Description

本発明は、高強度かつ高導電率で、曲げ加工性が優れた銅合金に関し、自動車用コネクタ等に好適な電気・電子部品用の高強度銅合金板および高強度銅合金板の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a copper alloy having high strength, high conductivity, and excellent bending workability, and relates to a high-strength copper alloy plate for electrical and electronic parts suitable for automobile connectors and the like, and a method for producing a high-strength copper alloy plate. .

電子機器の小型化及び軽量化の要請に伴い、電気・電子部品の小型化及び軽量化が進んでいる。そして、この電気・電子部品の小型化及び軽量化のために、これらに使用される銅合金材料も板厚及び幅が小さくなり、ICにおいては、板厚が0.1〜0.15mmと薄い銅合金板も使用されるようになってきている。その結果、これらの電気・電子部品に使用される銅合金材料には、より一層高い引張強度が求められるようになっている。例えば、自動車用コネクタなどでは、900MPa以上の高強度銅合金板が求められるようになっている。   With the demand for downsizing and weight reduction of electronic devices, downsizing and weight reduction of electric / electronic parts are progressing. In order to reduce the size and weight of the electrical / electronic parts, the copper alloy materials used for these parts also have a reduced plate thickness and width. In an IC, the plate thickness is as thin as 0.1 to 0.15 mm. Copper alloy plates are also being used. As a result, copper alloy materials used for these electric / electronic parts are required to have higher tensile strength. For example, high strength copper alloy plates of 900 MPa or more are required for automobile connectors and the like.

また、これらコネクタ、端子、スイッチ、リレー、リードフレームなどに用いられる銅合金板は、前記高強度および高導電率はもちろんのこと、ノッチング後の90°曲げなど厳しい曲げ加工性が要求されることが多くなってきている。しかも、電子部品の小型化に伴い、従来厳しい曲げ加工は圧延方向に直角の曲げ線で行われる(いわゆるG.W.)のが通例であったのが、圧延方向に平行の曲げ線で行われる(いわゆるB.W.)ことが多くなってきている。   In addition, the copper alloy plates used for these connectors, terminals, switches, relays, lead frames, etc. are required to have not only the above-mentioned high strength and high conductivity, but also severe bending workability such as 90 ° bending after notching. There are many more. In addition, along with the downsizing of electronic components, conventionally, severe bending work is usually performed with a bend line perpendicular to the rolling direction (so-called GW), but it is usually performed with a bend line parallel to the rolling direction. (So-called B.W.) is increasing.

更に、電気・電子部品の前記薄板化及び幅狭化の傾向は、銅合金材料の導電性部分の断面積を減少させる。この断面積の減少による導電性の低下を補うためには、銅合金材料自体に、導電率が20%IACS以上の良好な導電率が求められるようになっている。   Further, the tendency of the electric and electronic parts to become thinner and narrower reduces the cross-sectional area of the conductive portion of the copper alloy material. In order to compensate for the decrease in conductivity due to the reduction in the cross-sectional area, the copper alloy material itself is required to have a good conductivity of 20% IACS or more.

従来から、高強度な銅合金材料としては、42アロイ(Fe-42 質量%Ni合金)が知られている。この42アロイは約580MPa程度の引張強さを有し、異方性も少なく、また曲げ加工性も良好である。しかしながら、この42アロイは導電率が低いという欠点がある。また、42アロイはNiを多量に含有するため、価格が高いという問題点もある。   Conventionally, 42 alloy (Fe-42 mass% Ni alloy) is known as a high-strength copper alloy material. This 42 alloy has a tensile strength of about 580 MPa, has little anisotropy, and has good bending workability. However, this 42 alloy has the disadvantage of low electrical conductivity. In addition, 42 alloy contains a large amount of Ni, and therefore has a problem of high price.

このため、前記種々の特性に優れ、且つ安価なコルソン合金(Cu- Ni- Si系)が電気・電子部品用に使用されるようになった。このコルソン合金はケイ化ニッケル化合物(Ni2 Si) の銅に対する固溶限が温度によって著しく変化する合金で、焼入・焼戻によって硬化する析出硬化型合金の1種であり、耐熱性や高温強度も良好で、これまでも、導電用各種バネや高抗張力用電線などに広く使用されている。 For this reason, the Corson alloy (Cu-Ni-Si system) which is excellent in the above-mentioned various characteristics and is inexpensive has come to be used for electric / electronic parts. This Corson alloy is an alloy in which the solid solubility limit of nickel silicide compound (Ni 2 Si) in copper changes significantly with temperature. It is a kind of precipitation hardening type alloy that hardens by quenching and tempering. It has good strength and has been widely used for various conductive springs and high tensile strength electric wires.

しかし、このコルソン合金においても、銅合金材料の強度を向上させると、やはり導電性や曲げ加工性は低下する。即ち、高強度のコルソン合金において、良好な導電率及び曲げ加工性とすることは非常に困難な課題である。   However, even in this Corson alloy, when the strength of the copper alloy material is improved, the conductivity and the bending workability are also lowered. That is, in a high-strength Corson alloy, it is a very difficult task to achieve good conductivity and bending workability.

このような課題に対して、曲げ加工性が優れた高強度銅合金として、Ni;2 乃至5 重量%、Si;0.5 乃至1.5 重量%、Zn;0.1 乃至2 重量%、Mn;0.01乃至0.1 重量%、Cr;0.001 乃至0.1 重量%、Al;0.001 乃至0.15重量%、Co;0.05乃至2 重量%を含有し、不純物成分のSの含有量を15ppm 以下に規制した、コルソン合金が提案されている( 特許文献1参照) 。   As a high-strength copper alloy having excellent bending workability, Ni: 2 to 5 wt%, Si: 0.5 to 1.5 wt%, Zn: 0.1 to 2 wt%, Mn: 0.01 to 0.1 wt. Corson alloys have been proposed that contain the following elements: Cr, 0.001 to 0.1 wt%, Al; 0.001 to 0.15 wt%, Co; 0.05 to 2 wt%, and the content of S as an impurity component is regulated to 15 ppm or less. (See Patent Document 1).

また、曲げ加工性が優れた銅合金として、Ni;2 〜4 重量%、Si;0.5 〜1.0 重量%、Zn;0.1 〜1.0 重量%、Al;0.001 〜0.15重量%、Mn;0.01〜0.1 重量%、Cr;0.001 〜0.1 重量%を含有し、S;0.002 重量%以下に規制し、残部が実質的に銅及び不可避的不純物からなる銅合金であって、析出物の大きさが10nm以下、析出物の分布密度が1×105 個/(μm3 )以上であり、硬度Hv が220以上であるコルソン合金も提案されている( 特許文献2参照) 。 Further, as a copper alloy having excellent bending workability, Ni: 2 to 4% by weight, Si: 0.5 to 1.0% by weight, Zn: 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, Al; 0.001 to 0.15% by weight, Mn: 0.01 to 0.1% by weight %, Cr; 0.001 to 0.1% by weight, S; 0.002% by weight or less, the balance being a copper alloy substantially composed of copper and inevitable impurities, the size of the precipitate being 10 nm or less, A Corson alloy having a distribution density of precipitates of 1 × 10 5 pieces / (μm 3 ) or more and a hardness Hv of 220 or more has also been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

更に、曲げ加工性が優れた銅合金板として、Ni:0.4〜5%、Si:0.1〜1%を含み、残部Cuと不可避不純物からなり、圧延方向に対して平行及び直角方向とも、耐力が450N/mm2以上でかつ耐力と引張強さの比が0.95以下、さらに、均一伸びと全伸びの比が0.5以上、かつn値が0.05以上であるコルソン合金が提案されている (特許文献3参照) 。   Furthermore, as a copper alloy plate having excellent bending workability, Ni: 0.4 to 5%, Si: 0.1 to 1%, the balance Cu and inevitable impurities, parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction Corson alloy having a yield strength of 450 N / mm 2 or more, a ratio of yield strength to tensile strength of 0.95 or less, a ratio of uniform elongation to total elongation of 0.5 or more, and an n value of 0.05 or more. Has been proposed (see Patent Document 3).

しかし、これら改良されたコルソン合金においても、銅合金材料の強度を向上させると、やはり導電性や曲げ加工性は低下する。特に、900MPa以上の引張強度を持たせようとすると、導電性が必然的に導電率が20%IACS未満程度に著しく低下する。   However, even in these improved Corson alloys, when the strength of the copper alloy material is improved, the conductivity and bending workability are also lowered. In particular, when an attempt is made to have a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more, the conductivity is inevitably lowered to an electrical conductivity of less than about 20% IACS.

