 この発明は、摺動部材に用いる、鉛を主な成分として含有しない摺動部材用銅合金に関する。 The present invention relates to a copper alloy for sliding members that does not contain lead as a main component.
 従来から使用されていた銅合金は、摺動性や切削性を向上させるために鉛が一定量含有されており、摺動部材としてはCAC603等が使用されていた。しかしながら近年ではRoHS指令やその他環境に配慮することが求められていることから、鉛の使用量を低減、もしくは鉛を使用しない銅合金が開発されてきている。 Copper alloys that have been used conventionally contain a certain amount of lead to improve sliding and cutting properties, and CAC603 and the like have been used as sliding members. However, in recent years, due to the RoHS Directive and other environmental considerations, copper alloys that use less lead or do not use lead have been developed.
 例えば、特許文献1には摺動部材用銅合金として、実施例においてスズを5.14質量%以上15.54質量%以下、硫黄を0.42質量%以上1.04質量%以下、鉄を0.31質量%以上3.43質量%以下、リンを0.012質量%以上0.033質量%以下含有し、残部が銅と不可避的不純物である摺動部材用銅合金が記載されている。 For example, in Patent Document 1, as a copper alloy for sliding members, tin is 5.14% by mass or more and 15.54% by mass or less, sulfur is 0.42% by mass or more and 1.04% by mass or less, and iron is A copper alloy for sliding members is described that contains 0.31% by mass or more and 3.43% by mass or less of phosphorus, 0.012% by mass or more and 0.033% by mass or less, and the balance is copper and unavoidable impurities. .
 また、特許文献2には被削性を向上させた銅合金として、スズ、リン、硫黄を含有し、残部が銅及び不可避的不純物からなる銅合金展伸材であって、前記展伸材の長手方向に 垂直な断面(横断面)において、平均直径0.1~10μmの硫化物を分散含有し、該硫化物の面積率が0.1~10%である銅合金展伸材が記載されている。 Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a copper alloy with improved machinability, which contains tin, phosphorus, and sulfur, and the remainder is copper and unavoidable impurities. A wrought copper alloy material is described that contains dispersed sulfides with an average diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (cross section), and the area ratio of the sulfides is 0.1 to 10%. ing.

 しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の銅合金では、鉄の含有量が規定よりも少ない場合に摺動性が不十分となる問題があった。 However, the copper alloy described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that sliding properties are insufficient when the iron content is less than the specified value.
 また、特許文献2では、鉄以外のスズ、硫黄、リンを含有した銅合金における被削性の効果は記載されているが、摺動性についての記載はない。一般的に被削性が良い切削加工に適した銅合金は、摺動用には適さないとされている。 Further, Patent Document 2 describes the machinability effect of a copper alloy containing tin, sulfur, and phosphorus other than iron, but does not describe the sliding property. Generally speaking, copper alloys with good machinability and suitable for cutting are not suitable for sliding applications.
 さらに、鉄の含有量が多い銅合金は鋳造欠陥が発生しやすく、鋳造により銅合金を生産する場合に不良品が多く発生する問題があった。 Furthermore, copper alloys with a high content of iron are prone to casting defects, and when copper alloys are produced by casting, there is a problem in that many defective products are produced.
 そこで本発明は、主成分がスズ、硫黄、鉄、リンである摺動部材用銅合金において、鉄が含有しない、もしくは含有量が少ない場合においても、従来技術と同等以上の摺動性を有する摺動部材用銅合金を提供すること、及び摺動性と良好な鋳造性とを有する摺動部材用銅合金を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention provides a copper alloy for sliding members whose main components are tin, sulfur, iron, and phosphorus, which has sliding properties equivalent to or better than the conventional technology even when iron is not contained or the iron content is small. It is an object of the present invention to provide a copper alloy for sliding members, and to provide a copper alloy for sliding members that has sliding properties and good castability.
