Description

本発明はスズめっき銅粉の製造方法に関して、個々の銅粉の全面にスズめっき皮膜を均一に被覆できるものを提供する。   The present invention provides a method for producing a tin-plated copper powder that can uniformly coat a tin-plated film on the entire surface of each copper powder.

近年、スズめっき銅粉やスズめっき銀粉は、電子工業分野において導電性ペーストや電磁波シールド用の導電性塗料などに導電性付与のフィラーとして活用されている。
例えば、銅粉や銀粉は導電性が良好であるため、そのままフィラーとして用いることも考えられる。しかし、銅粉は安価であるが、酸化され易く電気特性が不安定であり、他方の銀粉は酸化され難く安定であるが、高価であるうえ、ハンダ付け性に劣るという欠点を夫々持っている。
そこで、これらの長所を活かしつつ欠点を克服する方策として、銅粉の表面を銀めっき皮膜で形成した導電性材料が開発されているが、その一方で、スズは銀より安価であるため、銀めっき銅粉に比べても前述のスズめっき銅粉は導電性フィラーとしての有望性が高いのである。
In recent years, tin-plated copper powder and tin-plated silver powder have been used as conductive fillers in conductive pastes and conductive coatings for electromagnetic wave shielding in the electronic industry.
For example, since copper powder and silver powder have good conductivity, it can be considered to be used as a filler as it is. However, copper powder is inexpensive, but is easily oxidized and unstable in electrical characteristics, while the other silver powder is difficult to oxidize and is stable, but has the disadvantages of being expensive and inferior in solderability. .
Therefore, as a measure for overcoming the drawbacks while taking advantage of these advantages, conductive materials in which the surface of the copper powder is formed of a silver plating film have been developed. On the other hand, since tin is cheaper than silver, Compared to the plated copper powder, the above tin-plated copper powder has high potential as a conductive filler.

スズめっき銅粉を製造する従来技術は次の通りである。
(1)特許文献1
銅粉をコア材としてその表層に均一にスズ被覆膜を形成する目的で(段落10)、銅粉に水を入れて撹拌した銅粉スラリーと、置換析出スズ溶液とを所定の割合で混合し、撹拌し、洗浄、ろ過、乾燥してスズコート銅粉を製造する方法が開示される(請求項3)。
この製造方法は無電解メッキ方式であるため、電気メッキ方式では不可能なレベルにスズコート銅粉の凝集を抑制できること(段落17)、銅粉の粉粒表面を予め硫酸や塩酸で洗浄すると、余分な酸化皮膜が除去されて、均一で密着性の良いスズ被覆層を形成できる下地づくりに有効であることが記載される(段落32)。
尚、得られたスズコート銅粉の用途としてはプリント配線板への導電性ペーストなどが挙げられる(請求項1、段落1)。
The prior art for producing tin-plated copper powder is as follows.

And a method for producing a tin-coated copper powder by stirring, washing, filtering and drying (claim 3).
Since this manufacturing method is an electroless plating method, it is possible to suppress the aggregation of the tin-coated copper powder to a level impossible with the electroplating method (paragraph 17). It is described that it is effective for making an undercoat that can form a tin coating layer having a uniform and good adhesion by removing a thin oxide film (paragraph 32).