例えば、前記特許文献1では、引張強度が916MPa程度と最も高いコルソン合金でも導電率が26.3%IACS程度しかない。しかも、導電率を下げるAlや、鋳造性を低下させるCrなどを含み、生産性が悪く、また安定的に高強度と高導電性の銅合金板を得にくい。また、前記特許文献2では、引張強度が最も高い892MPa程度のコルソン合金の導電率が44%IACS程度である。また、前記特許文献3では、引張強度が710〜730MPa程度の最も高いコルソン合金の導電率が46%IACS程度である。   For example, in Patent Document 1, even the highest Corson alloy having a tensile strength of about 916 MPa has a conductivity of only about 26.3% IACS. In addition, it contains Al that lowers the conductivity, Cr that lowers the castability, and the productivity is poor, and it is difficult to stably obtain a copper alloy plate having high strength and high conductivity. Moreover, in the said patent document 2, the electrical conductivity of the Corson alloy of about 892 MPa with the highest tensile strength is about 44% IACS. In Patent Document 3, the highest Corson alloy having a tensile strength of about 710 to 730 MPa has a conductivity of about 46% IACS.

即ち、これらの事実から、従来の電気・電子部品用銅合金にとっては、高強度化と高導電率化が両立できない課題であることが分かる。   That is, it can be understood from these facts that the conventional copper alloy for electric and electronic parts is a problem in which high strength and high conductivity cannot be achieved at the same time.

更に、前記特許文献1〜3では、このような高強度化と高導電率化との両立ととともに、前記した、電子部品の小型化に伴う圧延方向に平行の曲げ線で行われる(いわゆるB.W.)厳しい曲げ加工には、対応できない。即ち、従来は、高強度化と曲げ加工性とを両立させることが困難であった。   Further, in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is carried out with a bend line parallel to the rolling direction accompanying the downsizing of the electronic component as described above, together with such enhancement of strength and conductivity (so-called B). ..W.) Cannot handle severe bending. That is, conventionally, it has been difficult to achieve both high strength and bending workability.

一方で、リードフレーム用のCu−Fe−P系銅合金において、B.W.などの厳しい曲げ加工に集合組織を制御することが提案されている(特許文献4、5参照)。より具体的には、特許文献4では、銅合金板の、(200)面のX線回折強度I(200)と、(220)面のX線回折強度I(220)との比、I(200)/I(220)が0.5以上10以下であることか、または、Cube方位の方位密度:D(Cube方位)が1以上50以下であること、あるいは、Cube方位の方位密度:D(Cube方位)とS方位の方位密度:D(S方位)との比:D(Cube方位)/D(S方位)が0.1以上5以下であることが提案されている。   On the other hand, in the Cu—Fe—P copper alloy for lead frames, B. W. It has been proposed to control the texture in such a severe bending process (see Patent Documents 4 and 5). More specifically, in Patent Document 4, the ratio of the X-ray diffraction intensity I (200) of the (200) plane and the X-ray diffraction intensity I (220) of the (220) plane of the copper alloy plate, I ( 200) / I (220) is 0.5 or more and 10 or less, or orientation density of Cube orientation: D (Cube orientation) is 1 or more and 50 or less, or orientation density of Cube orientation: D It has been proposed that the ratio of the (Cube orientation) to the orientation density of the S orientation: D (S orientation): D (Cube orientation) / D (S orientation) is 0.1 or more and 5 or less.

また、特許文献5では、銅合金板の、(200)面のX線回折強度I(200)と(311)面のX線回折強度I(311)との和と、(220)面のX線回折強度I(220)との比、〔I(200)+I(311)〕/I(220)が0.4以上であることが提案されている。

In Patent Document 5, the sum of the X-ray diffraction intensity I (200) of the (200) plane and the X-ray diffraction intensity I (311) of the (311) plane of the copper alloy plate and the X of the (220) plane are described. It has been proposed that the ratio [I (200) + I (311)] / I (220) to the line diffraction intensity I (220) is 0.4 or more.

これら特許文献4、5などの、リードフレーム用のCu−Fe−P系銅合金は、集合組織の中で、特に、通常の製造方法では強く発達しすぎるCube方位の方位密度を抑制して、適正範囲に制御することにより、曲げ加工性の向上と安定化とを達成しようとしている。これは、半導体リードフレーム用途におけるスタンピング加工等の曲げ加工の際に、変形中に均一変形させることを狙いとしているからである。   Cu-Fe-P-based copper alloys for lead frames, such as those in Patent Documents 4 and 5, suppress the orientation density of the Cube orientation that is too strong to develop in the ordinary manufacturing method, particularly in the texture, By controlling to an appropriate range, we are trying to improve and stabilize the bending workability. This is because the aim is to make uniform deformation during deformation during bending such as stamping in semiconductor lead frame applications.

しかし、これら特許文献4、5などの、リードフレーム用のCu−Fe−P系銅合金は、引張強度が500MPaレベルのものであり、本発明が対象とする700MPa以上の引張強度を有する高強度Cu−Ni−Si系銅合金(コルソン系銅合金)とは、強度レベルが著しく低く、合金系が全く異なる。   However, the Cu-Fe-P-based copper alloys for lead frames such as Patent Documents 4 and 5 have a tensile strength of 500 MPa, and have a high strength having a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more, which is the subject of the present invention. A Cu-Ni-Si copper alloy (Corson copper alloy) has a remarkably low strength level and is completely different from the alloy system.

このため、本発明が対象とする高強度Cu−Ni−Si系銅合金においては、集合組織の中で、曲げ加工性に影響する方位の挙動は、リードフレーム用のCu−Fe−P系銅合金とは全く異なる。これは、通常の製造方法によって得られる高強度Cu−Ni−Si系銅合金の発達する方位が、リードフレーム用のCu−Fe−P系銅合金とは全く異なることにもよる。   For this reason, in the high-strength Cu—Ni—Si based copper alloy targeted by the present invention, the behavior of the orientation that affects the bending workability in the texture is the Cu—Fe—P based copper for lead frames. It is completely different from the alloy. This is because the direction in which the high-strength Cu—Ni—Si based copper alloy obtained by a normal manufacturing method develops is completely different from the Cu—Fe—P based copper alloy for lead frames.

本発明はこのような課題を解決するためになされたものであって、700MPa以上の引張強度を有する高強度を有し、かつ、良好な曲げ加工性を有するコルソン系銅合金板およびその製造方法を提供することである。   The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and has a high strength having a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more and a good bending workability, and a method for producing the same. Is to provide.

この目的を達成するために、本発明の曲げ加工性に優れた高強度銅合金板の要旨は、Ni:2.0〜6.0質量%を含み、かつSiをNiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siが4〜5の範囲となるように含み、残部がCuおよび不可避的不純物からなるCu−Ni−Si系銅合金からなり、700MPa以上の引張強度を有する高強度銅合金板であって、この銅合金板の平均結晶粒径が10μm以下であるとともに、この銅合金板が、SEM−EBSP法による測定結果で、Cube方位{001}<100>の割合が50%以上である集合組織を有し、かつ、この銅合金板組織が300倍の光学顕微鏡による組織観察によって観察しうる層状境界を有さないこととする。   In order to achieve this object, the gist of the high-strength copper alloy sheet excellent in bending workability according to the present invention includes Ni: 2.0 to 6.0 mass%, and Si is a mass ratio of Ni and Si. A high-strength copper alloy plate having a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more, comprising Ni / Si in a range of 4 to 5, the balance being made of Cu-Ni-Si based copper alloy consisting of Cu and inevitable impurities The copper alloy sheet has an average crystal grain size of 10 μm or less, and the copper alloy sheet has a texture of 50% or more in the Cube orientation {001} <100> as measured by the SEM-EBSP method. And the copper alloy plate structure does not have a layered boundary that can be observed by a structure observation with a 300-fold optical microscope.

また、上記高強度銅合金板を得るための、曲げ加工性に優れた高強度銅合金板の製造方法の要旨は、Ni:2.0〜6.0質量%を含み、かつSiをNiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siが4〜5の範囲となるように含むCu−Ni−Si系銅合金からなる銅合金圧延板を仕上げ冷間圧延するに際し、800〜900℃の温度での最終溶体化処理前に95%以上の加工率で冷間圧延し、前記最終溶体化処理後に20%以下の加工率で冷間圧延した後、350〜460℃の温度で3〜5時間時効処理を施すことである。 Moreover, the summary of the manufacturing method of the high-strength copper alloy plate excellent in bending workability for obtaining the said high-strength copper alloy plate contains Ni: 2.0-6.0 mass%, and Si is made into Ni. When finishing and cold-rolling a copper alloy rolled sheet made of a Cu—Ni—Si based copper alloy containing so that the mass ratio Ni / Si with Si is in the range of 4 to 5, the final temperature at 800 to 900 ° C. Cold rolling at a processing rate of 95% or more before solution treatment, cold rolling at a processing rate of 20% or less after the final solution treatment, and aging treatment at a temperature of 350 to 460 ° C. for 3 to 5 hours It is to apply.