 上記の課題を解決するために、本発明にかかる摺動部材用銅合金は、スズを3.0質量%以上16.0質量%以下、硫黄を0.3質量%以上1.0質量%以下、鉄を0.3質量%未満、リンを0.04質量%以上0.5質量%以下含有し、残部が銅と不可避的不純物である第一の実施形態であることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, the copper alloy for sliding members according to the present invention contains 3.0% by mass or more and 16.0% by mass or less of tin and 0.3% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less of sulfur. The first embodiment is characterized in that it contains less than 0.3% by mass of iron, 0.04% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less of phosphorus, and the balance is copper and unavoidable impurities.
 また、本発明にかかる摺動部材用銅合金は、第一の実施形態をさらに限定するスズを6.0質量%以上15.0質量%以下、鉄を0.005質量%以上0.3質量%未満含有する第二の実施形態を選択できる。 Further, the copper alloy for sliding members according to the present invention further limits the first embodiment by containing 6.0% by mass or more and 15.0% by mass or less of tin and 0.005% by mass or more and 0.3% by mass of iron. A second embodiment containing less than % can be selected.
 さらに、本発明にかかる摺動部材用銅合金は、第一の実施形態をさらに限定するスズを9.0質量%以上11.0質量%以下、硫黄を0.5質量%以上1.0質量%以下、鉄を0.005質量%以上0.05質量%未満含有する第三の実施形態を選択できる。 Furthermore, the copper alloy for a sliding member according to the present invention further limits the first embodiment by containing 9.0% by mass or more and 11.0% by mass of tin and 0.5% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass of sulfur. % or less, a third embodiment containing iron in an amount of 0.005% by mass or more and less than 0.05% by mass can be selected.
 本発明としては、第一から第三の実施形態のいずれかの摺動部材用銅合金による鋳造体を選択できる。 In the present invention, a cast body made of a copper alloy for a sliding member according to any one of the first to third embodiments can be selected.
 本発明としては、第一から第三の実施形態のいずれかの摺動部材用銅合金による鋳造体からなる摺動部材を選択できる。 In the present invention, a sliding member made of a cast body made of a copper alloy for sliding members according to any one of the first to third embodiments can be selected.
 本発明にかかる摺動部材製造方法は、スズを3.0質量%以上16.0質量%以下、硫黄を0.3質量%以上1.0質量%以下、鉄を0.07質量%未満、リンを0.04質量%以上0.5質量%以下含有した銅合金成分となるように溶解し、鋳造することで摺動部材を製造する方法であることを特徴とする。 The method for manufacturing a sliding member according to the present invention includes tin of 3.0% by mass or more and 16.0% by mass or less, sulfur of 0.3% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less, and iron less than 0.07% by mass. The method is characterized in that a sliding member is manufactured by melting and casting a copper alloy component containing 0.04% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less of phosphorus.
 さらに、本発明にかかる摺動部材製造方法は、スズを6.0質量%以上15.0質量%以下、鉄を0.005質量%以上0.05質量%未満含有する実施形態を選択できる。 Further, in the sliding member manufacturing method according to the present invention, an embodiment can be selected in which tin is contained in a range of 6.0% by mass to 15.0% by mass, and iron is contained in a range of 0.005% by mass to less than 0.05% by mass.

 以下に、本発明にかかる摺動部材用銅合金について説明する。本摺動部材用銅合金はスズ、硫黄、鉄、リンを所定量含有し、残部が銅と不可避的不純物とからなる銅合金である。 Below, the copper alloy for sliding members according to the present invention will be explained. This copper alloy for sliding members contains tin, sulfur, iron, and phosphorus in predetermined amounts, with the remainder consisting of copper and inevitable impurities.
