Certain modulation structures develop and the strength increases. Various techniques have been studied based on such a strengthening mechanism with the aim of further improving the properties of titanium copper.

Description

チタン銅板、プレス加工品およびプレス加工品の製造方法Titanium copper plate, pressed product and method for manufacturing pressed product
 本発明はチタン銅板、プレス加工品およびプレス加工品の製造方法に関し、特にプレス加工後に熱処理を行うノンミルハードン材であり、コネクタ等の電子部品用部材として好適に用いることができるチタン銅板、プレス加工品およびプレス加工品の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a titanium copper plate, a pressed product, and a method for manufacturing a pressed product, particularly a non-milled hardened material that is subjected to a heat treatment after the pressing, and can be suitably used as a member for an electronic component such as a connector. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a processed product and a pressed product.
 近年では携帯端末などに代表される電子機器の小型化が益々進み、該電子機器に使用されるコネクタは狭ピッチ化及び低背化の傾向が著しい。小型のコネクタとなればピン幅が狭く、小さく折り畳んだ加工形状となるため、使用する部材には、必要なばね性を得るための高い強度と、過酷な曲げ加工に耐えることのできる、優れた曲げ加工性が求められる。この点、チタンを含有する銅合金(以下、「チタン銅」と称する。)は、比較的強度が高く、応力緩和特性にあっては銅合金中最も優れているため、特に強度が要求される信号系端子用部材として、近年、需要が増大してきている。 In recent years, electronic devices typified by mobile terminals and the like have been increasingly miniaturized, and the connectors used in such electronic devices have been significantly reduced in pitch and height. If a small connector is used, the pin width will be narrow and it will be a small folded shape, so the members used will have high strength to obtain the required spring properties and an excellent strength that can withstand severe bending Bending workability is required. In this regard, a copper alloy containing titanium (hereinafter, referred to as “titanium copper”) has relatively high strength and is the most excellent in stress relaxation characteristics among copper alloys, so that particularly high strength is required. In recent years, demand for a signal terminal member has been increasing.
 チタン銅は、一般的に時効硬化型の銅合金であることが知られている。具体的には、溶体化処理によって溶質原子であるTiの過飽和固溶体を形成させ、その状態から低温で比較的長時間の熱処理を施すと、スピノーダル分解によって母相中にTi濃度の周期的変動である変調構造が発達し、強度が向上する。かかる強化機構を基本としてチタン銅の更なる特性向上を目指して種々の手法が研究されている。この際、問題となるのは、強度と曲げ加工性が相反する特性である点である。すなわち、強度を向上させると曲げ加工性が損なわれ、その一方で、曲げ加工性を重視すると所望の強度が得られないということである。そこで、Fe、Co、Ni、Siなどの第三元素を添加する(特許文献1)、母相中に固溶する不純物元素群の濃度を規制し、これらを第二相粒子(Cu-Ti-X系粒子)として所定の分布形態で析出させて変調構造の規則性を高くする(特許文献2)、結晶粒を微細化させるのに有効な微量添加元素と第二相粒子の密度を規定する(特許文献3)、などの観点から、チタン銅の強度と曲げ加工性の両立を図ろうとする研究開発が従来なされてきた。 Titanium copper is generally known to be an age hardening type copper alloy. Specifically, when a supersaturated solid solution of Ti, which is a solute atom, is formed by a solution treatment, and a heat treatment for a relatively long time is performed at a low temperature from that state, a periodic change in the Ti concentration in the parent phase due to spinodal decomposition occurs. Certain modulation structures develop and the strength increases. Various techniques have been studied based on such a strengthening mechanism with the aim of further improving the properties of titanium copper. In this case, what is problematic is that the strength and the bending workability are mutually contradictory characteristics. That is, when the strength is improved, the bending workability is impaired. On the other hand, when the bending workability is emphasized, a desired strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, a third element such as Fe, Co, Ni, or Si is added (Patent Document 1), and the concentration of the impurity element group which forms a solid solution in the parent phase is regulated, and these are added to the second phase particles (Cu—Ti— (X-based particles) are deposited in a predetermined distribution form to increase the regularity of the modulation structure (Patent Document 2), and to define the density of the trace addition element and the second phase particles effective for refining the crystal grains. From the viewpoint of (Patent Document 3) and the like, research and development for achieving both strength and bending workability of titanium copper have been conventionally performed.
 一般に、チタン銅の製造過程において第二相粒子が粗大化しすぎると、曲げ加工性が損なわれる傾向にあることが知られている。そのため、従来の最終溶体化処理においては、材料を所定の温度に加熱した後、水冷等によりできるだけ速い冷却速度で材料の冷却を行い、冷却過程での第二相粒子の析出を抑える手法が行われている。例えば特開2001-303222号公報(特許文献4)では、特性のばらつきを抑制するために、材料の熱処理後に200K(200℃)/秒以上の冷却速度で材料を速やかに冷却する例が開示されている。また、特開2002-356726号公報(特許文献5)では、曲げ加工性を損なわずに、高強度化を図るため、圧延方向に対し直角方向にW曲げ試験を行った際、所望の曲げ半径比となるチタン銅合金が開示されている。 Generally, it is known that if the second phase particles are excessively coarsened in the production process of titanium copper, bending workability tends to be impaired. Therefore, in the conventional final solution treatment, a method of heating the material to a predetermined temperature, cooling the material at a cooling rate as fast as possible by water cooling or the like, and suppressing precipitation of the second phase particles in the cooling process is performed. Have been done. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-303222 (Patent Document 4) discloses an example in which a material is rapidly cooled at a cooling rate of 200 K (200 ° C.) / Sec or more after heat treatment of the material in order to suppress variation in characteristics. ing. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-356726 (Patent Document 5), in order to increase the strength without impairing bending workability, a desired bending radius is obtained when a W bending test is performed in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction. Titanium-copper alloys are disclosed as ratios.

