2. Description of the Related Art Iridium and alloys containing iridium as a main component (iridium-platinum alloy, iridium-rhodium alloy, etc.) have been conventionally used as crucibles and insoluble electrodes because of their high melting point, high hardness and high corrosion resistance. . In recent years, it has been noted that it has unique properties with respect to its oxidation resistance and electrical properties, and its use in other fields is also being studied in the future. Examples of recent applications of iridium alloys include electrodes for spark plugs for internal combustion engines of automobiles, pin tips of dot printers, and the like. In this way, the range of application of iridium alloys is expanding, for example, in the case of spark plug electrodes, because iridium has a high melting point among platinum group metals, there is little volatilization loss and excellent spark oxidation resistance. It is based on that.

Since iridium and iridium alloys are high melting point materials (the melting point of iridium is 2400 ° C. or higher) and are relatively brittle at room temperature and difficult to process, hot working is applied. Is normal. This also applies to the drawing process, and the conventional iridium alloy drawing process is carried out at a high temperature of about 1300 ° C. FIG. 6 schematically shows a conventional iridium alloy wire rod drawing process. The iridium wire 1 which is the work piece is coated with the lubricant 6 before being processed and heated by the flame 9 of the burner 8. The heated wire rod passes through the die 3 to become a wire rod having a smaller wire diameter. Then, when it is desired to reduce the wire diameter of the wire rod for processing, this step is repeated. This conventional drawing process is a widely used method because the wire can be heated to a predetermined processing temperature by a simple heating means such as heating with a burner.

The iridium alloy wire rod manufactured as described above is free from defects such as scratches, wrinkles, cracks, and structural nonuniformity, and has a constant wire diameter. Although required, this quality standard has become increasingly stringent in recent years. For example, although there are remarkable improvements in the performance of automobile engines in recent years, a highly reliable spark plug is indispensable for improving the performance of the engine. And, even if the electrode having a crack has a minute defect, it becomes a factor of destabilizing the discharge characteristics,
The life of the wire may be shortened more than expected, and the reliability of the wire may be reduced. Therefore, a wire having no defects is required.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor first decided to optimize the processing conditions when hot drawing iridium. Generally, as conditions for material processing, selection of processing temperature and processing rate (area reduction rate in drawing) is important. In this respect, in the case of iridium, the processing temperature is conventionally set to a high temperature in consideration of the melting point and the toughness at room temperature as described above.
Therefore, the inventors of the present invention first examined the change in the state of the work material depending on the processing temperature in the iridium drawing process, and obtained the following findings.

FIG. 1 shows the fracture state of the iridium alloy drawn at room temperature and high temperature. First, when the low temperature (normal temperature) processing is performed, FIG.
As described above, the iridium alloy wire rod is fractured, but the fracture at this time occurs in the die. The cause of fracture at room temperature is that the plastic working resistance of the wire in the die becomes larger than the tensile force of the wire near the die exit. In this case, by heating the wire to soften the wire, the plastic working resistance can be reduced and the occurrence of breakage can be prevented.

On the other hand, even if the working temperature is high, the wire may be broken. The fracture at this time is shown in Fig. 1 (b).
As described above, it occurs not through the inside of the die but after passing through the die.However, this does not cause breakage in the die due to the reduction in processing resistance due to heating, but the material strength after passing through the die is the tensile force. It is because it is smaller than. And as a factor of this material strength reduction, recrystallization occurs in the material by heating to a high temperature,
It is considered that the grain boundary strength is reduced and embrittlement is caused by factors such as crystal grain growth and segregation of impurities in the grain boundaries, and as a result, the strength of the entire material is reduced.

Considering the above-mentioned behavior at the time of drawing at a low temperature and a high temperature, heating is necessary in the drawing of an iridium alloy, but the temperature must be within a range where recrystallization does not occur. That is, it is considered that the processable temperature of the iridium alloy has a predetermined range (processable region), and there is an upper limit and a lower limit forming this range.

On the other hand, the temperature range in which processing is possible is not fixed uniformly, but it is considered that it varies depending on the processing rate. That is, since the working resistance increases as the working rate increases, it is considered that the lower limit of the working temperature shifts to the high temperature side as the working rate rises, as shown in FIG. 2 (line in FIG. 2). On the other hand, regarding the upper limit value, it is considered that the recrystallization temperature decreases due to the increase in the processing rate, and the upper limit value also decreases in connection with this (the line in FIG. 2).