 上記銅合金は、スズを3.0質量%以上含むことが必要である。スズは銅合金のマトリックス強度を向上させ、耐摩耗性を向上させ、かつ、摺動特性を良好に保つ効果があるが、3.0質量%未満であると、これらの効果が不十分となってしまう。一方で、スズの含有量は16.0質量%以下であることが必要である。16.0質量%を超えると、相手材を著しく摩耗させてしまい、良好な摺動特性が得られない可能性がある。さらに銅合金の強度、伸び、耐摩耗性に関する硬さや摩耗量といった摺動部材に求められる特性についてバランスの良い銅合金とするため、スズの含有量は6.0質量%以上15.0質量%以下であると好ましく、9.0質量%以上11.0質量%以下であるとより好ましい。 The above copper alloy needs to contain 3.0% by mass or more of tin. Tin has the effect of improving the matrix strength of the copper alloy, improving wear resistance, and maintaining good sliding properties, but if it is less than 3.0% by mass, these effects will be insufficient. It ends up. On the other hand, the tin content needs to be 16.0% by mass or less. If it exceeds 16.0% by mass, the mating material will be significantly worn, and good sliding characteristics may not be obtained. Furthermore, in order to create a copper alloy with well-balanced characteristics required for sliding members such as strength, elongation, hardness related to wear resistance, and amount of wear, the tin content is 6.0% by mass or more and 15.0% by mass. It is preferably below, and more preferably 9.0% by mass or more and 11.0% by mass or less.
 上記銅合金は、硫黄を0.3質量%以上含むことが必要である。硫黄は銅、鉄、又はそれらの両方と反応して硫化物を形成する。この硫化物は、固体潤滑性を有しており、摩擦係数を低下させ、なじみを良好にし、摺動状態において良好な摺動特性を付与するものとなる。硫黄が0.3質量%未満であると、これらの効果が得られないか、又は不十分となってしまい、0.5質量%以上であることが好ましい。一方で、硫黄の含有量は3.0質量%以下であることが必要である。3.0質量%を超えると硫黄が強度を低下させるおそれが高くなってしまうからである。さらに、十分な摺動性能を発揮させるためには、硫黄の含有量は1.0質量%以下であると好ましく、0.7質量%以下であるとより好ましい。 The above copper alloy needs to contain 0.3% by mass or more of sulfur. Sulfur reacts with copper, iron, or both to form sulfides. This sulfide has solid lubricating properties, lowers the coefficient of friction, improves conformability, and provides good sliding characteristics in sliding conditions. If the sulfur content is less than 0.3% by mass, these effects will not be obtained or will be insufficient, so it is preferably 0.5% by mass or more. On the other hand, the sulfur content needs to be 3.0% by mass or less. This is because if the content exceeds 3.0% by mass, there is a high possibility that sulfur will reduce the strength. Furthermore, in order to exhibit sufficient sliding performance, the sulfur content is preferably 1.0% by mass or less, more preferably 0.7% by mass or less.
 上記銅合金は、鉄を0.3質量%未満含むことが必要である。鉄の含有量が0.3質量%以上であると、上記銅合金の硬度が上がりすぎてしまい、摺動部材として用いたときに、相手材を攻撃して摩耗させてしまうおそれが高くなること、もしくは伸びが低下することで製品の性能が低下することである。一方、鉄の成分が少ないほど耐摩耗性は悪化する傾向にある。鉄は、硫黄とともに、上記銅合金の摺動性を向上させるFe-S系化合物を形成することから、必要な摺動性を確保するために必要な量のFe-S系化合物が形成されるには、鉄が含有されていたほうが良いためである。よって、硬度、摺動性のバランスの良い銅合金とするためには、鉄の含有量は0.005質量%以上0.3質量%未満であると好ましく、0.005質量%以上0.05質量%以下であるとより好ましい。 The above copper alloy needs to contain less than 0.3% by mass of iron. If the iron content is 0.3% by mass or more, the hardness of the copper alloy will increase too much, and when used as a sliding member, there is a high risk that it will attack and wear out the mating material. Or, the performance of the product decreases due to a decrease in elongation. On the other hand, the wear resistance tends to deteriorate as the iron content decreases. Iron, together with sulfur, forms Fe-S compounds that improve the sliding properties of the copper alloy, so the necessary amount of Fe-S compounds is formed to ensure the necessary sliding properties. This is because it is better for the metal to contain iron. Therefore, in order to obtain a copper alloy with a good balance of hardness and sliding properties, the iron content is preferably 0.005% by mass or more and less than 0.3% by mass, and 0.005% by mass or more and less than 0.05% by mass. More preferably, it is less than % by mass.