 一方、プレス加工でコネクタ等の電子部品を製造する場合、強度が高い材料では曲げ加工後のスプリングバックが大きくプレス後の寸法が目標寸法に収まらない問題があった。また、プレスによる歪の導入でばね限界値が低下する問題があった。そのため、溶体化後に仕上冷間圧延を行った比較的強度が低い材料にプレス加工を行い所望の寸法を得たのち、熱処理を行い強度およびばね限界値を向上させるタイプの材料(ノンミルハードン材)を用いることも考えられる。プレス後に熱処理を行うことで高い強度と導電率を有する合金としてCuにBeを添加した材料が知られており、例えばC17200(1.8~2.0質量%Be-0.2質量%以上のNi+Co、残部Cu)が、CDA(Copper Development Association)に登録されている。 On the other hand, when manufacturing electronic components such as connectors by press working, there is a problem that a material having high strength has a large springback after bending and the dimensions after press cannot be within the target dimensions. Further, there is a problem that the spring limit value is reduced by the introduction of strain by pressing. For this reason, a material having a relatively low strength, which has been subjected to finish cold rolling after solution treatment, is subjected to press working to obtain desired dimensions, and then subjected to heat treatment to improve strength and spring limit values (non-mild hardened material) ) May be used. A material obtained by adding Be to Cu as an alloy having high strength and electrical conductivity by performing heat treatment after pressing is known. For example, C17200 (1.8 to 2.0 mass% Be-0.2 mass% or more) Ni + Co and the balance Cu) are registered in CDA (Copper \ Development \ Association).
 特許文献5の請求項16にはプレス加工後に時効処理(以下、熱処理)が行われ、熱処理後の硬さが345Hv以上となるチタン銅が挙げられているが、熱処理後の寸法変化が大きく寸法安定性が劣った。特に特許文献5の表10の発明例(No.1~10、12、14~16)では熱処理後の圧延方向と平行方向の熱伸縮量は0.05%(500ppm)以上と大きかった。 Claim 16 of Patent Document 5 mentions titanium copper which is subjected to aging treatment (hereinafter, heat treatment) after press working, and has a hardness of 345 Hv or more after heat treatment.

In particular, in the invention examples (Nos. 1 to 10, 12, 14 to 16) in Table 10 of Patent Document 5, the amount of thermal expansion and contraction in the direction parallel to the rolling direction after the heat treatment was as large as 0.05% (500 ppm) or more.

 (厚み)
 製品の厚み、つまり板厚(t)は0.02~1.5mmであることが好ましい。特に板厚に制限はないが、板厚が大きすぎると、曲げ加工が困難になる。
(Thickness)
The thickness of the product, that is, the plate thickness (t), is preferably from 0.02 to 1.5 mm. The thickness is not particularly limited, but if the thickness is too large, bending becomes difficult.
 (引張強さ)
 本発明では、チタン銅板の引張強さが圧延平行方向において750MPa以上であり、下記に示す導電率を満たす場合、400℃で2時間熱処理したときに所望のばね限界値が得られる。好ましくは775MPa以上、さらに好ましくは800MPa以上とする。但し、特に上限は設けないものの、スプリングバックが過度とならずに、製品の寸法安定性を維持するという観点から、引張強さが900MPa未満であることが好ましい。一方、引張強さが750MPaより低いと、熱処理後のばね限界値が低くなり、ばね性が低下しやすい。
 なお、引張強さは、引張試験機を用いてJIS Z2241(2011)に準拠して測定する。
(Tensile strength)
In the present invention, when the tensile strength of the titanium copper plate is 750 MPa or more in the rolling parallel direction and the following electrical conductivity is satisfied, a desired spring limit value is obtained when heat-treated at 400 ° C. for 2 hours. It is preferably at least 775 MPa, more preferably at least 800 MPa. However, although there is no particular upper limit, the tensile strength is preferably less than 900 MPa from the viewpoint of maintaining the dimensional stability of the product without excessive springback. On the other hand, when the tensile strength is lower than 750 MPa, the spring limit value after the heat treatment becomes low, and the spring property tends to decrease.
The tensile strength is measured using a tensile tester according to JIS Z2241 (2011).
 (導電率)
 本発明に係るチタン銅板は、一実施形態では、上記所望とする引張強さを満たし、かつ当該チタン銅板の導電率が4.0~8.0%IACSであれば、時効析出のバランスが最適化されるという理由により、400℃で2時間熱処理したときに所望の熱伸縮率およびばね限界値が得られる。好ましくは4.0~7.0%IACS、さらに好ましくは4.0~6.0%IACSである。導電率が4.0%IACSより低くなると、引張強さが低くなりやすく、当該熱処理後のばね限界値が低くなるおそれがある。一方、導電率が8.0%IACS超だと当該熱処理後のばね限界値が低くなる傾向にある。
 なお、導電率は、JIS H 0505に準拠して測定する。
(conductivity)
In one embodiment, the titanium copper plate according to the present invention has an optimum balance of aging precipitation if the desired tensile strength is satisfied and the conductivity of the titanium copper plate is 4.0 to 8.0% IACS. For this reason, a desired thermal expansion and contraction ratio and a spring limit value can be obtained when heat treatment is performed at 400 ° C. for 2 hours. Preferably, it is 4.0 to 7.0% IACS, and more preferably, it is 4.0 to 6.0% IACS. If the conductivity is lower than 4.0% IACS, the tensile strength tends to be low, and the spring limit after the heat treatment may be low. On the other hand, if the conductivity exceeds 8.0% IACS, the spring limit value after the heat treatment tends to decrease.
