- the present invention relates to a copper alloy fastener element. Moreover, this invention relates to the slide fastener provided with the said fastener element.
- Time cracking is a phenomenon in which cracking occurs on the outer surface of a product when a copper-zinc alloy containing residual stress is exposed to a corrosive environment such as ammonia gas. It is known that such a problem of time cracking is likely to occur in a copper-zinc alloy having a zinc content of 10% by mass or more. For this reason, it is conceivable to reduce the proportion of zinc to less than 10% by mass in order to improve the time cracking resistance of the copper-zinc alloy. However, such an alloy not only increases the material price but also does not have sufficient strength. It is not desirable as a copper alloy for elements.
- any third element that has been confirmed to be effective in preventing cracking is an element that is more expensive than zinc, there is a problem in that the material cost increases.
- a third element such as tin to the copper-zinc alloy decreases the cold workability of the copper-zinc alloy, which causes a problem that cold working at a high reduction rate is impossible.

Abstract
Description
得られた線材を伸線する工程と、
伸線された線材に対して銅の拡散距離が0.5~3.0nmとなる加熱条件での焼鈍を行う工程と、
焼鈍後の線材に対して冷間圧延を行う工程と、
を順に実施することで断面略Y字状の異形線を製造し、
その後、得られた異形線を成形加工することを含む銅合金製ファスナーエレメントの製造方法である。
本発明に係るファスナーエレメントは一実施形態において、見掛け上の亜鉛含有量が34~38質量%である銅合金を母材で構成される。見掛け上の亜鉛含有量は次式で表すことができる。銅亜鉛合金に第三元素を加えた場合、第三元素に応じた「Zn当量」に応じてZnを増減したような組織が生じ、それに対応した性質を示すことが知られている(「銅および銅合金の基礎と工業技術」、日本伸銅協会、1994年)。
B’=(B+Σtq)/(A+B+Σtq)×100(式中、B’は見掛け上の亜鉛含有量(質量%)、AはCu濃度(質量%)、BはZn濃度(質量%)、tはZn当量、qは添加した第三元素の濃度(質量%))
本発明に係るファスナーエレメントを構成する母材は一実施形態において、デンドライト組織を有する。デンドライト組織を有することで、β相の有無に関わらず耐時期割れ性を有意に向上させることができる。特に、ファスナーテープと接触するファスナーエレメントの脚部及び股部の内側面がデンドライト組織を有することが耐時期割れ性を向上させる上で好ましい。ファスナーエレメントは、線材を溶解鋳造した後、伸線、焼鈍、冷間圧延及び切断を順に実施することで製造可能であるところ、デンドライト組織は線材の連続鋳造時に発達させることが可能な樹枝状組織である。従来、デンドライト組織は、加工歪の除去を目的として又は加工した材料を軟化させる目的で実施する焼鈍工程で再結晶化されて消失していた。そのため、デンドライト組織を維持するためにはファスナーエレメントの製造工程において再結晶化を抑制することが重要となる。
D=D0・exp(-Q/(RT)) ・・・(1)
式中、D0:0.2cm2/sec、Q:47.1kcal/mol、R:気体定数(8.31446J/(mol・K))、T:加熱温度(K)を表す。
そして、拡散距離Lは次式(2)で表される。
L=√(Dt) ・・・(2)
式中、Dは拡散係数、t:加熱時間を表す。
焼鈍工程を拡散距離が3.0nm以下、好ましくは2.5nm以下となる温度及び時間条件で実施することにより、デンドライト組織を維持することが可能となる。但し、金型寿命を高める上では焼鈍工程は拡散距離が0.5nm以上となる温度及び時間条件で実施することが好ましく、さらに拡散距離が1.0nm以上となる温度及び時間条件で実施することがより好ましい。デンドライト組織の存在はマイクロスコープによる観察によって確認可能である。本発明に係るファスナーエレメントを構成する母材は好ましい実施形態において、再結晶組織を有しない。なお、拡散距離に応じてデンドライト組織の状態も変化するが、それを組織観察の結果から表現することは極めて困難である。