上記特許文献1のように、銅粉を水に添加した銅粉分散液を置換析出用のスズ溶液(つまり、無電解スズめっき液)に混合して撹拌した場合、実際には、銅粉が凝集し易く、銅粉の全周面でスズの置換反応が起こるわけではないため、個々の銅粉の全面を均一にスズ皮膜で被覆できないという問題がある。
また、銅粉分散液と無電解スズめっき液とを混合する場合、例えば、撹拌しながら銅粉分散液を無電解スズめっき液に滴下しようとすると、銅粉が円滑に分散したままの状態で液全体をスズめっき液に混合することは容易でなく、先に液相の部分が供給され易く、比重の大きい銅粉はどうしても凝集した塊状になって残り易いため、後からスズめっき液に供給されてしまう。その結果、凝集した銅粉にスズ塩が作用して置換反応が起きるため、個々の銅粉の全面に均一なスズめっきを施すことができないという問題がある。
When the copper powder dispersion obtained by adding copper powder to water is mixed with the tin solution for displacement deposition (that is, the electroless tin plating solution) and stirred as in Patent Document 1, the copper powder is actually Since it is easy to aggregate and the tin substitution reaction does not occur on the entire circumferential surface of the copper powder, there is a problem that the entire surface of each copper powder cannot be uniformly coated with the tin film.
In addition, when mixing the copper powder dispersion and the electroless tin plating solution, for example, if the copper powder dispersion is dropped into the electroless tin plating solution while stirring, the copper powder remains in a smoothly dispersed state. It is not easy to mix the entire solution into the tin plating solution. The liquid phase part is easy to be supplied first, and the copper powder with a large specific gravity tends to remain in an agglomerated mass. Will be. As a result, a tin salt acts on the agglomerated copper powder to cause a substitution reaction, so that there is a problem that uniform tin plating cannot be applied to the entire surface of each copper powder.

本発明は、個々の銅粉の全面に均一にスズめっき皮膜を形成したスズめっき銅粉を製造することを技術的課題とする。   This invention makes it a technical subject to manufacture the tin plating copper powder which formed the tin plating film uniformly on the whole surface of each copper powder.

本発明者らは、銅粉分散液と無電解スズめっき液との混合方式を鋭意研究した結果、銅粉を酸に分散させた酸性分散液を銅粉分散液とすること、この酸性分散液と無電解スズめっき液の混合に際してはスズめっき液を酸性分散液に対して供給し、その逆ではないこと、混合液は強く撹拌させた状態を保持すること、混合液中ではスズと銅の重量比率を所定範囲に適正化することなどにより、個々の銅粉の全面にスズめっき皮膜を均一に被覆できることを見い出して、本発明を完成した。   As a result of diligent research on the mixing method of the copper powder dispersion and the electroless tin plating solution, the present inventors made an acidic dispersion obtained by dispersing copper powder in an acid into a copper powder dispersion, and this acidic dispersion When mixing the electroless tin plating solution and the electroless tin plating solution, supply the tin plating solution to the acidic dispersion, and not the other way around; keep the mixture in a state of strong stirring; The present invention was completed by finding that a tin plating film can be uniformly coated on the entire surface of each copper powder by optimizing the weight ratio within a predetermined range.

Configured alongside,

It is a manufacturing method of the tin plating copper powder characterized by the rotation speed of a propeller being 120-1200 rotation / min.

本発明4は、上記本発明1〜3のいずれかにおいて、混合液を経時的に温度勾配を持たせて加温することを特徴とするスズめっき銅粉の製造方法である。 The present invention 4 is the method for producing tin-plated copper powder according to any one of the present inventions 1 to 3 , wherein the mixed solution is heated with a temperature gradient over time.

本発明5は、上記本発明4において、10℃/10分の昇温速度により温度勾配を持たせて加温することを特徴とするスズめっき銅粉の製造方法である。 The present invention 5 is the method of producing tin-plated copper powder according to the present invention 4, wherein heating is performed with a temperature gradient at a rate of temperature increase of 10 ° C./10 minutes.

本発明では、先ず、銅粉分散液として銅粉を酸に分散させた酸性分散液を用いるため、銅粉を水に添加した場合に比べて、銅粉の凝集を防止できるうえ、脱脂や酸洗浄も併せて行える。また、この酸性分散液とスズ塩含有液の混合では、スズ塩含有液を酸性分散液に対して供給して混合し、その逆ではないため、混合に際しては銅粉が液中に均一に分散され、銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液との混合液を撹拌状態にすることと相俟って、銅粉の全周面においてスズ塩との間で置換反応を円滑に促進できる。
さらに、これらの処理要件に加えて、混合液中ではスズと銅の重量比率を所定範囲に適正化するので、その総合的な結果として、混合液中の置換反応においては、凝集のない状態で、且つ、個々の銅粉の全面にスズめっき皮膜を均一に被覆できる(図5参照)。
In the present invention, since an acidic dispersion in which copper powder is dispersed in an acid is used as the copper powder dispersion, the copper powder can be prevented from agglomerating as compared with the case where the copper powder is added to water. It can also be washed. In addition, in the mixing of the acidic dispersion and the tin salt-containing liquid, the tin salt-containing liquid is supplied to the acidic dispersion and mixed, and vice versa, so the copper powder is uniformly dispersed in the liquid during mixing. In addition, in combination with bringing the mixed liquid of the copper powder dispersion and the tin salt-containing liquid into a stirring state, the substitution reaction can be smoothly promoted between the copper powder and the tin salt on the entire circumferential surface.
Furthermore, in addition to these processing requirements, the weight ratio of tin and copper is optimized within a predetermined range in the mixed solution, so that the overall result is that the substitution reaction in the mixed solution has no aggregation. And the tin plating film can be uniformly coated on the entire surface of each copper powder (see FIG. 5).

