When the conventional copper conductor is replaced with aluminum, the specific gravity of copper is 8.89, the specific gravity of aluminum is 2.70, and the conductivity of pure copper is 100% IACS. Since the conductivity of pure aluminum 1060 in this case is 61% IACS or more, when the conductor has the same electric resistance as copper, the cross-sectional area increases to 160% of copper but increases to 50% and the weight decreases significantly. I do. Also,
The cross-sectional area of a conductor with the same current capacity as copper is 125%

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A conductor for automobiles has
When pure Al or an Al alloy is used in place of the copper conductor, pure Al has a high electrical conductivity of 61% IACS or more, but low mechanical strength, and alloys 6063 and 6061 have relatively high mechanical strength but high electrical conductivity. The rate is low at less than 55% IACS. Therefore, as a conductor made of an Al alloy for automobiles, 610 is used as described above.
One alloy equivalent material is considered to be appropriate in terms of strength and electrical conductivity (55% IACS or more), but it is necessary to consider several points depending on the application for automobiles.

That is, when the above-mentioned Al alloy material is applied to an application for automobiles, the temperature rise during energization (for example, 100
℃) and its temperature decreases, and it is used for a long time, so the material of the bolted part is not easily deformed, that is, the creep resistance is equal to or higher than that of the conventional copper material. It is necessary to satisfy requirements such as being excellent, having good corrosion resistance in the connection portion and other portions other than the connection portion, and having good electrical characteristics (contact resistance) of the connection portion. Therefore, it is desirable that the Al alloy material for electric conductivity has a creep resistance at a high temperature equal to or higher than that of a conventional copper material and has an electric conductivity as high as possible (55% IACS or more). In addition, when the conductor is required to have particularly corrosion resistance or the like depending on the use environment, it is necessary to solve the problem by performing a preferable surface treatment on the Al alloy material. An object of the present invention is to provide an Al alloy automotive conductor that is not easily deformed by heat generation during energization, that is, has good creep resistance, and does not reduce conductivity under a stress load due to bolt tightening. Another object of the present invention is to find a preferable surface treatment method for an Al alloy conductor particularly when corrosion resistance or the like is required.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, with respect to each of the above-mentioned inventions, the structure, operation, effects and specific embodiments are described.
This will be described in detail. (1) The invention according to claim 1 is an Al alloy-made automobile conductor, which is an Al alloy having a predetermined alloy composition as described above, and is used as a predetermined heat treatment material. By doing so, the creep resistance (high temperature strength) is maintained at a level higher than that of the conventional pure Cu material or 6101 alloy material while maintaining the predetermined formability (bending workability, etc.) and conductivity (55% IACS or more). can do. The reason for limiting the invention of claim 1 as described above is as follows. The elements Si and Mg in the Al alloy serve to increase the material strength and prevent deformation when used as a conductive material. Si, M
One of the effects of increasing the material strength due to g is solid solution hardening by mainly dissolving in an aluminum matrix. When added below the lower limit of each component range, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained because the amount of solid solution is small, and when added beyond the upper limit of the component range, the conductivity is reduced and the conductive material is used. Performance is reduced. Si and Mg are M
It precipitates finely as g 2 Si particles and has the effect of precipitation hardening. If each of Si and Mg is less than the specified value, Mg 2 S
Precipitation of i-particles is small and sufficient strength cannot be obtained. Also,
If too much is added, the size of the Mg 2 Si particles becomes large and the formability is reduced.

It contains a predetermined amount of Fe and Cu in addition to Mg. Fe forms an intermetallic compound with Al and improves the strength of the material by dispersion strengthening. When the amount is small, the effect cannot be obtained, and when the amount is large, the moldability decreases. In addition, the finely precipitated intermetallic compounds stabilize the sub-crystal grain structure and the recrystallized grain structure, and improve the creep resistance by inhibiting the recovery of strain in the structure due to heat generation during energization. Although Cu strengthens the material by forming a solid solution in the aluminum matrix, Cu improves the creep resistance of the material during energization. When the amount is less than the lower limit of the component range, the effect is not sufficiently exhibited, and when the amount exceeds the upper limit, the moldability decreases.

The plating is particularly for securing the electrical characteristics of the connection part. In the present invention, the thickness of the Ni plating is 3 to 10

(4) The rectangular material or the plate material, which is the material of the conductor, can be manufactured by rolling or extruding an AL alloy. Hereinafter, this preferred manufacturing method will be described in detail. First, when the above-mentioned Al alloy material is manufactured by rolling, an Al alloy ingot having the above-described alloy composition is manufactured by a normal method such as a semi-continuous casting method, and this is held at a temperature of 500 to 540 ° C. Post-hot rolling is performed, and then cold rolling is performed to a predetermined plate thickness. At that time, the temperature is kept at 500 ° C. or higher before the cold rolling, during the cold rolling, or after the cold rolling. After that, cooling (cooling at a cooling rate of 1 ° C./sec or more up to 200 ° C.) [solution treatment]. Subsequently, predetermined cold rolling is performed as necessary, and finally, a heat treatment of artificial age hardening maintained at 150 to 250 ° C. is performed. In other words, the above-mentioned manufacturing method is a step of hot rolling or cold rolling → solution treatment (quenching) → cold rolling → artificial age hardening (T8 treatment) or hot rolling or cold rolling. Rolling → solution treatment (quenching) → artificial age hardening process (T6

The reason why the ingot is maintained at a temperature of 500 to 540 ° C. before hot rolling is to increase the amount of added elements in solid solution.
If the temperature is lower than 500 ° C., the solid solution is not sufficiently formed. If the temperature exceeds 540 ° C., the ingot may be partially melted.
Further, the temperature is maintained at 500 ° C. or more before cold rolling, during cold rolling or after cold rolling, and then cooled (200 ° C.).
Cooling at a cooling rate of 1 ° C./sec or more until
This is because, even when the holding temperature is less than 500 ° C. and the cooling rate is less than 1 ° C./sec, the solid solution of the added element becomes insufficient. The subsequent holding at 150 to 250 ° C. is for the purpose of further improving the strength of the conductive material by causing the Mg, Si, and Cu component elements excessively dissolved to precipitate out as Mg 2 Si and Cu compounds. If the treatment temperature is lower than 150 ° C., sufficient strength cannot be obtained due to insufficient precipitation, and if it exceeds 250 ° C., coarse precipitates are generated, and sufficient strength cannot be obtained. Therefore,
For the production of the Al alloy material according to the present invention by rolling, it is preferable to employ the above-described production method.