β相は存在していたほうが優れた耐時期割れ性を示すことができる。見掛け上の亜鉛含有量が34質量%以上とすることにより、鋳造凝固時にβ相を存在させることが可能である。従って、本発明に係る銅合金製ファスナーエレメントは一実施形態においてβ相が存在する。このため、耐時期割れ性を高める観点からは、β相の比率は多ければ多いほど好ましく、例えば1%以上とすることができ、2%以上とすることが好ましい。但し、β相の割合が増加すると金型寿命に悪影響を与える。また、本発明においてはファスナーエレメントを構成する母材がデンドライト組織を有しており、β相の割合を大きく増加させなくても優れた耐時期割れ性が得られる。このため、β相の比率は10%以下であることが好ましく、8%以下であることが更により好ましい。
以下、本発明に係るファスナーエレメントの製造方法の一例について説明する。上述組成を有する銅亜鉛合金を加熱溶解した後、線材を一方向に連続鋳造する。一方向に連続鋳造することでデンドライト組織を発達させることができる。また、鋳造時に急冷するとβ相が生じやすい。次いで、必要に応じて表面を平滑化した後、伸線、焼鈍及び冷間圧延の各工程を順に実施し、図1に示すような、エレメントの形状に対応する断面略Y字状からなる異形線10を製造する。焼鈍工程は先述した拡散距離条件で実施することによりデンドライト組織を維持することが肝要である。次いで、断面略Y字状の異形線10に対して、パンチ及びダイを備えた切断型を利用して、異形線の長さ方向に直角な方向に所望の間隔で切断し、複数のY字状部材20を得る工程を実施する。
ファスナーエレメントを構成する母材には必要に応じて、各種の表面処理を行ってもよい。例えば、平滑化処理、防錆処理、クリア塗装処理、及び鍍金処理などを行うことができる。表面処理はファスナーテープへの植え付け前及び/又は後に行うことができる。とりわけ平滑化処理を実施した後、更に防錆処理(防錆工程+水洗工程+乾燥工程)を行うことが好ましい。また、防錆処理後に又は防錆処理無しで、更にクリア塗装処理(塗装工程+乾燥工程)や鍍金処理を行い、耐食性、耐候性等を向上させることができる。最終工程として、摺動抵抗を軽くするためにワックス掛けをしても良い。
本発明に係るファスナーエレメントを備えたスライドファスナーの例を図面に基づき具体的に説明する。図3は、スライドファスナーの模式図であり、図3に示すようにスライドファスナーは、一側縁に芯紐部2が形成された一対のファスナーテープ1とファスナーテープ1の芯紐部2に所定の間隔をおいてかしめ固定(装着)されたエレメント3と、エレメント3の上端及び下端でファスナーテープ1の芯紐部2にかしめ固定された上止具4及び下止具5と、対向する一対のエレメント3間に配され、エレメント3の噛合及び開離を行うための上下方向に摺動自在なスライダー6を備える。なお、一本のファスナーテープ1の芯紐部2にエレメント3が装着された状態のものをスライドファスナーストリンガーといい、一対のファスナーテープ1の芯紐部2に装着されたエレメント3が噛合状態となっているものをスライドファスナーチェーン7という。
上記によって得られた各ファスナーエレメントの股部内側面を研磨及びエッチングした後、マイクロスコープ観察で組織観察した。デンドライト組織が発達していたファスナーエレメントには「デンドライト」と、再結晶組織が発達していたファスナーエレメントには「再結晶」と表2に記載した。また、先述した方法によってβ相の比率を算出した。具体的には、得られた各ファスナーエレメントの任意の一つについて、圧延面に垂直な断面組織を、断面写真により観察した。SiC耐水研磨紙(#180~#2000まで)を用いて研磨することにより圧延面に垂直な断面を露出させ、この断面に対して更に平均粒度が3μm及び1μmのダイヤモンドペーストで順に鏡面仕上げを施し、これを試験片としてX線回折による測定を行った。測定機種としては、ブルッカーAXS社製、GADDS-Discover8を使用し、測定時間は低角度側90s、高角度側120sとして、α相及びβ相のピーク強度積分値をそれぞれ算出した。β相の比率(%)=(β相ピーク強度積分値)/(α相ピーク強度積分値+β相ピーク強度積分値)×100として算出した。結果を表2に示す。図4には、試験番号3-5のファスナーエレメントにおいて観察されたデンドライト組織の一例を示すマイクロスコープ写真を掲載した。また、図5には、試験番号1-4のファスナーエレメントにおいて観察される再結晶組織の一例を示すマイクロスコープ写真を掲載した。なお、「デンドライト」と評価されたファスナーエレメントは股部内側面のみならず、脚部、頭部についてもデンドライト組織が観察された。
各ファスナーエレメントの製造工程で、Y-barからパンチ及びダイを備えた切断型を利用して順次切断して多数のY字状部材を作製したとき、各条件においてY字状部材の形状に異常が発生するまでの切断回数を調査し、例1-1の切断回数を100%として以下の基準で評価した。結果を表2に示す。
○:80%以上100%未満の場合
△:60%以上80%未満の場合
×:0%以上60%未満の場合
耐時期割れ性の評価については、JBMA-T301(日本伸銅協会技術標準)に基づいてアンモニア暴露試験の前後で各ファスナーエレメントに対して強度測定を行い、アンモニア暴露前に対するアンモニア暴露後の強度保持率を調査した。強度測定は各試験例のエレメントをポリエステル製ファスナーテープの一側縁に形成した芯紐部に曲げ加工及びかしめ操作を行うことで装着した上で、エレメント引き抜き試験により行った。引き抜き試験はインストロン型引張試験機を用いて、エレメント1個の噛合頭部をジグでつかみ、クランプに固定されたファスナーテープからエレメントが引き抜かれるまで引張速度300mm/minで引っ張り、そのときの最大強度を測定することで行った。エレメントの引張方向はファスナーテープの長手方向に直角で且つファスナーテープの面に平行な方向とした。測定結果は6回測定後の平均値とし、以下の基準で評価した。結果を表2に示す。
○:70%以上100%未満の場合
×:70%未満の場合
上記の試験結果を表2に示す。結果から、デンドライト組織を有する本発明の実施例に対応するファスナーエレメントはβ相の比率が高いときはもちろんβ相の比率が低くても耐時期割れ性に優れていることが理解できる。そして、デンドライト組織を有しつつ、β相の比率が低いファスナーエレメントは金型寿命に優れ、同一の金型で多数生産可能であることが分かる。一方、再結晶組織を有するファスナーエレメントはβ相の比率が小さい場合には優れた耐時期割れ性を有することができなかった。