本発明は、銅粉を酸に分散させた銅粉分散液に対してスズ塩含有液を供給することで両者を混合させ、この混合液を撹拌しながら加温し、或は加温しないで、銅とスズの間で置換反応を行った後、ろ過、洗浄、乾燥して、銅粉の表面上にスズめっき皮膜を形成するスズめっき銅粉の製造方法である。   The present invention mixes both by supplying a tin salt-containing liquid to a copper powder dispersion in which copper powder is dispersed in an acid, and heats the mixed liquid with stirring or without heating. Then, after performing a substitution reaction between copper and tin, it is filtered, washed, and dried to form a tin plating film on the surface of the copper powder.

本発明1〜2はスズ塩含有液を銅粉分散液に対して供給することを特徴とし、特に本発明1では、スズ塩含有液は基本的に無電解スズめっき液に相当する。
この供給する側(スズ塩含有液)の成分と供給される側(銅粉分散液)の成分については、スズ塩含有液と銅粉分散液の全成分のうち、供給する側には無電解スズめっき液の含有成分の全てを含んでも良いし(本発明1参照)、チオ尿素類のみを含んでも良く(本発明2参照)、また、供給される側には銅粉と酸を最少含有成分として、本発明2では、無電解スズめっき液のチオ尿素類を除く成分の全て、或はいずれかを含んでも良い。
Inventions 1 and 2 are characterized in that a tin salt-containing liquid is supplied to a copper powder dispersion. In particular, in Invention 1, the tin salt-containing liquid basically corresponds to an electroless tin plating solution.
About the component of this supply side (tin salt containing liquid) and the component of the supplied side (copper powder dispersion), it is electroless in the supply side among all the components of a tin salt containing liquid and a copper powder dispersion. It may contain all of the components of the tin plating solution (see the present invention 1) or may contain only thioureas (see the present invention 2), and the supply side contains a minimum of copper powder and acid. In the present invention 2, all or any of the components except the thioureas of the electroless tin plating solution may be included as components.

本発明の銅粉分散液は銅粉に酸を添加した酸性分散液であり、銅粉と酸を必須成分とし、或はさらに界面活性剤や還元剤などの無電解スズめっき液に添加する成分を含有しても良い。
そこで、銅粉分散液の組成の代表例を示すと次の通りである。
(1)銅粉と酸
(2)銅粉と酸とチオ尿素類
(3)銅粉と酸と界面活性剤
(4)銅粉と酸とチオ尿素類と界面活性剤
(5)銅粉と酸とチオ尿素類と界面活性剤と還元剤
銅粉分散液に含有する酸には、有機スルホン酸、カルボン酸などの有機酸、塩酸、硫酸、硝酸などの無機酸が挙げられるが、本発明のスズ塩含有液には有機酸を使用するため、銅粉分散液の酸についてはこれと共通の有機スルホン酸が選択される。
酸を添加することで、銅粉を脱脂、洗浄し、或は銅粉の凝集を防止する機能を果し、銅粉を水に添加する場合に比べて、銅粉を水相で均一分散化でき(図1参照)、銅粉の全面へのスズめっき皮膜の被覆度合が促進される。尚、銅粉分散液に界面活性剤を添加すると、銅粉の分散性の向上に寄与することが期待できる。
The copper powder dispersion of the present invention is an acid dispersion obtained by adding an acid to copper powder, and contains copper powder and acid as essential components, or further added to an electroless tin plating solution such as a surfactant and a reducing agent. May be contained.
Thus, a representative example of the composition of the copper powder dispersion is as follows.
(1) Copper powder and acid
(2) Copper powder, acid and thiourea
(3) Copper powder, acid and surfactant
(4) Copper powder, acid, thioureas and surfactant
(5) Copper powder, acid, thioureas, surfactant and reducing agent The acids contained in the copper powder dispersion include organic acids such as organic sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid, and inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. can be mentioned, the tin salt containing liquid of the present invention to use the organic acid, acid for this a common organic acid copper powder dispersion is selected.
Adds acid to degrease and wash copper powder, or to prevent copper powder from agglomerating. Compared to adding copper powder to water, copper powder is uniformly dispersed in the aqueous phase. (See FIG. 1), and the covering degree of the tin plating film on the entire surface of the copper powder is promoted. In addition, when a surfactant is added to the copper powder dispersion, it can be expected to contribute to an improvement in the dispersibility of the copper powder.