The electric conductivity is measured according to JIS H 0505.
 (熱伸縮率)
 熱処理による寸法変化は熱処理後の圧延平行方向、圧延面に平行な方向であって圧延方向に対して直交する圧延直角方向、および板厚方向の熱伸縮変化のバランスによって生じるが、400℃で2時間熱処理したときに圧延平行方向の寸法変化で概ね評価できる。この圧延平行方向の熱伸縮率は、当該熱処理後の製品の寸法変化が小さく良好であるという観点から、100ppm以下が好ましく、90ppm以下がより好ましく、60ppm以下が更に好ましい。ここで、熱伸縮率を測定する際の加熱条件を400℃で2時間とした理由は、この条件で測定したときに、チタン銅板の強度が最も高くなりやすいためである。なお、熱伸縮率の下限値については、当該チタン銅板の特性の点からは制限されないが、熱伸縮率が1ppm以下になることは通常少ない。
(Thermal expansion and contraction rate)
The dimensional change due to the heat treatment is caused by the balance of the thermal expansion and contraction in the rolling parallel direction after the heat treatment, in the direction parallel to the rolling surface and in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction and at right angles to the rolling direction, and in the thickness direction. It can be generally evaluated by a dimensional change in the direction parallel to the rolling when heat-treated for a long time. The thermal expansion and contraction rate in the rolling parallel direction is preferably 100 ppm or less, more preferably 90 ppm or less, and still more preferably 60 ppm or less, from the viewpoint that the dimensional change of the product after the heat treatment is small and good. Here, the reason why the heating condition when measuring the thermal expansion and contraction rate is 400 ° C. for 2 hours is that the strength of the titanium copper plate tends to be the highest when measured under this condition. The lower limit of the thermal expansion and contraction rate is not limited in terms of the properties of the titanium copper plate, but the thermal expansion and contraction rate is usually less than 1 ppm.
 さらに、400℃で2時間熱処理したときに圧延方向に直交する圧延直角方向の寸法変化を測定して、上記圧延平行方向の熱伸縮率と圧延直角方向の熱伸縮率との和を算出する。このとき、400℃で2時間の熱処理後の圧延平行方向の熱伸縮率と圧延直角方向の熱伸縮率の和が200ppm以下であれば熱処理後の寸法安定性はさらに良好となり、150ppm以下が好ましく、100ppm以下がより好ましい。ただし、上記熱伸縮率の和は、小さければ小さいほど好ましい。 Furthermore, when heat-treated at 400 ° C. for 2 hours, the dimensional change in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction perpendicular to the rolling direction is measured, and the sum of the thermal expansion ratio in the rolling parallel direction and the thermal expansion ratio in the rolling perpendicular direction is calculated. At this time, if the sum of the thermal expansion ratio in the direction parallel to the rolling direction and the thermal expansion ratio in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction after the heat treatment at 400 ° C. for 2 hours is 200 ppm or less, the dimensional stability after the heat treatment is further improved, and 150 ppm or less is preferable. , 100 ppm or less is more preferable. However, the smaller the sum of the thermal expansion and contraction rates, the better.
 なお、熱伸縮率は以下のように測定する。
 当該チタン銅板の試験片を、試験片の長手方向が圧延方向と平行となるように採取する。また、当該チタン銅板の別の試験片を、試験片の長手方向が板厚と直交する圧延直角方向に採取する。次いで、図1に示すように、所定の間隔(L0)を空け二点の打痕を刻印する。そして、圧延平行方向および圧延直角方向の試験片を所定の条件で加熱し、加熱後の打痕間隔(L)をそれぞれ測定する。
The thermal expansion and contraction rate is measured as follows.
The test piece of the titanium copper plate is collected so that the longitudinal direction of the test piece is parallel to the rolling direction. Further, another test piece of the titanium copper plate is sampled in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction in which the longitudinal direction of the test piece is perpendicular to the plate thickness. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, two predetermined dents are formed at predetermined intervals (L 0 ). Then, the test specimens in the direction parallel to the rolling direction and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction are heated under predetermined conditions, and the dent intervals (L) after the heating are measured.
 (曲げ加工性)
 曲げ加工性の評価は幅10mm×長さ30mmの短冊状の試験片を用いて、W曲げ試験(JIS H3130(2012))により行う。試験片採取方向は、圧延方向に対して曲げ軸が平行になる方向(BW方向)とし、割れの発生しない最小曲げ半径MBR(Minimum Bend Radius)と板厚tとの比MBR/tにて評価する。この最小曲げ半径(MBR)の割合(MBR/t)は、2.0以下とすることが、良好な曲げ性を確保するとの観点から好ましい。MBR/tのさらに好適な範囲は、1.8以下である。
 なお、曲げ加工性は、JIS H 3130(2012)に準拠して測定する。
(Bendability)
The evaluation of bending workability is performed by a W bending test (JIS H3130 (2012)) using a strip-shaped test piece having a width of 10 mm and a length of 30 mm. The test piece sampling direction is a direction in which the bending axis is parallel to the rolling direction (BW direction), and evaluated by the ratio MBR / t between the minimum bending radius MBR (minimum bend radius) at which cracks do not occur and the plate thickness t. I do. It is preferable that the ratio (MBR / t) of the minimum bending radius (MBR) be 2.0 or less from the viewpoint of securing good bendability. A more preferred range of MBR / t is 1.8 or less.