本発明者は、高強度銅合金板の曲げ加工における機構を研究した。その結果、先ず、高強度銅合金板では、曲げ加工の際の、板表面でのすべり帯交差点において「しわ」が生成しやすく、これが曲げ加工の際の割れの起点となることを確認した。そして、この「しわ」の前駆段階として、高強度銅合金板では、結晶粒相当の間隔で、微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)が生成しやすいことを確認した。   The inventor has studied the mechanism in bending of a high-strength copper alloy sheet. As a result, first, it was confirmed that in the high-strength copper alloy plate, “wrinkles” are likely to be generated at the slip band intersections on the plate surface during bending, and this is the starting point of cracking during bending. And as a precursor stage of this “wrinkle”, it was confirmed that in a high-strength copper alloy plate, minute depressions and steps (micro necks) are easily generated at intervals corresponding to crystal grains.

また、銅合金板の高強度化のための、強冷間加工をするほど、銅合金板組織に、圧延と平行方向に、層状境界(Lamellar Boundaries)が生成しやすくなる。この層状境界は、すべりの方位回転差によって発生する大傾角粒界でもある。そして、この層状境界は、特に、前記圧延方向に平行の曲げ線で行われるB.W.曲げ加工では、上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)の起点となりやすいことも確認した。   In addition, as the strength of the copper alloy plate is increased, the more the cold working is performed, the easier the formation of lamellar boundaries in the copper alloy plate structure in the direction parallel to the rolling. This layered boundary is also a large-angle grain boundary generated by a difference in azimuth rotation of the slip. And this lamellar boundary is formed by a bend line parallel to the rolling direction. W. It was also confirmed that the bending process tends to be the starting point of the above-mentioned minute depressions and steps (microneck).

したがって、本発明では、上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)を抑制するために、先ず、高強度銅合金板の平均結晶粒径を微細化、あるいはサブグレイン化させ、Cube方位{001}<100>を集積させて、Cube方位が主体となる集合組織とする。更に、本発明では、上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)の起点となる、上記層状境界を有さない組織とする。   Therefore, in the present invention, in order to suppress the minute depressions and steps (microneck), first, the average crystal grain size of the high-strength copper alloy plate is refined or subgrained, and the Cube orientation {001} < 100> are accumulated to form a texture mainly composed of the Cube orientation. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is a structure that does not have the layered boundary, which is the starting point of the minute depressions or steps (microneck).

これによって、700MPa以上の引張強度を有する高強度を有し、かつ、前記圧延方向に平行の曲げ線で行われる厳しいB.W.曲げ加工においても、曲げ加工性を向上させることが可能となる。   As a result, the strict B.C. is performed with a high strength having a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more and a bending line parallel to the rolling direction. W. Also in the bending process, the bending processability can be improved.

先ず、上記高強度化、高導電率化、良好な曲げ加工性を有するための、本発明高強度銅合金板における組織規定を説明する。   First, the structure prescription in the high-strength copper alloy sheet of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned high strength, high conductivity, and good bending workability will be described.

(平均結晶粒径)
本発明銅合金板の平均結晶粒径は10μm以下に、微細化あるいはサブグレイン化させる。平均結晶粒径が10μmを超えて大きくなった場合、特に、B.W.曲げ加工において、割れの原因となる上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)が生成しやすくなる。
(Average crystal grain size)
The average crystal grain size of the copper alloy plate of the present invention is refined or subgrained to 10 μm or less. In particular, when the average crystal grain size is larger than 10 μm, B.I. W. In the bending process, the above-mentioned minute depressions and steps (micro necks) that cause cracks are easily generated.

本発明で言う平均結晶粒径とは、銅合金板の圧延方向(L方向) の結晶粒の平均粒径である。測定方法は、合金板の圧延方向(L方向) と板厚方向 (ST方向) とを含む面を機械研磨した後に電解エッチングした面を、光学顕微鏡を用いて観察し、表面、板厚の1/8 の部分、板厚の2/8 の部分、板厚の3/8 の部分、板厚の4/8 の部分の各部で、前記L 方向に、ラインインターセプト法で測定する。1 測定ライン長さは0.95mmとし、1 視野当たり各5 本で合計5 視野を観察して、結晶粒径を測定して平均化し、平均結晶粒径とする。 The average grain size referred to in the present invention is the average grain size of crystal grains in the rolling direction (L direction) of the copper alloy sheet. The measurement method is to observe the surface etched and electropolished after mechanically polishing the surface including the rolling direction (L direction) and the plate thickness direction (ST direction) of the copper alloy plate using an optical microscope. Measurement is performed by the line intercept method in the L direction at the 1/8 portion, the 2/8 thickness portion, the 3/8 thickness portion, and the 4/8 thickness portion. 1 The measurement line length is 0.95 mm, and a total of 5 fields are observed for each 5 fields. The grain size is measured and averaged to obtain the average grain size.

(集合組織)
本発明銅合金板の集合組織は、特に、B.W.曲げ加工における上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)を抑制するために、SEM−EBSP法による測定結果で、Cube方位{001}<100>の割合が50%以上と、Cube方位が主方位である集合組織を有するものとする。
(Gathering organization)
In particular, the texture of the copper alloy sheet of the present invention is as follows. W. In order to suppress the above-mentioned minute depression and step (microneck) in the bending process, the measurement result by the SEM-EBSP method shows that the ratio of Cube orientation {001} <100> is 50% or more, and the Cube orientation is the main orientation. It has a certain texture.

銅合金板の場合、主に、以下に示す如き、Cube方位、Goss方位、Brass 方位(以下、B方位ともいう)、Copper方位(以下、Cu方位ともいう)、S方位等と呼ばれる集合組織を形成し、それらに応じた結晶面が存在する。   In the case of a copper alloy sheet, mainly the textures referred to as Cube orientation, Goss orientation, Brass orientation (hereinafter also referred to as B orientation), Copper orientation (hereinafter also referred to as Cu orientation), S orientation, etc. There are crystal planes formed and corresponding to them.

これらの集合組織の形成は同じ結晶系の場合でも加工、熱処理方法によって異なる。圧延による板材の集合組織の場合は、面と方向で表されており、面は{ABC}で表現され、方向は<DEF>で表現される。かかる表現に基づき、各方位は下記の如く表現される。   The formation of these textures differs depending on the processing and heat treatment methods even in the case of the same crystal system. In the case of a texture of a plate material by rolling, it is represented by a plane and a direction, the plane is represented by {ABC}, and the direction is represented by <DEF>. Based on this expression, each direction is expressed as follows.

通常の銅合金板の集合組織は、上述のように、かなり多くの方位因子からなるが、これらの構成比率が変化すると板材の塑性異方性が変化し、曲げなどの加工性が変化する。   As described above, the texture of a normal copper alloy plate is composed of a considerable number of orientation factors. However, when these constituent ratios change, the plastic anisotropy of the plate changes and the workability such as bending changes.

従来のコルソン系高強度銅合金板の集合組織は、通常の方法によって製造した場合、後述する実施例の通り、Cube方位{001}<100>以外の、S方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>が主体となり、Cube方位の割合は必然的に50%未満となる。このため、特に、B.W.曲げ加工において、どうしても、割れの起点となる上記微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)が生成しやすくなる。   When the texture of a conventional Corson-based high-strength copper alloy plate is manufactured by a normal method, as in the examples described later, the S orientation {123} <634> other than the Cube orientation {001} <100>, The B orientation {011} <211> is the main component, and the ratio of the Cube orientation is necessarily less than 50%. For this reason, in particular, B.I. W. In the bending process, the above-mentioned minute depressions and steps (micro necks) that are the starting points of cracks are inevitably generated.

したがって、本発明銅合金板の集合組織は、曲げ加工における微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)を抑制するために、SEM−EBSP法による測定結果で、Cube方位{001}<100>の割合が50%以上と、Cube方位が主方位である集合組織を有するものとする。   Therefore, the texture of the copper alloy sheet of the present invention is the result of measurement by the SEM-EBSP method in order to suppress minute depressions and steps (microneck) in bending, and the ratio of the Cube orientation {001} <100> is It is assumed that it has a texture that is 50% or more and whose Cube orientation is the main orientation.

ただ、本発明において、Cube方位{001}<100>の割合が50%以上であれば、他のS方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>が、副方位として存在することを許容する。   However, in the present invention, if the ratio of the Cube orientation {001} <100> is 50% or more, the other S orientation {123} <634> and the B orientation {011} <211> exist as sub-directions. Allow to do.