銅粉分散液における銅粉と酸の混合割合は、銅/酸=0.025〜830g/Lが好ましい。例えば、酸300〜2000mLに対して銅粉を50〜250g程度の割合で添加することになる。
銅/酸の比率が適正範囲より少ないと(銅が少なく酸が多いと)、スズめっきの対象となるコア材不足になるため、スズめっき銅粉ではなく、スズのみの析出物が生成され易い。逆に、この比率が適正範囲を越えると(銅が多く酸が少ないと)、銅が過剰となり、銅粉が凝集し易くなる。
この場合、銅粉分散液の酸濃度は0.1〜8モル/Lが好ましい。
また、銅粉分散液中の銅粉は比重が大きく、コロイド粒子でなければ沈降し易いため、スズ塩含有液と混合する前には撹拌状態を保持することが重要である。
銅粉の形状は、球状、偏平状、鱗片状、顆粒状、針状などの任意の形状をとり得る。銅粉は純銅をコア材とする粉末に限らず、樹脂表面に銅皮膜を被覆したものでも良い。
The mixing ratio of copper powder and acid in the copper powder dispersion is preferably copper / acid = 0.025 to 830 g / L. For example, copper powder is added at a ratio of about 50 to 250 g with respect to 300 to 2000 mL of acid.
If the copper / acid ratio is less than the appropriate range (if there is less copper and more acid), the core material that becomes the target of tin plating will be insufficient, so that only tin deposits are likely to be produced, not tin-plated copper powder. . On the contrary, when this ratio exceeds the appropriate range (when there is a large amount of copper and a small amount of acid), copper becomes excessive and the copper powder tends to aggregate.
In this case, the acid concentration of the copper powder dispersion is preferably 0.1 to 8 mol / L.
In addition, since the copper powder in the copper powder dispersion has a large specific gravity and tends to settle unless it is colloidal particles, it is important to maintain a stirring state before mixing with the tin salt-containing liquid.
The shape of the copper powder can be any shape such as a spherical shape, a flat shape, a scale shape, a granule shape, and a needle shape. The copper powder is not limited to a powder having pure copper as a core material, but may be a resin surface coated with a copper film.