 [2.チタン銅板の製造方法]
 チタン銅板の一般的な製造プロセスでは、まず溶解炉で電気銅、Ti等の原料を溶解し、所望の組成の溶湯を得る。そして、この溶湯をインゴットに鋳造する。チタンの酸化損耗を防止するため、溶解及び鋳造は真空中又は不活性ガス雰囲気中で行うことが好ましい。その後、熱間圧延、冷間圧延、溶体化処理の順で所望の厚みおよび特性を有する板に仕上げる。溶体化処理後には、熱処理時に生成した表面酸化膜を除去するために、表面の酸洗や研磨等を行ってもよい。また、高強度化のために、溶体化処理後に冷間圧延を行ってもよい。
[2. Manufacturing method of titanium copper plate]
In a general production process of a titanium copper plate, first, raw materials such as electrolytic copper and Ti are melted in a melting furnace to obtain a molten metal having a desired composition. Then, the molten metal is cast into an ingot. In order to prevent oxidation wear of titanium, melting and casting are preferably performed in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere. Thereafter, a plate having desired thickness and properties is finished in the order of hot rolling, cold rolling and solution treatment. After the solution treatment, pickling or polishing of the surface may be performed in order to remove the surface oxide film generated during the heat treatment. Further, in order to increase the strength, cold rolling may be performed after the solution treatment.
 本発明に係るチタン銅板は、特に溶体化処理、その直後の仕上圧延(温間圧延)の工程を適切な条件で実施することにより製造可能である。以下に、好適な製造例を工程毎に順次説明する。 チ タ ン The titanium copper plate according to the present invention can be manufactured by performing a solution treatment and a finish rolling (warm rolling) process immediately thereafter under appropriate conditions. Hereinafter, preferred production examples will be sequentially described for each process.
 1)インゴット製造
 溶解及び鋳造によるインゴットの製造は、基本的に真空中又は不活性ガス雰囲気中で行う。溶解において添加元素の溶け残りがあると、強度の向上に対して有効に作用しない。よって、溶け残りをなくすため、FeやCr等の高融点の第3元素は、添加してから十分に攪拌したうえで、一定時間保持する必要がある。一方、TiはCu中に比較的溶け易いので第3元素の溶解後に添加すればよい。従って、Cuに、第3元素としてFe、Co、Mg、Si、Ni、Cr、Zr、Mo、V、Nb、Mn、B、及びPよりなる群から選択される1種以上を合計で0.5質量%以下含有するように添加し、次いで第2元素としてTiを2.0~4.5質量%含有するように添加してインゴットを製造することが望ましい。但し、第3元素の添加量は、0.05質量%以上が好ましい。なお、CuにTiと第3元素とを添加する順序は、特に限定されるものではない。
1) Production of Ingot The production of an ingot by melting and casting is basically performed in a vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere. If there is any remaining undissolved element in the dissolution, it does not effectively work to improve the strength. Therefore, in order to eliminate the undissolved portion, the third element having a high melting point, such as Fe or Cr, needs to be maintained for a certain period of time after being sufficiently stirred after being added. On the other hand, since Ti is relatively easily dissolved in Cu, it may be added after the third element is dissolved. Accordingly, one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Mg, Si, Ni, Cr, Zr, Mo, V, Nb, Mn, B, and P as Cu as a third element are added in a total amount of 0.3. It is desirable to add in such a manner that it contains 5% by mass or less, and then add Ti so as to contain 2.0 to 4.5% by mass as a second element to produce an ingot. However, the addition amount of the third element is preferably 0.05% by mass or more. The order of adding Ti and the third element to Cu is not particularly limited.
 2)均質化焼鈍及び熱間圧延
 インゴット製造時に生じた凝固偏析や晶出物は粗大なので均質化焼鈍を行うことにより、できるだけ母相に固溶させて小さくし、可能な限り無くすことが望ましい。これは曲げ割れの防止に効果があるからである。具体的には、インゴット製造工程後には、材料温度900~970℃に加熱して3~24時間均質化焼鈍を行った後に、熱間圧延を実施するのが好ましい。液体金属脆性を防止するために、熱間圧延前及び熱間圧延中は材料温度960℃以下とするのが好ましい。
2) Homogenization annealing and hot rolling Since solidification segregation and crystallization generated during the production of the ingot are coarse, it is desirable that the homogenization annealing be carried out to form a solid solution in the mother phase as small as possible and to reduce as much as possible. This is because it is effective in preventing bending cracks. Specifically, after the ingot manufacturing step, it is preferable to perform hot rolling after heating to a material temperature of 900 to 970 ° C. and performing homogenizing annealing for 3 to 24 hours. In order to prevent liquid metal embrittlement, the material temperature is preferably set to 960 ° C. or lower before and during hot rolling.
