満となった例もあった。また、降伏応力が650MPa以上、導電率が50%IACS以上となるサンプルについては、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWとBWの両方で1.5以下、さらには1.2以下となった。このように、強度、導電率、曲げ性のバランスが優れた銅合金材が得られていることがわかった。
また、参考例1の手段でCo、Siのみを添加時に粒径を20μm以下に制御できている場合でも、上記金属を添加することで更なる結晶粒微細化を促進でき、優位な曲げ加工特性を得ることができる。
一方、添加元素IIの添加量が1%を超えた比較例18~22では鋳造時の酸化物の形成、また、高温熱処理中の析出過多による製造性の難化がおきる。また、添加元素IIの添加量が1%を超えた比較例21では、固溶型元素を添加すると導電率が大きく下がり、降伏応力が650MPa未満であるが、R/tの値がBWで1.2を超えており、曲げ加工性に劣るものであった。また、曲げ加工性を示す値(R/t)が、GWよりBWで劣る傾向がみられた。 In Invention Examples 10 to 16 in Table 5, one or more of Cr, Mg, Mn, Sn, V, Zn, Al, Fe, Nb, Ni, Ti, and Zr are added (that is, the total amount of the additive element II is 0.01). -14.63% X 2 + 329.9999 + 677.09 when the solution treatment temperature Ts (° C.) is 800 ° C. or more and 960 ° C. or less and the Co content (mass%) is X. Lower temperature (° C). For this reason, the particle size could be reduced to 20 μm or less by heat treatment at the same high temperature as in Reference Example 1, and had the same strength as Reference Example 1 and excellent bending workability. .
Specifically, for a sample having a yield stress of 500 MPa or more and less than 650 MPa and an electrical conductivity of 60% IACS or more, the value (R / t) indicating bending workability is 1.2 or less for both GW and BW. became. In addition, there was an example in which the value (R / t) indicating the bending workability was 1.0 or less, further 0.6 or less, and further less than 0.5 for both GW and BW. In addition, for a sample having a yield stress of 650 MPa or more and a conductivity of 50% IACS or more, the value (R / t) indicating the bending workability is 1.5 or less for both GW and BW, and further 1.2. It became the following. Thus, it was found that a copper alloy material having an excellent balance of strength, conductivity, and bendability was obtained.
Even when only Co and Si are added by the means of Reference Example 1 and the grain size can be controlled to 20 μm or less, further refinement of crystal grains can be promoted by adding the above metal, and superior bending properties Can be obtained.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 18 to 22 in which the amount of additive element II added exceeds 1%, the formation of oxide during casting and the difficulty of manufacturability due to excessive precipitation during high-temperature heat treatment occur. Further, in Comparative Example 21 in which the addition amount of the additive element II exceeds 1%, when the solid solution element is added, the conductivity is greatly lowered and the yield stress is less than 650 MPa, but the value of R / t is 1 in BW. .2 and was inferior in bending workability.