前述した通り、本発明1のスズ塩含有液は基本的には無電解スズめっき液に相当し、可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類を必須成分とし、界面活性剤、還元剤、或はその他の添加剤を含有しても良い。そこで、スズ塩含有液の組成の代表例を示すと次の通りである。
(a)可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類
(b)可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類と界面活性剤
(c)可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類と還元剤
(d)可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類と界面活性剤と還元剤
従って、銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液を混合する場合、銅粉分散液(1)〜(4)のいずれかと、スズ塩含有液(a)〜(d)のいずれかを混合する組み合わせが代表例である。
前述したように、スズ塩含有液は原則として可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸とチオ尿素類を必須成分とするが、例外として、銅粉分散液にチオ尿素類を含む場合(例えば、銅粉分散液(2)、(4)〜(5))には、スズ塩含有液は可溶性第一スズ塩と有機酸だけを必須成分とし、チオ尿素類は必須成分ではなくて任意成分となる。従って、銅粉分散液にチオ尿素類を含む場合(銅粉分散液(2)、(4)〜(5))には、スズ塩含有液にチオ尿素類を含んでも良いが(スズ塩含有液(a)〜(d))、含まなくても良い。
As described above, the tin salt-containing solution of the present invention 1 basically corresponds to an electroless tin plating solution, and includes a soluble stannous salt, an organic acid, and thioureas as essential components, a surfactant, a reducing agent, Or you may contain another additive. Therefore, a representative example of the composition of the tin salt-containing liquid is as follows.
(a) Soluble stannous salt, organic acid and thioureas
(b) Soluble stannous salt, organic acid, thioureas and surfactant
(c) Soluble stannous salt, organic acid, thioureas and reducing agent
(d) Soluble stannous salt, organic acid, thiourea, surfactant and reducing agent Therefore, when mixing a copper powder dispersion and a tin salt-containing liquid, the copper powder dispersions (1) to (4) A combination of any one of the tin salt-containing liquids (a) to (d) is a representative example.
As described above, the tin salt-containing liquid is essentially composed of a soluble stannous salt, an organic acid, and thioureas, except that when the copper powder dispersion contains thioureas (for example, copper powder) In the dispersions (2) and (4) to (5)), the tin salt-containing liquid contains only soluble stannous salt and an organic acid as essential components, and thioureas are not essential components but optional components. Therefore, when the copper powder dispersion contains thioureas (copper powder dispersion (2), (4) to (5)), the tin salt-containing liquid may contain thioureas (tin salt Liquids (a) to (d)) may not be included.

本発明の銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液の混合については、スズ塩含有液を供給側とし、銅粉分散液を供給される側とするが、供給側(スズ塩含有液)にはチオ尿素類のみを含むことができる。
即ち、供給側(スズ塩含有液)がチオ尿素類を最大含有成分とする場合には、供給される側(銅粉分散液)には、銅粉と酸を最少含有成分として、無電解スズめっき液のチオ尿素類を除く成分のいずれか(つまり、他の含有可能な全ての成分、或はその一部の成分)を含んでも良い。
本発明2はこの方式を示したもので、本発明1のスズ塩含有液のうち、チオ尿素類を除く成分を銅粉分散液の成分に加えたものを複合分散液とし、この複合分散液に対してチオ尿素類を供給して、両者を混合することに特徴がある。
供給される側の上記複合分散液の成分を具体的に説明すれば、銅粉と有機酸と可溶性第一スズ塩、或はさらに界面活性剤、還元剤などを含有する酸性分散液を意味する。
Regarding the mixing of the copper powder dispersion and tin salt-containing liquid of the present invention, the tin salt-containing liquid is the supply side and the copper powder dispersion is supplied, but the supply side (tin salt-containing liquid) is thiol. Only ureas can be included.
That is, when the supply side (tin salt-containing liquid) has thioureas as the maximum component, the supplied side (copper powder dispersion) has electroless tin as the minimum component with copper powder and acid. Any of the components excluding thioureas in the plating solution (that is, all other components that can be contained, or a part of the components) may be included.
The present invention 2 shows this system. Among the tin salt-containing liquids of the present invention 1, a composition obtained by adding components excluding thioureas to the components of the copper powder dispersion is used as a composite dispersion. It is characterized by supplying thioureas to the mixture and mixing them.
Specifically describing the components of the above composite dispersion on the supply side, it means an acidic dispersion containing copper powder, an organic acid and a soluble stannous salt, or a surfactant, a reducing agent, etc. .