 3)溶体化処理
 その後、冷間圧延と焼鈍を適宜繰り返してから、溶体化処理を行うのが好ましい。本発明においては、導電率を好適な範囲に調整して、熱処理後のばね限界値を向上させるという観点から、溶体化温度は750℃以上が好ましく、775℃以上がより好ましく、790℃以上がさらに好ましい。一方、金属組織が緻密なものとなり、引張強さが高く、曲げ加工性が良好であるという観点から、溶体化温度は900℃以下が好ましく、875℃以下がより好ましく、850℃以下がさらに好ましい。なお、このときの昇温速度は、極力速くすることが好ましい。
 また、一実施形態においては、溶体化処理を十分に行うため、溶体化時間を5秒~30分とするのが好ましく、10秒~5分とするのがより好ましい。
3) Solution treatment After that, it is preferable to perform the solution treatment after cold rolling and annealing are appropriately repeated. In the present invention, the solution temperature is preferably 750 ° C or higher, more preferably 775 ° C or higher, and more preferably 790 ° C or higher, from the viewpoint of adjusting the conductivity to a suitable range and improving the spring limit after the heat treatment. More preferred. On the other hand, from the viewpoint that the metal structure becomes dense, the tensile strength is high, and the bending workability is good, the solution temperature is preferably 900 ° C or lower, more preferably 875 ° C or lower, and further preferably 850 ° C or lower. . It is preferable that the rate of temperature rise at this time be as high as possible.
In one embodiment, in order to sufficiently perform the solution treatment, the solution treatment time is preferably 5 seconds to 30 minutes, more preferably 10 seconds to 5 minutes.
 一方で、この溶体化処理後の冷却は水冷が好ましく、好適な実施の態様において、例えば、平均冷却速度としては150℃/sec以上であることが好ましく、155℃/sec以上であることがより好ましい。平均冷却速度が150℃/sec未満であると、冷却時に析出が生じるため導電率が高くなり、熱処理後のばね限界値が低くなるおそれがある。一方、冷却速度の上限は設けないが水冷であれば必要十分な冷却速度を有する。ただし、強度上昇の効果を十分に得るという観点から、平均冷却速度が1500℃/sec以下であることが好ましい。溶体化後の導電率は2.0~5.0%IACSの範囲に調整することができる。ここで、平均冷却速度とは、冷却開始時の750℃から100℃まで冷却するのに要した時間(冷却時間)を計測し、(750-100)(℃)/冷却時間(秒)によって算出した値(℃/sec)をいう。 On the other hand, the cooling after the solution treatment is preferably water cooling, and in a preferred embodiment, for example, the average cooling rate is preferably 150 ° C./sec or more, more preferably 155 ° C./sec or more. preferable. If the average cooling rate is less than 150 ° C./sec, the conductivity will increase due to precipitation during cooling, and the spring limit after heat treatment may be reduced. On the other hand, there is no upper limit for the cooling rate, but if it is water cooled, it has a necessary and sufficient cooling rate. However, from the viewpoint of sufficiently obtaining the effect of increasing the strength, the average cooling rate is preferably 1500 ° C./sec or less. The conductivity after the solution can be adjusted in the range of 2.0 to 5.0% IACS. Here, the average cooling rate is the time required for cooling from 750 ° C. at the start of cooling to 100 ° C. (cooling time), and is calculated by (750-100) (° C.) / Cooling time (second). The value (° C./sec).
 4)仕上圧延
 溶体化処理後に温間による仕上圧延(以下、「温間圧延」ともいう。)を行う。好適な実施の態様において、温間圧延の加工度(圧下率)は、好適な熱伸縮率とする観点から、50%以下であり、40%以下が好ましく、曲げ性がさらに向上するという観点から、35%以下がより好ましい。だたし、引張強さが好適な範囲とし、熱処理後のばね限界値を上げるという観点から、15%以上であり、20%以上が好ましく、25%以上がより好ましい。なお、加工度は{((圧延前の厚み-圧延後の厚み)/圧延前の厚み)×100%}で定義される。
4) Finish rolling After the solution treatment, warm finish rolling (hereinafter, also referred to as "warm rolling") is performed. In a preferred embodiment, the working ratio (reduction ratio) of warm rolling is 50% or less, preferably 40% or less, from the viewpoint of a suitable thermal expansion and contraction ratio, and from the viewpoint of further improving bendability. , 35% or less. However, it is 15% or more, preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 25% or more, from the viewpoint of setting the tensile strength in a suitable range and increasing the spring limit after the heat treatment. The working ratio is defined by {((thickness before rolling-thickness after rolling) / thickness before rolling) × 100%}.
 また、温間圧延終了時の材料温度(以下、温間圧延温度)は250~350℃の範囲に調整することが好ましく、溶体化によって固溶したTiが温間圧延によって析出に必要な核を形成する。温間圧延の開始温度は溶体化温度より低くければ問題なく、温間圧延終了時の材料温度を制御することが重要である。 Further, the material temperature at the end of the warm rolling (hereinafter, the warm rolling temperature) is preferably adjusted within the range of 250 to 350 ° C., and Ti dissolved in the solution to form a nucleus necessary for precipitation by the warm rolling. Form. There is no problem if the starting temperature of warm rolling is lower than the solution temperature, and it is important to control the material temperature at the end of warm rolling.