 また上記銅合金は、鋳造性の観点からも鉄を0.3質量%未満含むことが必要である。鉄の含有量が0.3質量%以上であると鋳造後の製品に鋳造欠陥が存在するおそれが高くなるためである。また、十分な鋳造性を有するためには、鉄の含有量は0.07質量%以下であると好ましい。 Furthermore, the above copper alloy needs to contain less than 0.3% by mass of iron from the viewpoint of castability. This is because if the iron content is 0.3% by mass or more, there is a high possibility that casting defects will exist in the product after casting. Further, in order to have sufficient castability, the iron content is preferably 0.07% by mass or less.
 上記銅合金は、リンを0.04質量%以上含むことが必要である。リンは、銅との間にCu-P化合物を形成して、銅合金全体の硬度を増加させる効果がある。この発明にかかる銅合金では、鉄の成分を少なくしても、リンを上記の範囲で含むことにより、摺動性を確保することができる。一方で、リンの含有量は0.5質量%以下である必要がある。0.5質量%を超えてリンが存在すると、銅合金全体の硬度が増加しすぎてしまい、耐焼き付き性が低下してしまうためである。 The above copper alloy needs to contain 0.04% by mass or more of phosphorus. Phosphorus forms a Cu--P compound with copper and has the effect of increasing the hardness of the entire copper alloy. In the copper alloy according to the present invention, even if the iron content is reduced, sliding properties can be ensured by containing phosphorus within the above range. On the other hand, the phosphorus content needs to be 0.5% by mass or less. This is because if phosphorus is present in an amount exceeding 0.5% by mass, the hardness of the entire copper alloy will increase too much and the seizure resistance will decrease.
 上記銅合金は、上記の元素以外は銅と不可避的不純物であるとよい。上記不可避的不純物として含有される元素の含有量は少ないほど好ましく、検出限界以下であるとより好ましい。このような元素としては、例えばモリブデン、ニッケルなどが挙げられる。 It is preferable that the above-mentioned copper alloy contains copper and inevitable impurities other than the above-mentioned elements.

 上記熱処理後の鋳造銅合金について、機械加工により、外径70mm、厚さ6mmのディスクを用意した。なお、摩擦面は#80耐水ペーパー仕上げとした。
(Wear amount confirmation test)
A disk having an outer diameter of 70 mm and a thickness of 6 mm was prepared by machining the cast copper alloy after the above heat treatment. The friction surface was finished with #80 waterproof paper.
 次に、作製した各実施例のディスク摩擦面に対して、摩擦試験機(UMT-TriboLab、Bruker製)を用いて摩擦試験を実施した。摩擦試験は、高酸素クロム軸受鋼(SUJ2)製である直径10mmのボールをディスクに接触させ、接触面に荷重10Nとなるようにボールを押圧しながら、ボールを20mm/sの摩擦速度で15分間、振幅を2mm(±1mm)として往復させた。摩擦試験後に3D形状測定機(VR-5200、株式会社キーエンス製)を用い、ディスク摩擦面における摩耗部の幅及び深さから摩耗量を算出した。 Next, a friction test was performed on the disk friction surface of each of the produced Examples using a friction tester (UMT-TriboLab, manufactured by Bruker).