本発明は、銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液を混合する際の供給手順に特徴があり、銅粉分散液にスズ塩含有液を供給することが必要で、逆に、銅粉分散液をスズ塩含有液に供給する方式は排除される。
銅粉分散液にスズ塩含有液を(或は、複合分散液にチオ尿素類を)供給する場合、基本はスズ塩含有液を銅粉分散液に滴下する方式であるが、例えば、銅粉分散液の中に供給路の出口を臨ませて、当該供給路を介してスズ塩含有液を少量づつ銅粉分散液中に送給する方式をとることなどにより、供給しても良い。
スズ塩含有液を銅粉分散液に滴下する方式にあっては、例えば、銅粉分散液の容量がスズ塩含有液の容量より多い条件下で、300〜2000mLの銅粉分散液に150〜1000mLのスズ塩含有液を滴下し、その滴下速度は10mL/分〜1000mL/分であることが好ましい。
この場合、銅粉分散液/スズ塩含有液(容量割合)は2以上が好ましい。
The present invention is characterized in the supply procedure when mixing the copper powder dispersion and the tin salt-containing liquid, and it is necessary to supply the tin salt-containing liquid to the copper powder dispersion. The method of supplying the tin salt-containing liquid is excluded.
When supplying a tin salt-containing liquid to a copper powder dispersion (or supplying thioureas to a composite dispersion), the basic method is to drop the tin salt-containing liquid into the copper powder dispersion. You may supply by making the exit of a supply path face in a dispersion liquid, and taking the system which sends a tin salt containing liquid little by little in a copper powder dispersion liquid through the said supply path.
In the method of dropping the tin salt-containing liquid into the copper powder dispersion, for example, under a condition in which the volume of the copper powder dispersion is larger than the capacity of the tin salt-containing liquid, 150 to 300 to 2000 mL of the copper powder dispersion. It is preferable that 1000 mL of tin salt containing liquid is dripped and the dripping speed | rate is 10 mL / min-1000 mL / min.
In this case, the copper powder dispersion / tin salt-containing liquid (volume ratio) is preferably 2 or more.

銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液(複合分散液とチオ尿素類)を混合した場合、混合液中のスズ/銅の混合重量比はスズ/銅=0.05〜1.00である。
当該重量比が適正範囲の下限より少ないとスズ皮膜が銅粉の全面を均一に被覆できない。逆に、重量比が適正範囲を越えても特に問題はないが、スズの割合が多ければメッキし易くなる一方、凝集し易くなり、また、スズ塩が多くなるとコストの無駄でもあるため、スズ/銅=0.05〜1.00の割合である。
また、銅粉の沈降を防止して、液中に浮遊状態に保持した銅粉に可溶性第一スズ塩、有機酸、チオ尿素類が任意の方位から接触可能になるように、混合液は撹拌状態にする必要がある。
混合液の撹拌強度については、本発明4に示すように、混合液の収容手段が円筒又は球状の容器である場合、円筒又は球状の容器の中心軸にプロペラ型撹拌手段の回転軸を沿わせて構成し、当該円筒又は球状の容器の直径に対するプロペラ径の割合は5/10〜9.5/10であり、プロペラの回転速度は120〜1200回転/分であるように設定することが好ましい。
When the copper powder dispersion and the tin salt-containing liquid (composite dispersion and thioureas) are mixed, the mixing weight ratio of tin / copper in the mixture is tin / copper = 0.05 to 1.00.
If the weight ratio is less than the lower limit of the appropriate range, the tin film cannot uniformly cover the entire surface of the copper powder. Conversely, there is no particular problem even beyond the proper range by weight, while easily plating the more the proportion of tin, aggregation easily, and since there is also a waste of cost when the tin salt increases, tin /Copper=0.05 to 1.00.
In addition, the mixture is stirred so that soluble stannous salts, organic acids, and thioureas can come into contact with the copper powder held in a suspended state in the liquid to prevent copper powder from settling. It needs to be in a state.
As for the stirring strength of the mixed solution, as shown in the present invention 4, when the mixed solution storage means is a cylindrical or spherical container, the rotation axis of the propeller type stirring means is aligned with the central axis of the cylindrical or spherical container. The ratio of the propeller diameter to the diameter of the cylindrical or spherical container is preferably 5/10 to 9.5 / 10, and the rotation speed of the propeller is preferably set to 120 to 1200 rotations / minute. .