銅合金板の集合組織のCube方位{001}<100>の集積度測定は、SEMによる一万倍の電子顕微鏡組織を、EBSPを用いて測定したデータを基に、結晶方位分布関数(ODF)を用いて方位解析することによって得られる。なお、これらの方位分布は板厚方向に変化しているため、板厚方向に何点か任意にとって平均をとることによって求める方が好ましい。   The degree of integration of the Cube orientation {001} <100> in the texture of the copper alloy plate is measured based on the data obtained by measuring the 10,000-fold electron microscope texture using SEM using EBSP. It is obtained by analyzing the orientation using. Since these orientation distributions change in the plate thickness direction, it is preferable to obtain them by taking an average for some points in the plate thickness direction.

このSEM−EBSP法は、Scanning Electron Microscopy−Electron Back Scatterd diffraction Pattern法の略称である。即ち、SEM画面上にあらわれる個々の結晶粒に電子ビ−ムを照射し、その回折電子から個々の結晶方位を同定するものである。なお、この際、本発明においては、基本的に、これらの結晶面から±10°以内のずれのものは同一の結晶面に属するものとする。   This SEM-EBSP method is an abbreviation for Scanning Electron Microscopy-Electron Back Scattered Diffraction Pattern Method. That is, an electron beam is irradiated to individual crystal grains appearing on the SEM screen, and individual crystal orientations are identified from the diffracted electrons. At this time, in the present invention, basically, the deviations within ± 10 ° from these crystal planes belong to the same crystal plane.

SEM−EBSP法により同定された結晶方位は、結晶方位分布関数(ODF)を用いた方位解析において、Cube方位{001}<100>や、他の{123}(<634>)面、{110}(<112>)面などの各方位の占める面積を各々求め、各方位の占める面積の合計である総面積に対する、Cube方位{001}<100>の占める面積率を、Cube方位{001}<100>割合(%)とする。 The crystal orientations identified by the SEM-EBSP method are Cube orientation {001} <100>, other {123} (<634>) planes, {110] in orientation analysis using a crystal orientation distribution function (ODF). } (<112>) The area occupied by each orientation, such as a plane, is obtained, and the area ratio occupied by the Cube orientation {001} <100> with respect to the total area, which is the total area occupied by each orientation, is determined as the Cube orientation {001}. The ratio (%) is <100>.

図1にCube方位の割合が50%以上である本発明例(後述する表2の発明例1)のEBSP像(組織写真)を示し、図2はCube方位の割合が50%未満である比較例(後述する表2の比較例10)のEBSP像(組織写真)を示す。なお、図1の平均結晶粒径が10μm以下であり、図2の平均結晶粒径は10μmを大幅に超えて粗大化している。   FIG. 1 shows an EBSP image (structural photograph) of an example of the present invention (invention example 1 in Table 2 described later) in which the ratio of the Cube orientation is 50% or more, and FIG. 2 is a comparison in which the ratio of the Cube orientation is less than 50%. The EBSP image (structure photograph) of an example (comparative example 10 of Table 2 mentioned later) is shown. In addition, the average crystal grain size of FIG. 1 is 10 μm or less, and the average crystal grain size of FIG. 2 is coarsened greatly exceeding 10 μm.

図3に図1の、図4に図2の、結晶方位分布関数(ODF)を各々示す。本発明例の図3は、Cube方位{001}<100>が主方位となっており、また、これ以外の、S方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>なども、副方位として存在しており、Cube方位のみが集積した集合組織ではないことが分かる。これに対して、比較例若しくは従来例である図4は、S方位{123}<634>が主方位となった集合組織であることが分かる。   FIG. 3 shows the crystal orientation distribution function (ODF) of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 of FIG. In FIG. 3 of the example of the present invention, the Cube orientation {001} <100> is the main orientation, and other S orientations {123} <634>, B orientation {011} <211>, etc. It can be seen that it exists as a sub-azimuth and is not a texture in which only the Cube orientation is accumulated. On the other hand, it can be seen that FIG. 4 which is a comparative example or a conventional example is a texture in which the S orientation {123} <634> is the main orientation.

(層状境界)
本発明では、前記した通り、微小な窪みや段差(マイクロネック)を抑制するために、更に、前記した層状境界を有さない組織とする。この層状境界は、図5の銅合金板の300倍の光学顕微鏡による組織観察写真で示すように、横方向に伸びるとともに、間隔を開けた、白い帯状の模様として観察される。また、図6では、図5を模式化して示しており、層状境界は黒い線状の模様として記載している。図5のように、層状境界はセル状組織に対して、圧延方向(図の横方向)に伸びる、間隔を開けた帯状の模様として観察される。
(Stratified boundary)
In the present invention, as described above, in order to suppress minute depressions and steps (microneck), the structure does not have the layered boundary described above. This layered boundary is observed as a white band-like pattern extending in the lateral direction and spaced apart, as shown in the structure observation photograph of the copper alloy plate of FIG. In FIG. 6, FIG. 5 is schematically shown, and the layer boundary is described as a black line pattern. As shown in FIG. 5, the layered boundary is observed as a strip-like pattern with an interval extending in the rolling direction (lateral direction in the figure) with respect to the cellular structure.

即ち、この層状境界(Lamellar Boundaries)は、銅合金板組織に、圧延と平行方向に生成したもので、冷延中に、すべりの方位回転差によって発生した、大傾角粒界である。そして、この層状境界は、特に、前記圧延方向に平行の曲げ線で行われるB.W.曲げ加工では、特に、微小な窪みや段差の起点となりやすい。したがって、本発明では、300倍の光学顕微鏡による組織観察の際に、組織中にこの層状境界を有さないことと規定し、層状境界を抑制して、B.W.曲げ加工性を向上させる。   That is, this lamellar boundary is generated in the copper alloy sheet structure in a direction parallel to rolling, and is a large tilt grain boundary generated by a difference in azimuth rotation of the slip during cold rolling. And this lamellar boundary is formed by a bend line parallel to the rolling direction. W. In bending, in particular, it tends to be a starting point for minute depressions and steps. Therefore, in the present invention, it is defined that the layer boundary is not present in the tissue when observing the structure with a 300 × optical microscope, and the layer boundary is suppressed. W. Improve bending workability.

(銅合金板の成分組成)
次ぎに、700MPa以上の高強度化、かつ、曲げ加工においても良好な曲げ加工性を有するための前提となる、本発明銅合金板における化学成分組成の限定理由を説明する(記載の含有量%は全て質量%である)。
(Component composition of copper alloy sheet)
Next, the reason for limiting the chemical composition in the copper alloy sheet of the present invention, which is a precondition for increasing the strength of 700 MPa or more and having good bending workability even in bending, will be described (content% described) Are all mass%).

(Ni:2.0〜6.0%)
Niは後述するSiと共に必須に含有されて、時効処理で析出したNi2 Si相を形成して、銅合金板の強度の向上に寄与する元素である。Niの含有量が2.0%未満の場合は、前記Ni2 Si相が不足し、銅合金板の引張強さを700MPa以上とすることができない。一方、Niの含有量が6.0%を超えると、導電率が低下する。更に、鋳造での鋳造性や曲げ加工性が低下する。したがって、Ni含有量は2.0〜6.0%の範囲とする。
(Ni: 2.0-6.0%)
Ni is an element that is essentially contained together with Si, which will be described later, and that contributes to improving the strength of the copper alloy sheet by forming a Ni 2 Si phase precipitated by aging treatment. When the Ni content is less than 2.0%, the Ni 2 Si phase is insufficient, and the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet cannot be made 700 MPa or more. On the other hand, if the Ni content exceeds 6.0%, the electrical conductivity decreases. Furthermore, castability and bending workability in casting are deteriorated. Therefore, the Ni content is in the range of 2.0 to 6.0%.

( Si)
Siも前記Niと共に必須に含有されて、時効処理で析出したNi2 Si相を形成して、銅合金板の強度の向上に寄与する元素である。但し、銅合金板の導電率をできるだけ高い値とし、銅合金板の引張強さを700MPa以上とするためには、前記NiとSiとは、前記互いの含有量の範囲内において、前記NiとSiとが、Ni2 Si相を形成するに必要な当量づつ含まれることが必要である。これをNiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siで表すと、Ni2 Siの構成比率に近い4〜5の範囲である。したがって、Siの含有量は、NiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siで表す。
(Si)
Si is also an essential element together with the Ni, and forms an Ni 2 Si phase precipitated by aging treatment and contributes to improving the strength of the copper alloy sheet. However, in order to make the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy plate as high as possible and the tensile strength of the copper alloy plate to be 700 MPa or more, the Ni and Si are within the range of the content of each other. It is necessary that Si is contained in an equivalent amount necessary for forming the Ni 2 Si phase. When this is expressed by the mass ratio Ni / Si between Ni and Si, it is in the range of 4 to 5 close to the composition ratio of Ni 2 Si. Therefore, the content of Si is expressed by a mass ratio Ni / Si between Ni and Si.