As described above, in the drawing process of the iridium wire, there is a temperature range in which the wire can be processed in accordance with the processing rate, and this temperature range fluctuates. On the other hand, the machinable region merely indicates whether or not machining can be performed without causing breakage, and does not indicate a range in which a high-quality wire rod having no defect can be machined. That is, it is considered that at a processing temperature near the lower limit value, there is a region in which microcracks occur although no fracture occurs due to the relationship between processing resistance and material strength.
Further, at the processing temperature near the upper limit value, the above-mentioned recrystallization appears not only inside the material but also on the surface, which causes the material surface to become rough. Therefore, regarding the upper limit of the processing temperature, it is necessary to consider the recrystallization temperature which changes due to the change of the processing rate. Therefore, it can be said that there is a quality assurance area for ensuring good quality in the machinable area.

FIG. 3 shows the quality assurance region derived from the workable temperature and the defect generation temperature. The inventors of the present invention assume that a wire rod having no defects can be manufactured by processing under the conditions within this quality assurance region.

FIG. 4 shows the quality assurance area defined by the equations 4 to 6 of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the upper limit of the processable temperature corresponds to the equation 4, the surface roughness occurrence temperature line corresponds to the equation 5, and the crack occurrence temperature line corresponds to the equation 6. Since it has been clarified by the present inventors that the lower limit line of processable temperature does not intersect at a cross-section reduction rate lower than the intersection point of the equations 4 and 6, the lower limit line of processable temperature is the quality assurance region. Is not specified. According to the inventor of the present invention, the conventional conditions for processing by burner heating are indicated by the temperature and the processing rate in the vicinity of point a in FIG.

According to the present invention, by setting the working temperature in an appropriate range in relation to the working rate, it becomes possible to carry out drawing work of a high-quality wire rod. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform the processing at the maximum processing rate (the intersection of the equations 4 and 6 and is about 30%), which is excellent in the cross-sectional reduction effect by one-time machining and is efficient. It can be processed. As described above, in order to manufacture a wire rod having a desired wire diameter as described above, the drawing process is repeated a plurality of times, but according to the present invention, the processing rate per time is set to the maximum. As a result, the number of processing passes can be minimized.

By the way, when a wire having a small diameter is manufactured by repeating the working a plurality of times, it may be necessary to perform intermediate annealing between the working passes depending on the material to be worked.
This is because work hardening sometimes progresses by repeating drawing several times and material cracks may occur, so by intermediate annealing after several passes of processing, a recovery phenomenon occurs in the material and it becomes possible to work again. It is a thing. The intermediate annealing needs to be performed more frequently as the heating temperature at the time of drawing is lower. However, frequent execution of the intermediate annealing process increases the total processing time. Therefore, as a more preferable range of the processing temperature in the present invention,
It is preferable to set the region above the line of T = 750, that is, the temperature range in which recrystallization does not occur at 750 ° C. or higher. This is because the number of times the intermediate annealing is performed can be reduced as much as possible by setting such a range. The necessity of this intermediate annealing and the annealing temperature differ depending on the alloy type because the work hardening behavior and the recovery behavior differ depending on the alloy type. For example, the iridium-platinum alloy requires intermediate annealing at 1000 ° C to 1100 ° C, and the iridium-rhodium alloy may also require intermediate annealing at 900 ° C to 1000 ° C depending on the case.

The processing speed (drawing speed) in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the processing speed for conventional burner heating is 0.5
Although it is ~ 1.0 m / min, it is possible to process at this speed in the present invention as well, but since the processing conditions are optimized, processing at a higher speed than the conventional processing speed is also possible. And the preferable processing speed is 1.0 to 3.0 m / min.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the temperature at the time of drawing is set lower than before, and the lower limit is preferably about 75.
Since it is set to 0 ° C., it is characterized in that it is processed in a relatively narrow temperature range. Therefore, in the present invention, it is important to properly control the processing temperature.
On the other hand, with the flame of the burner used in the conventional drawing process, the processing temperature becomes too high, and it is difficult to control in the temperature range targeted by the present invention. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention can set the heating temperature lower than the conventional one, and as a method of easily controlling the heating temperature, that is, an electric heating method, that is, heating the wire rod by passing an electric current through the wire rod to be processed. It is preferable to do this.