 上記温間圧延温度は、圧延後の導電率が4.0%IACS以上となるので、400℃で2時間の熱処理後の圧延平行方向の熱伸縮率が100ppm以下となり、さらに、熱処理後のばね限界値が高くなるという観点から、250℃以上が好ましく、280℃以上がより好ましく、300℃以上がさらに好ましい。ただし、上記温間圧延温度は、析出の核生成が多く発生しすぎずに、Cu-Ti化合物の析出が過度に生じず、導電率が高くならずに、熱処理後のばね限界値を抑制するという観点から、350℃以下が好ましく、330℃以下がより好ましく、320℃以下がさらに好ましい。このような温間圧延温度を好適な範囲とすることで、400℃で2時間の熱処理後の圧延平行方向と、圧延面に平行な方向であって圧延方向に対して直交する圧延直角方向の熱伸縮率の和が200ppm以上となる。 As for the above-mentioned warm rolling temperature, since the conductivity after rolling is 4.0% IACS or more, the thermal expansion and contraction rate in the rolling parallel direction after heat treatment at 400 ° C. for 2 hours becomes 100 ppm or less, and the spring after heat treatment is further performed. From the viewpoint of increasing the limit value, 250 ° C. or higher is preferable, 280 ° C. or higher is more preferable, and 300 ° C. or higher is further preferable. However, the above warm rolling temperature suppresses the spring limit after heat treatment without excessively generating nucleation of precipitation, preventing excessive precipitation of the Cu-Ti compound, increasing the electrical conductivity, and not increasing the conductivity. In light of this, 350 ° C or lower is preferable, 330 ° C or lower is more preferable, and 320 ° C or lower is further preferable. By setting such a warm rolling temperature in a suitable range, the rolling parallel direction after the heat treatment at 400 ° C. for 2 hours and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction in a direction parallel to the rolling surface and orthogonal to the rolling direction. The sum of the thermal expansion and contraction is 200 ppm or more.
 温間圧延後の導電率は4.0~8.0%IACSの範囲になるように上記条件を調整することが好ましい。特に本発明を制限することはないが、プレス加工後に上記材料を熱処理することでCu-Ti化合物が析出するが、析出することによってチタン銅の格子定数が変化することが熱伸縮率に影響している可能性がある。上記温間圧延工程を行うことでプレス加工後の析出量を抑えられるため、熱伸縮量が小さくなると考えられる。 上 記 It is preferable to adjust the above conditions so that the conductivity after warm rolling is in the range of 4.0 to 8.0% IACS. Although the present invention is not particularly limited, a Cu—Ti compound is precipitated by heat-treating the above-mentioned material after press working, and the change in lattice constant of titanium copper due to the precipitation affects the thermal expansion and contraction rate. Could be. It is considered that the amount of precipitation after press working can be suppressed by performing the above-mentioned warm rolling step, so that the amount of thermal expansion and contraction is reduced.
 なお、当業者であれば、上記各工程の合間および仕上圧延後に適宜、表面の酸化スケール除去のための研削、研磨、ショットブラスト酸洗および脱脂等を行なうことができることは理解できるであろう。 It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that grinding, polishing, shot blast pickling, degreasing, etc. can be appropriately performed between the above-described steps and after the finish rolling to remove oxide scale on the surface.

For example, press working and aging are performed in this order. Pressing and aging are performed under typical conditions.

[チタン銅板の製造]
 発明例1~15及び比較例1~9のチタン銅板を製造するに際しては、活性金属であるTiが第2元素として添加されるから、溶製には真空溶解炉を用いた。また、本発明で規定した元素以外の不純物元素の混入による予想外の副作用が生じることを未然に防ぐため、原料は比較的純度の高いものを厳選して使用した。
[Manufacture of titanium copper plate]
In manufacturing the titanium copper plates of Inventive Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9, Ti as an active metal was added as a second element, so that a vacuum melting furnace was used for melting. In addition, in order to prevent unexpected side effects due to mixing of impurity elements other than the elements specified in the present invention, materials having relatively high purity were carefully selected and used.
 まず、真空溶解炉にて電気銅を溶解し、発明例1~15及び比較例1~9に応じて表1に記載のTi濃度となるようTiを添加し、場合により表1に記載の濃度で第3元素を更に添加して、残部銅及び不可避的不純物の組成を有するインゴットに対して950℃で3時間加熱する均質化焼鈍を行った後、900~950℃で熱間圧延を行い、板厚10mmの熱延板を得た。なお、表中に示される各成分の数字は質量%を示す。 First, electrolytic copper was melted in a vacuum melting furnace, and Ti was added so as to have a Ti concentration shown in Table 1 according to Invention Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9, and in some cases, a concentration shown in Table 1 was added. In addition, the third element is further added, and the ingot having the composition of the remaining copper and inevitable impurities is subjected to homogenization annealing at 950 ° C. for 3 hours, followed by hot rolling at 900 to 950 ° C. A hot-rolled sheet having a thickness of 10 mm was obtained. In addition, the number of each component shown in a table | surface shows a mass%.