この範囲から外れ、NiとSiとが各々過剰に含まれた場合、銅合金板の引張強さを高くすることができるが、過剰な分のNiまたはSiが銅のマトリックス中に固溶し、銅合金板の導電率が低下する。また、Siが過剰に含まれた場合、鋳造での鋳造性や、熱間および冷間での圧延加工も低下し、鋳造割れや圧延割れが生じやすくなる。一方、この範囲から外れ、Siの含有量が少な過ぎる場合は、Ni2 Si相が不足し、銅合金板の引張強さを700MPa以上とすることができない。 If Ni and Si are excessively contained outside this range, the tensile strength of the copper alloy plate can be increased, but an excessive amount of Ni or Si is dissolved in the copper matrix, The conductivity of the copper alloy plate is lowered. Moreover, when Si is contained excessively, the castability in casting, the hot and cold rolling processes are also reduced, and casting cracks and rolling cracks are likely to occur. On the other hand, if it is out of this range and the Si content is too small, the Ni 2 Si phase is insufficient, and the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet cannot be made 700 MPa or more.

(その他の合金元素)
本発明高強度銅合金板は、Ni:2.0〜6.0質量%を含み、かつSiをNiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siが4〜5の範囲となるように含み、残部が銅および不可避的不純物からなる、Cu−Ni−Si系銅合金板とする。ただ、このような基本組成に、その他の合金元素として、質量%で、Sn:0.05〜4.0%、Zn:0.1〜3.0%、Ag:0.001〜1.0%、Mn:0.01〜0.1%、Zr:0.001〜0.5%、Co:0.01〜0.3%、Cr:0.01〜1.0%、Mg:0.01〜1.0%、P:0.01〜0.1%の一種または二種以上を、選択的に、あるいは必要に応じて含有することができる。これらの元素は、いずれも本発明銅合金の主たる目的である強度や導電率あるいは曲げ加工性のいずれかを向上させる共通の効果がある同効元素である。以下に、各元素の特徴的な作用効果と含有範囲の意義を記載する。
(Other alloy elements)
The high-strength copper alloy plate of the present invention contains Ni: 2.0 to 6.0% by mass, and contains Si so that the mass ratio Ni / Si between Ni and Si is in the range of 4 to 5, with the remainder being A Cu—Ni—Si based copper alloy plate made of copper and inevitable impurities is used. However, in such a basic composition, as other alloy elements, in mass%, Sn: 0.05 to 4.0%, Zn: 0.1 to 3.0%, Ag: 0.001 to 1.0 %, Mn: 0.01 to 0.1%, Zr: 0.001 to 0.5%, Co: 0.01 to 0.3%, Cr: 0.01 to 1.0%, Mg: 0. One or two or more of 01 to 1.0% and P: 0.01 to 0.1% can be contained selectively or as necessary. All of these elements are synergistic elements having a common effect of improving any one of the main purposes of the copper alloy of the present invention, strength, conductivity, and bending workability. Below, the characteristic effect of each element and the significance of the content range are described.

(Sn:0.05〜4.0%)
Snは主に銅合金板の強度を向上させる元素であり、これらの特性を重視する用途に使用する場合には、選択的に含有させる。Snの含有量が0.05%未満ではその強度向上効果が無い。一方、Snを含有させると銅合金板の導電率が低下する。特に、Snが4.0%を超えて含有されると、銅合金板の導電率を20%IACS以上とすることができない。したがって、含有させる場合には、Snの含有量を0.05〜4.0%の範囲とする。
(Sn: 0.05-4.0%)
Sn is an element mainly improving the strength of the copper alloy plate, and is selectively contained when used for applications in which these characteristics are important. If the Sn content is less than 0.05%, the strength improving effect is not obtained. On the other hand, when Sn is contained, the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy plate is lowered. In particular, if Sn is contained in excess of 4.0%, the conductivity of the copper alloy sheet cannot be made 20% IACS or more. Therefore, when it contains, content of Sn shall be 0.05 to 4.0% of range.

(Zn:0.1〜3.0%)
Znは主に半田の対剥離性や耐マイグレーション性を向上させる元素であり、これらの特性を重視する用途に使用する場合には、選択的に含有させる。Znの含有量が0.1%未満ではその効果が無い。一方、Znを含有させると銅合金板の導電率が低下し、Znが3.0%を超えて含有されると、銅合金板の導電率を20%IACS以上とすることができない。したがって、含有させる場合には、Znの含有量を0.1〜3.0%の範囲とする。
(Zn: 0.1 to 3.0%)
Zn is an element that mainly improves the releasability and migration resistance of solder, and is selectively contained when used for applications in which these characteristics are important. If the Zn content is less than 0.1%, the effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if Zn is contained, the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy plate is lowered, and if Zn is contained in excess of 3.0%, the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy plate cannot be made 20% IACS or more. Therefore, when it contains, content of Zn shall be 0.1 to 3.0% of range.

(Ag:0.001〜1.0%)
Agは主に導電率を向上させる。したがって、導電率を向上させたい場合には、選択的に含有させる。Agの含有量が0.001%未満ではその効果が無い。一方、Agを1.0%を超えて含有させても、高価なAgによってコストが大幅に上昇してしまう。したがって、含有させる場合には、Agの含有量を0.001〜1.0%の範囲とする。
(Ag: 0.001 to 1.0%)
Ag mainly improves conductivity. Therefore, when it is desired to improve the electrical conductivity, it is selectively contained. If the Ag content is less than 0.001%, there is no effect. On the other hand, even if Ag is contained in excess of 1.0%, the cost is significantly increased by expensive Ag. Therefore, when it makes it contain, content of Ag shall be 0.001-1.0% of range.

(Mn:0.01〜0.1%)
Mnは主に熱間圧延での加工性を向上させる。したがって、熱間加工性を向上させたい場合には、選択的に含有させる。Mnの含有量が0.01%未満ではその効果が無い。一方、Mnが0.1%を超えて含有されると、銅合金の造塊時の湯流れ性が悪化して造塊歩留まりが低下する。したがって、含有させる場合には、Mnの含有量を0.01〜0.1%の範囲とする。
(Mn: 0.01 to 0.1%)
Mn mainly improves the workability in hot rolling. Therefore, when it is desired to improve hot workability, it is selectively contained. If the Mn content is less than 0.01%, the effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if Mn is contained in an amount exceeding 0.1%, the hot-water flow at the time of ingot-making of the copper alloy is deteriorated, and the ingot-making yield is lowered. Therefore, when Mn is contained, the Mn content is in the range of 0.01 to 0.1%.

(Zr:0.001〜0.5%)
Zrは主に結晶粒を微細化させて、銅合金板の強度や曲げ加工性を向上させる。したがって、強度や曲げ加工性を向上させたい場合には、選択的に含有させる。Zrの含有量が0.001%未満ではその効果が無い。一方、Zrが0.5%を超えて含有されると、化合物を形成し、銅合金板の圧延などの加工性が低下する。したがって、含有させる場合には、Zrの含有量を0.001〜0.5%の範囲とする。
(Zr: 0.001 to 0.5%)
Zr mainly refines the crystal grains and improves the strength and bending workability of the copper alloy plate. Therefore, when it is desired to improve strength and bending workability, it is selectively contained. If the Zr content is less than 0.001%, there is no effect. On the other hand, when Zr is contained in excess of 0.5%, a compound is formed, and workability such as rolling of a copper alloy sheet is lowered. Therefore, when it contains, content of Zr shall be 0.001 to 0.5% of range.

(Co:0.01〜0.3%)
Coも主に結晶粒を微細化させて、銅合金板の強度や曲げ加工性を向上させる。したがって、強度や曲げ加工性を向上させたい場合には、選択的に含有させる。Coの含有量が0.01%未満ではその効果が無い。一方、Coが0.3%を超えて含有されると、化合物を形成し、銅合金板の圧延などの加工性が低下する。したがって、含有させる場合には、Coの含有量を0.01〜0.3%の範囲とする。
(Co: 0.01-0.3%)
Co also mainly refines the crystal grains to improve the strength and bending workability of the copper alloy sheet. Therefore, when it is desired to improve strength and bending workability, it is selectively contained. If the Co content is less than 0.01%, the effect is not obtained. On the other hand, when Co is contained in excess of 0.3%, a compound is formed and workability such as rolling of a copper alloy sheet is lowered. Therefore, when it contains, content of Co shall be 0.01 to 0.3% of range.