 表1に示すように、実施例1~8は各成分の含有量が本発明の範囲内であることから、摺動部材として用いるために必要な引張強さ、伸び、硬さ、及び耐摩耗性について良好な性能を有していることがわかる。特に実施例2、7、及び8より、リンの含有量が特許文献1の実施例に記載される量よりも多い0.04質量%以上であれば、鉄の含有量が0.05質量%未満であっても非常に良好な性能を有していることがわかる。 As shown in Table 1, Examples 1 to 8 have the content of each component within the range of the present invention, and therefore have the necessary tensile strength, elongation, hardness, and wear resistance for use as a sliding member. It can be seen that it has good performance in terms of properties. In particular, from Examples 2, 7, and 8, if the phosphorus content is 0.04% by mass or more, which is higher than the amount described in the example of Patent Document 1, the iron content is 0.05% by mass. It can be seen that even if the value is less than 1, the performance is very good.
 比較例1は鉄の含有量が本発明の範囲よりも多いことから、伸びの性能が低下している。また、比較例2ではスズの含有量が本発明の範囲よりも少なく、比較例3では反対に多いことから、それぞれ硬さの性能、伸びと硬さの性能が低下している。さらに比較例4では、硫黄の含有量が本発明の範囲よりも少なく、比較例5では反対に多いことから、それぞれ耐摩耗性、引張強さと伸びの性能が低下している。 In Comparative Example 1, the iron content was higher than the range of the present invention, so the elongation performance was decreased. Further, in Comparative Example 2, the tin content is lower than the range of the present invention, and in Comparative Example 3, it is higher than the range of the present invention, so that the hardness performance, elongation, and hardness performance are respectively lowered. Further, in Comparative Example 4, the sulfur content was lower than the range of the present invention, and in Comparative Example 5, it was higher than the range of the present invention, so that the performance of abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and elongation was decreased.
(鋳造性試験)
 鋳造後の成分が、表2に記載の実施例及び比較例の各成分の質量%と、残部が銅と不可避的不純物となるように調整した原料を、上記引張試験と同様の溶解、鋳造、加工工程により引張試験片を作製し、その後同様の条件で引張試験を行った。引張試験後の破断面を観察することより評価を行った。
(Castability test)
The raw materials were adjusted so that the components after casting were the mass % of each component of the examples and comparative examples listed in Table 2, and the remainder was copper and unavoidable impurities. A tensile test piece was prepared through the processing process, and then a tensile test was conducted under the same conditions. Evaluation was performed by observing the fracture surface after the tensile test.

 表2に示すように、実施例9および10は鉄の含有量が本発明の範囲内であるが、比較例6は鉄の含有量が本発明の範囲よりも多い。その結果図1A,Bに示すように実施例9,10では鋳造欠陥は存在せず良好な鋳造性を有しているが、比較例6では図1Cに示すように鋳造欠陥が存在し鋳造性が劣ることがわかる。 As shown in Table 2, Examples 9 and 10 have an iron content within the range of the present invention, but Comparative Example 6 has an iron content higher than the range of the present invention. As a result, as shown in Fig. 1A and B, Examples 9 and 10 had no casting defects and had good castability, but Comparative Example 6 had casting defects as shown in Fig. 1C, and had good castability. It turns out that it is inferior.
 このように、主成分がスズ、硫黄、鉄、リンである摺動部材用銅合金において、鉄とリンの含有量を調整、すなわち鉄を含有しないもしくは従来技術よりも鉄の含有量を低減する一方、リンの含有量を増加することによって、従来技術と同等以上の摺動性を有する摺動部材用銅合金を実現することができる。また、鉄の含有量を低減することで、良好な摺動部材用鋳造銅合金を実現することができる。 In this way, in a copper alloy for sliding parts whose main components are tin, sulfur, iron, and phosphorus, the content of iron and phosphorus is adjusted, that is, it does not contain iron or the iron content is reduced compared to conventional technology. On the other hand, by increasing the phosphorus content, it is possible to realize a copper alloy for sliding members that has sliding properties equivalent to or better than those of the conventional technology. Moreover, by reducing the iron content, a good cast copper alloy for sliding members can be realized.