 次いで、面削による脱スケール後、冷間圧延により厚さ0.25mmの板とした。その後、表1に記載の条件で溶体化処理を10分で行った後、水冷を行った。より具体的には、溶体化処理において700~1000℃に調整した電気炉に試料と熱電対を挿入し、熱電対で材料温度を測定し材料温度が700~1000℃に到達した時点で炉から取り出し、水槽(25℃)または所定の温度に保持した炉内に入れ冷却した。水冷以外の冷却速度(℃/sec)は材料温度について材料の到達温度から最終温度100℃となるまでの冷却時間から求めた。その後、酸洗による脱スケールを行った後、最終圧延として、表1に記載の加工度および終了時の材料温度になるように調整して温間圧延(板厚0.15mm)を行い、発明例1~15及び比較例1~9の各試験片を得た。 Next, after descaling by facing, a plate having a thickness of 0.25 mm was formed by cold rolling. Thereafter, a solution treatment was performed for 10 minutes under the conditions shown in Table 1, and then water cooling was performed. More specifically, the sample and the thermocouple were inserted into an electric furnace adjusted to 700 to 1000 ° C. in the solution treatment, and the material temperature was measured with the thermocouple. It was taken out, placed in a water bath (25 ° C.) or a furnace maintained at a predetermined temperature, and cooled. The cooling rate (° C./sec) other than water cooling was determined from the cooling time from the ultimate temperature of the material to the final temperature of 100 ° C. for the material temperature. Then, after descaling by pickling, warm rolling (sheet thickness 0.15 mm) was performed as final rolling by adjusting the working degree and the material temperature at the end of the process as shown in Table 1. Test pieces of Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 were obtained.

[Bendability]
The bending property of each finally obtained test piece was measured by a minimum radius (MBR) at which cracking did not occur in a Badway (bending axis is the same direction as the rolling direction) W bending test according to JIS H 3130 (2012). ) And the plate thickness (t) were evaluated by measuring the MBR / t value.
 [熱伸縮率]
 温間圧延後の材料から、幅20mm、長さ210mmの短冊形状の試験片を、試験片の長手方向が圧延方向と平行となるように採取した。また、別の試験片を、試験片の長手方向が板厚に直交する圧延直角方向に採取した。次いで、図1に示すようにL0(=200mm)の間隔を空け二点の打痕を刻印した。その後、圧延平行方向および圧延直角方向の試験片を400℃で2時間加熱し、加熱後の打痕間隔(L)をそれぞれ測定した。そして、熱伸縮率(ppm)として、(L-L0)/L0×106の式で算出される値の絶対値を求めた。さらに、圧延平行方向の熱伸縮率と圧延直角方向の熱伸縮率の和を求めた。
[Thermal expansion and contraction rate]
From the material after the warm rolling, a strip-shaped test piece having a width of 20 mm and a length of 210 mm was sampled such that the longitudinal direction of the test piece was parallel to the rolling direction. Further, another test piece was sampled in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction in which the longitudinal direction of the test piece was perpendicular to the plate thickness. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, two dents were formed at intervals of L 0 (= 200 mm). Thereafter, the test specimens in the direction parallel to the rolling direction and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction were heated at 400 ° C. for 2 hours, and the dent intervals (L) after the heating were measured. Then, the absolute value of the value calculated by the equation (L−L 0 ) / L 0 × 10 6 was determined as the thermal expansion / contraction rate (ppm). Further, the sum of the thermal expansion and contraction in the direction parallel to the rolling and the thermal expansion and contraction in the direction perpendicular to the rolling was obtained.
 [ばね限界値]
 温間圧延後の材料を400℃で2時間加熱した後、JIS H 3130(2012)に規定されているモーメント式試験により、試験片の長手方向が圧延方向と平行になるように長い短冊状の試験片(試験片幅10mm)を片持ち式に保持し、材料板厚により規定した永久たわみ量を生じさせる曲げモーメントから表面最大応力を測定し、圧延直角方向のばね限界値とした。

[Spring limit value]
After the material after the warm rolling is heated at 400 ° C. for 2 hours, a long strip-shaped test piece is subjected to a moment type test specified in JIS H 3130 (2012) so that the longitudinal direction of the test piece is parallel to the rolling direction. The test piece (test piece width: 10 mm) was held in a cantilever manner, and the surface maximum stress was measured from a bending moment that caused a permanent deflection amount specified by the material plate thickness, and was set as a spring limit value in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction.
The test conditions were as follows: material thickness t (mm), distance l (mm) from the fixed end of the material to the load point, and permanent deflection δ (mm): l 2 = 4000 t, δ = 0.1. Was.
 [寸法安定性]
 熱処理前の曲げ角度としては、曲げ割れが生じない範囲で温間圧延後の材料にW曲げ加工を行った後、曲げ加工部の実際の曲げ変形角度θを求めた。曲げ方向はGoodway(曲げ軸が圧延方向と直交する方向)で板厚(t)0.15mmの場合は曲げ条件をR/t=3.3としたが、曲げ割れが生じない範囲であれば任意の曲げRをとることができる。さらに、熱処理後の曲げ角度としては、その試験片を400℃で2時間加熱した後、上記と同様に行い、曲げ変形角度θ’を求めた。
 以上より、熱処理前後の曲げ角度変化「θ’-θ」の絶対値を算出した。表1では、この値が0.5°未満を「◎」とし、0.5°以上1.0°未満を「○」とし、1.0°以上を「×」とした。なお、「◎」は熱処理後の寸法安定性が優れ、「○」は熱処理後の寸法安定性が良好で、「×」は熱処理後の寸法安定性が悪いと判断できる。
[Dimensional stability]
As the bending angle before the heat treatment, the material after the warm rolling was subjected to W bending to the extent that bending cracks did not occur, and then the actual bending deformation angle θ of the bent portion was obtained. The bending direction is Goodway (the direction in which the bending axis is perpendicular to the rolling direction) and the thickness (t) is 0.15 mm. The bending condition is R / t = 3.3. Any bend R can be taken. Further, as the bending angle after the heat treatment, the test piece was heated at 400 ° C. for 2 hours, and then the same as above, and the bending deformation angle θ ′ was obtained.