(Cr:0.01〜1.0%)
Crは結晶粒を微細化させて、銅合金板の強度や曲げ加工性を向上させる効果がある。したがって、強度や曲げ加工性を向上させたい場合には、0.01〜1.0%の範囲で選択的に含有させる。
(Cr: 0.01-1.0%)
Cr has the effect of refining crystal grains and improving the strength and bending workability of the copper alloy sheet. Therefore, when it is desired to improve the strength and bending workability, it is selectively contained in the range of 0.01 to 1.0%.

(Mg:0.01〜1.0%)
MgはMgSを形成して脱Sの効果もある。したがって、脱Sさせたい場合には、0.01〜1.0%の範囲で選択的に含有させる。
(Mg: 0.01-1.0%)
Mg forms MgS and has an effect of removing S. Therefore, when desalting is desired, it is selectively contained in the range of 0.01 to 1.0%.

(P:0.01〜0.1%)
Pは湯流れ性を向上させる効果もある。したがって、このような場合には、0.01〜0.1%の範囲で選択的に含有させる。
(P: 0.01 to 0.1%)
P also has an effect of improving the hot water flowability. Therefore, in such a case, it is made to contain selectively in 0.01 to 0.1% of range.

この他の元素として、Al、Fe、Ti、Be、V、Nb、Mo、Wなどは、銅合金板の特性を劣化させる不純物である。但し、これらの総量で0.5質量%までの含有量であれば、本発明高強度銅合金板の特性は損なわれることがない。したがって、前記範囲内でのこれらの合金元素の含有は許容される。   As other elements, Al, Fe, Ti, Be, V, Nb, Mo, W, and the like are impurities that deteriorate the characteristics of the copper alloy plate. However, if the total content is up to 0.5% by mass, the characteristics of the high-strength copper alloy sheet of the present invention are not impaired. Therefore, the inclusion of these alloy elements within the above range is allowed.

また、本発明高強度銅合金板において、特に、規制すべき不純物としては、B、C、Na、S、Ca、As、Se、Cd、In、Sb、Pb、Bi、MM(ミッシュメタル)等があげられる。これらは、各々鋳造性や熱間加工性、あるいは高強度銅合金板の特性などを損なう。したがって、これらの不純物はできるだけ含有量を規制して低くする。より具体的には、これらの総量で0.1質量%までとし、できるだけ含有量を低くする。   In the high-strength copper alloy plate of the present invention, particularly, impurities to be regulated include B, C, Na, S, Ca, As, Se, Cd, In, Sb, Pb, Bi, MM (Misch metal), etc. Can be given. These impair the castability, hot workability, or the characteristics of the high-strength copper alloy sheet. Therefore, the content of these impurities is restricted as much as possible. More specifically, the total amount is up to 0.1% by mass, and the content is made as low as possible.

(製造条件)
次に、本発明銅合金板の好ましい製造条件について以下に説明する。本発明銅合金板の製造工程自体は、特別な工程は不要で、通常の方法と同じ工程で製造できる。しかし、前記した通り、常法によって製造した場合、コルソン系高強度銅合金板の集合組織は、Cube方位{001}<100>以外の、S方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>が主体となり、Cube方位の割合は必然的に50%未満となる。このため、Cube方位の割合が50%以上である本発明集合組織を得るためには、以下に示す、特に、仕上げ冷間圧延条件の変更が好ましい。
(Production conditions)
Next, preferable production conditions for the copper alloy sheet of the present invention will be described below. The manufacturing process itself of the copper alloy sheet of the present invention does not require any special process and can be manufactured by the same process as a normal method. However, as described above, when manufactured by a conventional method, the texture of the Corson-based high-strength copper alloy plate has S orientation {123} <634> or B orientation {011 other than Cube orientation {001} <100>. } <211> is the main component, and the ratio of the Cube orientation is inevitably less than 50%. For this reason, in order to obtain the texture of the present invention in which the ratio of the Cube orientation is 50% or more, it is particularly preferable to change the finish cold rolling conditions shown below.

仕上げ冷間圧延までの工程は、通常の方法により行なわれる。即ち、Ni:2.0〜6.0質量%を含み、かつSiをNiとSiとの質量比Ni/Siが4〜5の範囲となるように含むなど、前記組成範囲に成分調整した銅合金成溶湯を鋳造する。そして、鋳塊を面削後、加熱または均質化熱処理した後に熱間圧延し、熱延後の板を水冷する。その後、中延べと言われる冷間圧延をする。   The process up to the finish cold rolling is performed by a normal method. That is, copper containing components adjusted to the above composition range including Ni: 2.0 to 6.0 mass% and Si so that the mass ratio Ni / Si of Ni to Si is in the range of 4 to 5 Cast alloyed molten metal. Then, after chamfering the ingot, it is heated or homogenized and then hot-rolled, and the hot-rolled plate is water-cooled. Then, cold rolling, which is said to be a total roll, is performed.

この中延べ後の銅合金板は、焼鈍、洗浄後に溶体化処理されて、仕上げ冷間圧延後に、時効処理されて、製品板厚の銅合金板とされる。   The intermediate copper alloy sheet is subjected to a solution treatment after annealing and washing, and after finish cold rolling, an aging treatment is performed to obtain a copper alloy sheet having a product sheet thickness.

(仕上げ冷間圧延)
この仕上げ冷間圧延は、最終の溶体化処理を挟んで(溶体化処理の前後で)、通常前半と後半の2段に分けて行なわれる。通常でも、仕上げ冷間圧延の加工率は、銅合金板の高強度化や、Ni2 Si析出物の析出量や微細析出確保のためにできるだけ高くする。しかし、通常では、最終の溶体化処理後の後半の仕上げ冷間圧延の加工率を高めるため、コルソン系高強度銅合金板の集合組織は、Cube方位{001}<100>以外の、S方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>が主体となり、Cube方位の割合は必然的に50%未満となりやすい。
(Finish cold rolling)
This finish cold rolling is usually performed in two stages, the first half and the second half, with the final solution treatment (before and after the solution treatment). Even in normal cases, the processing rate of finish cold rolling is made as high as possible in order to increase the strength of the copper alloy sheet and to secure the precipitation amount and fine precipitation of Ni 2 Si precipitates. However, normally, in order to increase the processing rate of the finish cold rolling in the latter half after the final solution treatment, the texture of the Corson-based high-strength copper alloy sheet is S orientation other than Cube orientation {001} <100>. The {123} <634> and the B orientation {011} <211> are mainly used, and the ratio of the Cube orientation tends to be less than 50%.

このため、本発明では、Cube方位の割合を50%以上とするために、従来とは逆に、最終溶体化処理前の仕上げ冷間圧延の加工率を高くし、最終溶体化処理後の仕上げ冷間圧延の加工率を低く抑える。具体的には、最終溶体化処理前に95%以上の加工率で冷間圧延し、前記最終溶体化処理後に20%以下の加工率で冷間圧延することが好ましい。   For this reason, in the present invention, in order to set the ratio of the Cube orientation to 50% or more, contrary to the conventional method, the processing rate of the finish cold rolling before the final solution treatment is increased, and the finish after the final solution treatment is performed. Keep the cold rolling processing rate low. Specifically, it is preferable to cold-roll at a processing rate of 95% or more before the final solution treatment and to cold-roll at a processing rate of 20% or less after the final solution treatment.

最終溶体化処理前の冷間圧延の加工率が95%未満では、Cube方位の割合を50%以上とできない可能性が高い。一方、最終溶体化処理後の冷間圧延の加工率が20%を超えても、Cube方位の割合を50%以上とできない可能性が高い。この仕上げ冷間圧延では、この他、加工硬化 (オロワン機構による導入転位の高堆積化) による銅合金板の高強度化や、時効処理におけるNi2 Si析出物の析出量や微細析出確保の効果がある。 If the processing rate of the cold rolling before the final solution treatment is less than 95%, there is a high possibility that the ratio of the Cube orientation cannot be 50% or more. On the other hand, even if the cold rolling reduction after the final solution treatment exceeds 20%, there is a high possibility that the Cube orientation ratio cannot be 50% or more. In this finish cold rolling, in addition to this, it is possible to increase the strength of the copper alloy sheet by work hardening (increasing the dislocations introduced by the Orowan mechanism), and to ensure the precipitation amount of Ni 2 Si precipitates and ensuring fine precipitation in the aging treatment. There is.