This heating method uses resistance heat generated by passing an electric current through the wire as a heat source for processing.
The wire temperature at this time can be set by adjusting the applied current. Therefore, according to this energization heating method, the processing temperature can be set lower than that of the conventional burner heating and can be further stabilized. And
As a result, the processing conditions can be maintained in an appropriate range, so that a high quality wire rod can be efficiently manufactured.

The heating of the wire by energization is specifically carried out by bringing a pair of electrodes into contact with the wire to energize it, but it is necessary to energize the wire to a predetermined temperature before passing through the die. . In this case, both electrodes may be installed on the die inlet side and they may be brought into contact with the wire to energize, but it is preferable that one electrode is installed separately on the die inlet side and the other electrode is the die outlet. It is on the side and close to the dice. This is because, when both electrodes are arranged on the die inlet side, the heating of the wire is terminated before being introduced into the die, and the temperature cannot be reduced during the machining, and the machining cannot be performed under the machining conditions that are planned. Further, the reason why the other electrode is placed on the exit side of the die and close to the die is that if the other electrode is installed away from the die, the wire may be heated even after the processing is finished and the wire may break. The distance between the exit side electrode and the die exit surface is 10
It is preferably 0 mm or less. However, in order to energize the wire most efficiently, the electrode on the die exit side is placed in contact with the die so that the current passes through the die, and the wire is energized by both the electrode and the die. It is particularly preferable to do so.

On the other hand, the position of the electrode spaced apart from the die entrance side is preferably 450 to 550 mm upstream from the die. As will be described later, it is preferable to apply a lubricant to the wire in this drawing process, but if the installation position of this electrode is too close to the die, the wire temperature will rise immediately and the applied lubricant will boil, resulting in a uniform This is because it is no longer possible to apply the coating solution to the coating solution and the space for the coating operation cannot be secured. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide a certain interval between the electrodes in order to secure a space for temperature measurement and control the wire temperature as easily as possible. It is preferable that carbon is used as the material of the electrodes spaced apart from the die entrance side.

In the drawing method according to the present invention, it is more preferable that the die is also heated in addition to the heating of the wire. By heating the die, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of the wire rod during processing, and thus it is possible to reliably prevent the wire rod from breaking. The heating temperature of this die is 400
The temperature is preferably in the range of ˜700 ° C., and this can be performed by installing an electric heater around the die.

Further, in this drawing work, it is preferable to apply a lubricant to the wire material and then work it in order to ensure the quality of the wire material after processing and the processing efficiency. As this lubricant, it is preferable to apply a carbon-based lubricant whose main component is carbon. This is because the carbon lubricant becomes smooth by being cleaved and finely pulverized at the temperature in the present invention, and the processing can be assisted without causing scratches on the wire. In this respect, the carbon-based lubricant is consumed by being oxidized into CO and CO 2 in the atmosphere, and the processing temperature (13
At 00 ° C., the oxidation rate is very high and it is difficult to use. Therefore, in the conventional method, the boron nitride-based lubricant is applied as described above. However, although the boron nitride-based lubricant does not volatilize, it is hard and may damage the wire without cleaving. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage that it is possible to manufacture a high-quality wire material which does not cause scratches because the carbon-based lubricant can be used.

Further, by applying the carbon-based lubricant realized by the present invention, there is an advantage that the quality of the wire is improved and the die life is further improved. This is because the boron nitride-based lubricant used in the conventional method is a type of ceramic and has a polishing action on the die, but the carbon-based lubricant does not have such a polishing action.

The working ratio and the wire drawing speed in this comparative example were set lower than those in the first embodiment, but this was set at the working temperature (about 1300) by the burner heating.
(° C.) Is too high, so that when the processing is performed at the same processing rate as in the first embodiment, the surface of the wire is roughened, wrinkles are easily generated, and the wire is easily broken. . Further, in the drawing work by the burner heating, since the working temperature is as high as 1300 ° C., it is not necessary to carry out the intermediate annealing, so that it is not carried out.