From the above, the absolute value of the bending angle change “θ′−θ” before and after the heat treatment was calculated. In Table 1, "こ の" indicates that the value is less than 0.5 °, "O" indicates that the value is 0.5 ° or more and less than 1.0 °, and "X" indicates that the value is 1.0 ° or more. In addition, “◎” indicates that the dimensional stability after the heat treatment was excellent, “○” indicates that the dimensional stability after the heat treatment was good, and “×” indicates that the dimensional stability after the heat treatment was poor.

 上述のように、試験片として、各発明例及び各比較例のチタン銅を、表1に示す各条件下で製造したところ、表1に示す特性を有することがわかった。このように、チタン銅板の発明例1~15は、上記引張強さおよび導電率を有し、400℃で2時間熱処理後に優れたばね性および寸法安定性を有した。また、チタン銅板の発明例1~15は、上記組成のチタン銅に対して、熱間圧延、中間圧延、溶体化処理、温間による仕上圧延を上記各条件で行うことにより製造できることが分かった。
[result]
As described above, titanium copper of each invention example and each comparative example was produced as a test piece under each condition shown in Table 1, and it was found that the test piece had the properties shown in Table 1. As described above, the inventive examples 1 to 15 of the titanium copper plate had the above tensile strength and electrical conductivity, and had excellent spring properties and dimensional stability after heat treatment at 400 ° C. for 2 hours. In addition, it was found that Invention Examples 1 to 15 of the titanium copper plate can be manufactured by performing hot rolling, intermediate rolling, solution treatment, and finish rolling by warming on the titanium copper having the above composition under the above-described conditions. .
 また、発明例1、3~7、10~14では温間圧延後の仕上加工度を35%以下とすることで、ばね限界値および熱伸縮率に加えて曲げ加工性も優れていた。 発 明 In addition, in Invention Examples 1, 3 to 7, and 10 to 14, the bending workability was excellent in addition to the spring limit value and the thermal expansion and contraction rate by setting the finish working degree after warm rolling to 35% or less.
 さらに参考例として市販のCu-Be合金(C1720-1/4H(日本ガイシ製))を示すが、時効温度400℃(参考例1)およびCu-Be合金の推奨時効温度315℃(参考例2)に対して、チタン銅板の発明例1、3~5、9、10はCu-Be合金と同等のばね限界値を有した上、熱伸縮特性が大きく優れていた。 Further, as a reference example, a commercially available Cu-Be alloy (C1720- / H (manufactured by NGK)) is shown. The aging temperature is 400 ° C (Reference Example 1), and the recommended aging temperature of the Cu-Be alloy is 315 ° C (Reference Example 2). On the other hand, Invention Examples 1, 3 to 5, 9, and 10 of the titanium copper plate had a spring limit value equivalent to that of the Cu—Be alloy, and also had excellent thermal expansion and contraction characteristics.
 比較例1はTi濃度が高いため熱間加工性が著しく悪く工程を進められなかった。 Comparative Example 1 was extremely poor in hot workability due to high Ti concentration, so that the process could not proceed.
 比較例2はTi濃度が2.0%を下回ったため、温間圧延後の引張強さが低く、熱処理後のばね限界値が劣った。 In Comparative Example 2, the Ti concentration was less than 2.0%, so the tensile strength after warm rolling was low, and the spring limit after heat treatment was inferior.
 比較例3は溶体化温度が高いため、仕上圧延後の引張強さが低く、また、熱処理後の熱伸縮率が高いため、寸法変化およびばね限界値が劣った。 Comparative Example 3 was low in tensile strength after finish rolling due to high solution heat temperature, and high in thermal expansion and contraction rate after heat treatment, resulting in inferior dimensional change and spring limit value.
 比較例4は溶体化温度が低いため、温間圧延後の導電率が高く、ばね限界値が劣った。 In Comparative Example 4, since the solution heat temperature was low, the conductivity after warm rolling was high, and the spring limit value was inferior.
 比較例5は溶体化時の冷却速度が遅いため、温間圧延後の導電率が高く、ばね限界値が劣った。 Comparative Example 5 had a low cooling rate at the time of solution treatment, so the conductivity after warm rolling was high, and the spring limit value was inferior.
 比較例6は温間による温間圧延加工度が高いため、熱処理後の熱伸縮率が高くなり、寸法安定性が悪化した。 Comparative Example 6 had a high degree of warm rolling in the warm state, so the thermal expansion and contraction rate after heat treatment was high, and the dimensional stability was poor.
 比較例7は温間による温間圧延加工度が低いため、引張強さが低く、熱処理後のばね限界値が劣った。 Comparative Example 7 had a low degree of warm rolling due to warmness, and therefore had a low tensile strength and an inferior spring limit after heat treatment.
 比較例8は温間圧延温度が高いため、温間圧延後の導電率が高く、熱処理後のばね限界値が劣った。 Comparative Example 8 had a high warm rolling temperature, so the conductivity after warm rolling was high, and the spring limit after heat treatment was poor.
 比較例9は温間圧延温度が低く、温間圧延後の導電率が低かったため、熱処理後の熱伸縮率が高いことから寸法安定性が悪化し、また、熱処理時の析出の核が少ないため、ばね限界値が劣った。 In Comparative Example 9, the warm rolling temperature was low, the conductivity after warm rolling was low, and the dimensional stability was deteriorated because the thermal expansion and contraction rate after heat treatment was high, and the number of precipitation nuclei during heat treatment was small. , The spring limit was inferior.