(最終の溶体化処理)
前記最終の溶体化処理は、水冷による焼き入れ処理を伴って行なうことが好ましい。この際、溶体化処理温度は、700〜1000℃の範囲から選択されるが、800〜900℃の比較的高温とすることが好ましい。800℃未満のような低温の溶体化処理温度では、晶出物のような既に存在する粗大なNi2 Si相が、溶体化処理時の加熱で完全に固溶せずに、そのまま残存して、時効処理後にも銅合金板中に多く混在してしまう可能性がある。また、前記時効処理前に既に存在するNi2 Si相として、かなりのNi2 Siが予め消費されてしまい、時効処理において、新たに析出するNi2 Si相の量が必然的に少なくなる。一方、溶体化処理温度が900℃を超えると、バーニングの問題が生じやすく、製造コストの点で不利となる可能性がある。
(Final solution treatment)
The final solution treatment is preferably performed with a quenching treatment by water cooling. At this time, the solution treatment temperature is selected from a range of 700 to 1000 ° C., but is preferably a relatively high temperature of 800 to 900 ° C. At a low solution treatment temperature such as less than 800 ° C., the already existing coarse Ni 2 Si phase such as a crystallized product remains as it is without being completely dissolved by heating during the solution treatment. Even after the aging treatment, there is a possibility that many copper alloy plates are mixed. Further, as the Ni 2 Si phase already present before the aging treatment, a considerable amount of Ni 2 Si is consumed in advance, and the amount of Ni 2 Si phase newly precipitated in the aging treatment is inevitably reduced. On the other hand, when the solution treatment temperature exceeds 900 ° C., a problem of burning is likely to occur, which may be disadvantageous in terms of manufacturing cost.

(時効処理)
この仕上げ冷間圧延後に、強度を確保するための時効処理を施す。この時効処理は、高強度化、高曲げ加工化、高導電率化に寄与する微細なNi2 Si析出物を析出させる役割を果たす。
(Aging treatment)
After this finish cold rolling, an aging treatment is performed to ensure strength. This aging treatment plays a role of precipitating fine Ni 2 Si precipitates that contribute to high strength, high bending work, and high electrical conductivity.

このために、時効処理条件は、300〜550℃の温度範囲と2〜6時間の処理範囲から、銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa以上の最高値あるいは最高値に近くなる条件を選択される。本発明成分組成のコルソン合金では、前記時効処理の条件範囲で銅合金板の引張強さが最高となるピークを有する。このピーク値を生じる時効処理の温度と時間とは、銅合金板の成分組成によって異なる。したがって、時効処理の上記温度と時間との範囲から、その特定銅合金板の引張強さの最高値あるいは最高値に近くなる条件を選択する。このピークを外れた温度と時間では、引張強さがピーク値に比して大きく低下し、銅合金板の引張強さ700MPa以上の高強度化することができない。   For this purpose, the aging treatment conditions are selected from a temperature range of 300 to 550 ° C. and a treatment range of 2 to 6 hours, such that the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet is 700 MPa or higher or close to the maximum value. . The Corson alloy having the composition of the present invention has a peak in which the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet is maximum within the range of the aging treatment. The temperature and time of the aging treatment that causes this peak value vary depending on the component composition of the copper alloy sheet. Therefore, a condition that is close to the maximum value or the maximum value of the tensile strength of the specific copper alloy sheet is selected from the range of the temperature and time of the aging treatment. At a temperature and time outside this peak, the tensile strength is greatly reduced compared to the peak value, and the copper alloy sheet cannot be increased in strength to 700 MPa or higher.

但し、処理温度は350〜460℃の範囲と、処理時間は3〜5時間の範囲から選択することが、銅合金板の引張強さを700MPa以上の最高値とする点で好ましい。上記好ましい温度範囲と処理時間範囲を外れた場合には、成分範囲との関係で、Ni2 Si析出物が十分析出しないか、あるいは粗大化して、本発明規定を満足できなくなる可能性が高くなる。このため、高強度化、高曲げ加工化、高導電率化が両立できない可能性が高くなる。 However, the treatment temperature is preferably selected from the range of 350 to 460 ° C. and the treatment time is selected from the range of 3 to 5 hours, from the viewpoint that the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet is 700 MPa or more. When the preferable temperature range and the processing time range are not satisfied, there is a high possibility that the Ni 2 Si precipitate does not sufficiently precipitate or becomes coarse due to the component range, and the provisions of the present invention cannot be satisfied. Become. For this reason, there is a high possibility that high strength, high bending work, and high conductivity cannot be achieved at the same time.

なお、上記仕上げ冷間圧延と、この冷延後の時効処理との一連の工程を、1 回のみではなく、2 回以上繰り返して行っても良い。   The series of steps of the finish cold rolling and the aging treatment after the cold rolling may be repeated not only once but twice or more.

造された銅合金板の特性を確実に保証するためには、銅合金板の組織が規定範囲内であるかどうか、検証乃至確認する必要がある。 To ensure that guarantees manufacturing properties of the copper alloy sheet, whether tissue of the copper alloy sheet is within the prescribed range, it is necessary to verify or confirm.

以下に本発明の実施例を説明する。下記表1 に示す各組成の銅合金を鋳造して銅合金板を製造し、強度、導電率、曲げ性などの各特性を評価した。なお、表1 に示す各組成の銅合金板において、表1 に記載以外の他の元素(不可避的不純物元素)として、Al、Fe、Ti、Be、V、Nb、Mo、Wは、これらの総量で0.5質量%以下であった。また、B、C、Na、S、Ca、As、Se、Cd、In、Sb、Pb、Bi、MM(ミッシュメタル)等の元素は、これらの総量で0.1 質量%以下であった。   Examples of the present invention will be described below. Copper alloy sheets were produced by casting copper alloys having the compositions shown in Table 1 below, and properties such as strength, conductivity, and bendability were evaluated. In addition, in the copper alloy plate having each composition shown in Table 1, Al, Fe, Ti, Be, V, Nb, Mo, and W are other elements other than those described in Table 1 (inevitable impurity elements). The total amount was 0.5% by mass or less. Further, the total amount of elements such as B, C, Na, S, Ca, As, Se, Cd, In, Sb, Pb, Bi, and MM (Misch metal) was 0.1% by mass or less.

具体的な銅合金板の製造方法としては、クリプトル炉において大気中で木炭被覆下で溶解し、鋳鉄製ブックモールドに鋳造し、厚さが50mm、幅が75mm、長さが180mmの鋳塊を得た。そして、鋳塊の表面を面削した後、950℃の温度で厚さが15mmになるまで熱間圧延し、750℃以上の温度から水中に急冷した。次に、酸化スケールを除去した後、冷間圧延を行い、厚さが1.5〜0.25mmの板を得た。   A specific method for producing a copper alloy plate is to melt under a charcoal coating in the atmosphere in a kryptor furnace, cast into a cast iron book mold, and form an ingot having a thickness of 50 mm, a width of 75 mm, and a length of 180 mm. Obtained. Then, after chamfering the surface of the ingot, it was hot-rolled at a temperature of 950 ° C. until the thickness became 15 mm, and rapidly cooled into water from a temperature of 750 ° C. or higher. Next, after removing the oxide scale, cold rolling was performed to obtain a plate having a thickness of 1.5 to 0.25 mm.

続いて、塩浴炉を使用し、種々の温度で20秒間加熱する溶体化処理を行なった後に、水中に急冷した後、後半の仕上げ冷間圧延により、各厚みの冷延板にした。この際、表2に示すように、これら冷間圧延の加工率(%) を種々変えて冷延板にした。これらの冷延板を、表2に示すように、温度 (℃) と時間(hr)とを種々変えて時効処理した。   Subsequently, using a salt bath furnace, after performing a solution treatment by heating at various temperatures for 20 seconds, after quenching in water, cold rolling sheets of various thicknesses were made by finish cold rolling in the latter half. At this time, as shown in Table 2, various cold rolling ratios (%) were used to obtain cold rolled sheets. As shown in Table 2, these cold-rolled plates were subjected to aging treatment with various changes in temperature (° C.) and time (hr).

このようにして製造した銅合金板に対して、各例とも、時効処理後に銅合金板から切り出した試料を使用し、以下に示す試験及び評価を実施した。   With respect to the copper alloy plate thus produced, in each example, a sample cut out from the copper alloy plate after aging treatment was used, and the following tests and evaluations were performed.

銅合金板試料の組織、平均結晶粒径(μm)、Cube方位{001}<100>、S方位{123}<634>や、B方位{011}<211>、の各方位割合 (%) 、300倍の光学顕微鏡による組織観察によって観察しうる層状境界の有無を、前記した各測定方法によって測定した。これらの結果を表2に示す。   Structure of copper alloy sheet sample, average crystal grain size (μm), Cube orientation {001} <100>, S orientation {123} <634>, and B orientation {011} <211>, each orientation ratio (%) The presence or absence of a layered boundary that can be observed by observing the structure with a 300 × optical microscope was measured by each of the measurement methods described above. These results are shown in Table 2.

また、前記銅合金板試料の、引張強度、導電率、曲げ性などの特性を評価した。引張強度を求める引張り試験は、圧延方向に平行に切り出してJIS13号の試験片を作成し、この試験片を使用して行った。   The copper alloy sheet samples were evaluated for properties such as tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and bendability. The tensile test for obtaining the tensile strength was carried out by cutting out in parallel with the rolling direction to prepare a JIS No. 13 test piece and using this test piece.

導電率は、幅10mm×長さ300mm の試験片を使用し、ダブルブリッジにより電気抵抗を測定して平均断面積法により算出した。   The conductivity was calculated by an average cross-sectional area method using a test piece having a width of 10 mm and a length of 300 mm, measuring the electric resistance with a double bridge.

曲げ加工性は、実プレスにおいて、R=0.15mmで、曲げ線を圧延方向に平行(B.W.)に設定し、前記銅合金板試料の90°曲げを行った。そして、曲げ部を20倍のルーペで観察し、クラック(割れ)の発生の有無により曲げ加工性を評価した。即ち、曲げ部にクラックが無く、曲げ加工条件が厳しくても、曲げ加工性が良いものを○と評価した。また、クラックは無いが、この起点となる微小な窪みや段差が生成しているものを△、明確なクラックが多数存在し、曲げ加工条件を緩和しても、曲げ加工が不可のものを×と各々評価した。これらの試験結果も表2に示す。   The bending workability was R = 0.15 mm in an actual press, the bending line was set parallel to the rolling direction (BW), and the copper alloy sheet sample was bent 90 °. And the bending part was observed with the magnifier of 20 times, and bending workability was evaluated by the presence or absence of generation | occurrence | production of a crack (crack). That is, even if there were no cracks in the bent part and the bending process conditions were strict, those having good bending workability were evaluated as “good”. In addition, there is no crack, but a case where a small dent or step is generated as a starting point is Δ, and there are a lot of clear cracks, and even if the bending conditions are relaxed, those that cannot be bent × Each was evaluated. These test results are also shown in Table 2.

発明例1〜10は、表1および2から明らかな通り、本発明組成内の発明例合金A〜Jを用い、仕上げ冷間圧延や、時効処理も好ましい条件内で製造されている。このため、銅合金板の平均結晶粒径が10μm以下であるとともに、SEM−EBSP法による測定結果で、Cube方位{001}<100>の割合が50%以上である集合組織を有し、かつ、銅合金板組織が300倍の光学顕微鏡による組織観察によって観察しうる層状境界を有さない。   Inventive Examples 1 to 10 are manufactured under the preferable conditions of finish cold rolling and aging treatment using Inventive Example Alloys A to J within the composition of the present invention, as is apparent from Tables 1 and 2. Therefore, the average crystal grain size of the copper alloy plate is 10 μm or less, and has a texture in which the ratio of the Cube orientation {001} <100> is 50% or more as a result of measurement by the SEM-EBSP method, and The copper alloy plate structure does not have a layered boundary that can be observed by a structure observation with a 300-fold optical microscope.

この結果、発明例1〜10は、700MPa以上の引張強度を有し、かつ、20%以上の高導電率と、曲げ線が圧延方向に平行(B.W.)であっても高い曲げ加工性も有している。   As a result, Invention Examples 1 to 10 have a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more, a high conductivity of 20% or more, and a high bending process even when the bending line is parallel to the rolling direction (BW). It also has sex.

これに対して、表1および表2から明らかな通り、比較例11は、用いた銅合金例KのNiが含有量は範囲内だがSiに対し過剰で、Ni/ Siが5 を超えている。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa未満である。   On the other hand, as is apparent from Tables 1 and 2, in Comparative Example 11, the content of Ni in the copper alloy example K used was within the range but was excessive with respect to Si, and Ni / Si exceeded 5 . For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is less than 700 MPa.

比較例12は、用いた銅合金例LのSiがNiに対し過剰で、Ni/ Siが4 未満である。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の曲げ加工性が悪い。   In Comparative Example 12, Si in the copper alloy example L used is excessive with respect to Ni, and Ni / Si is less than 4. For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the bending workability of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is poor.

比較例13は、用いた銅合金例MのNi含有量が少な過ぎる。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa未満である。   The comparative example 13 has too little Ni content of the copper alloy example M used. For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is less than 700 MPa.

比較例14は、用いた銅合金例NのNi含有量が多過ぎる。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の導電率が20%IACS未満である。   The comparative example 14 has too much Ni content of the copper alloy example N used. For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is less than 20% IACS.

比較例15は、用いた銅合金例OのSi含有量が少な過ぎ、Ni/ Siが5を超える。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa未満である。   In Comparative Example 15, the Si content of the copper alloy example O used is too small, and Ni / Si exceeds 5. For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is less than 700 MPa.

比較例16は、用いた銅合金例PのSi含有量が多過ぎ、Ni/ Siが5 未満である。このため、製造方法は好ましい条件内で製造されているものの、時効処理後の銅合金板の曲げ加工性が悪い。   The comparative example 16 has too much Si content of the copper alloy example P used, and Ni / Si is less than 5. For this reason, although the manufacturing method is manufactured within preferable conditions, the bending workability of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is poor.

比較例17、18は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、仕上げ圧延前半の冷延率が低過ぎ、また仕上げ圧延後半の冷延率が高過ぎる、謂わば、従来の常法による製造例に相当する。このため、S、B方位主体の集合組織となり、Cube方位の割合が50%未満であり、また層状境界が生じており、曲げ加工性に劣っている。   Comparative Examples 17 and 18 use the invention alloy example C, but the cold rolling rate in the first half of the finish rolling is too low, and the cold rolling rate in the second half of the finish rolling is too high. It corresponds to. For this reason, it becomes a texture mainly composed of S and B orientations, the ratio of the Cube orientation is less than 50%, and a layered boundary is formed, resulting in poor bending workability.

比較例19は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、仕上げ圧延前半の冷延率が低過ぎる。このため、S、B方位主体の集合組織となり、Cube方位の割合が50%未満であり、曲げ加工性に劣っている。   Comparative Example 19 uses Invention Alloy Example C, but the cold rolling rate in the first half of finish rolling is too low. For this reason, it becomes a texture mainly composed of S and B orientations, and the ratio of Cube orientation is less than 50%, which is inferior in bending workability.

比較例20は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、仕上げ圧延後半の冷延率が高過ぎる。このため、S、B方位主体の集合組織となり、Cube方位の割合が50%未満であり、曲げ加工性に劣っている。   Comparative Example 20 uses Inventive Alloy Example C, but the cold rolling rate in the latter half of the finish rolling is too high. For this reason, it becomes a texture mainly composed of S and B orientations, and the ratio of Cube orientation is less than 50%, which is inferior in bending workability.

比較例21は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、時効処理温度が低過ぎて、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa未満の著しく低い値である。   Comparative Example 21 uses invention alloy example C, but the aging treatment temperature is too low, and the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is a remarkably low value of less than 700 MPa.

比較例22は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、時効処理温度が高過ぎて、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さが700MPa未満の著しく低い値である。   Comparative Example 22 uses invention alloy example C, but the aging treatment temperature is too high, and the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment is a remarkably low value of less than 700 MPa.

比較例23は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、溶体化処理温度が高過ぎて、結晶粒径が大きく、曲げ加工性に劣っている。   Comparative Example 23 uses Inventive Alloy Example C, but the solution treatment temperature is too high, the crystal grain size is large, and the bending workability is poor.

比較例24は、発明合金例Cを用いているが、溶体化処理温度が低すぎて再結晶しておらず、晶出物も大きく、曲げ性が悪い。   Comparative Example 24 uses Inventive Alloy Example C, but the solution treatment temperature is too low for recrystallization, the crystallization is large, and the bendability is poor.

以上の結果から、時効処理後の銅合金板の引張強さを700MPa以上で、かつ曲げ加工性にも優れ、導電率も高くするための、本発明銅合金板の成分組成、および組織などの規定の臨界的な意義が裏付けられる。   From the above results, the composition of the copper alloy sheet of the present invention, the structure, etc. for increasing the tensile strength of the copper alloy sheet after the aging treatment to 700 MPa or more, excellent bending workability, and high conductivity, etc. The critical significance of the regulations is supported.

また、特に、Cube方位の割合や、層状境界の有無などが、製造条件の違いの影響を受けやすく、製造された銅合金板の組織や特性を確実に保証するために、上記した成分組成や製造条件を最適化するとともに、銅合金板の組織が規定範囲内であるかどうか、検証乃至確認する必要があることが裏付けられる。   In particular, the ratio of the Cube orientation, the presence or absence of a layered boundary, etc. are easily affected by differences in manufacturing conditions, and in order to ensure the structure and characteristics of the manufactured copper alloy plate, In addition to optimizing the manufacturing conditions, it is confirmed that it is necessary to verify or confirm whether the structure of the copper alloy sheet is within the specified range.