また、銅粉分散液とスズ塩含有液(或は、複合分散液とチオ尿素類)の混合液は加温しても、加温しなくても良いが、加温する場合には、一定温度で加温することもできるが、本発明5に示す通り、混合液を経時的に温度勾配を持たせて加温(つまり、スライド加温)することが好ましい。
例えば、一定の高温下で加熱すると、置換反応の速度が速いために、膜厚を一定に調整することが難しく、スズめっき銅粉はダマ状になり易いが、スライド加温させると、スズ皮膜の膜厚が一定になり易い。
スライド加温する場合、10℃/10分の昇温速度により温度勾配を持たせるのが好ましい(本発明6参照)。
In addition, the mixture of the copper powder dispersion and the tin salt-containing liquid (or the composite dispersion and thioureas) may or may not be heated. Although it can be heated at a temperature, as shown in the present invention 5, it is preferable to heat the mixed solution with a temperature gradient with time (that is, to warm the slide).
For example, when heated at a constant high temperature, the speed of the substitution reaction is fast, so it is difficult to adjust the film thickness to a constant level, and tin-plated copper powder tends to be lumpy. The film thickness tends to be constant.
When the slide is heated, it is preferable to provide a temperature gradient at a rate of temperature increase of 10 ° C./10 minutes (see Invention 6).

そこで、上表の試験結果を説明する。
先ず、実施例1で得られたスズめっき銅粉は、凝集のない状態にあり、個々の銅粉の全面に亘りスズ皮膜が形成されていたため、銅の赤茶色或いは赤紫色が皮膜から露呈することがなく、均一な灰色の粉体であった。
同じく、銅粉分散液にメタンスルホン酸と界面活性剤を含有した実施例2、或は銅粉分散液にメタンスルホン酸と界面活性剤とチオ尿素を含有した実施例4も、凝集のない状態にあり、均一な灰色の粉体が得られた。
混合液をスライド加温した実施例3でも、同様に、凝集のない均一な灰色の粉体が得られた。
さらに、実施例5に示す通り、銅粉、可溶性スズ塩、界面活性剤などが含まれる複合分散液にチオ尿素のみを滴下しても、凝集のない均一な灰色の粉体が得られた。
この実施例の銅粉分散液、或は、得られた結果物の状態を説明すると、例えば、実施例1では、先ず、銅粉をメタンスルホン酸に添加した銅粉分散液の段階では、図1に示す通り、銅粉は水相中で良好に均一分散化していた。銅粉分散液をスズ塩含有液に滴下した後の撹拌状態にある混合液の段階でも、図2に示す通り、凝集(塊状物)のない均一な分散液を保持していた。そして、得られたスズめっき銅粉は、図3に示す通り、凝集のない滑らかな均一性を具備した灰色粉体であった。尚、本発明方法で製造すると、均一にスズめっきされているため、仮りに凝集部分が一部で発生したとしても、その部分に圧力をかけて凝集を潰すと、中の粒子は灰色を保持することができる。
Therefore, the test results in the above table will be described.
First, the tin-plated copper powder obtained in Example 1 is in an agglomeration-free state, and since a tin film was formed over the entire surface of each copper powder, copper reddish brown or reddish purple was exposed from the film. There was no uniform gray powder.
Similarly, Example 2 in which copper powder dispersion contains methanesulfonic acid and surfactant, or Example 4 in which copper powder dispersion contains methanesulfonic acid, surfactant and thiourea is also in a state without aggregation. A uniform gray powder was obtained.
Similarly, in Example 3 where the mixed solution was slide-heated, a uniform gray powder without aggregation was obtained.
Furthermore, as shown in Example 5, even when only thiourea was dropped into the composite dispersion containing copper powder, soluble tin salt, surfactant and the like, a uniform gray powder without aggregation was obtained.
The state of the copper powder dispersion of this example or the resulting product will be described. For example, in Example 1, first, at the stage of the copper powder dispersion obtained by adding copper powder to methanesulfonic acid, FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the copper powder was uniformly dispersed in the aqueous phase. Even at the stage of the mixed solution in a stirring state after the copper powder dispersion was dropped into the tin salt-containing solution, a uniform dispersion without aggregation (lumps) was retained as shown in FIG. The obtained tin-plated copper powder was a gray powder having smooth uniformity without aggregation as shown in FIG. In addition, since it is tin-plated uniformly when manufactured by the method of the present invention, even if an agglomerated part is partially generated, if the agglomeration is crushed by applying pressure to that part, the particles inside will remain gray can do.

これに対して、実施例1〜5のような酸性の銅粉分散液ではなく、銅粉を水に添加しただけの分散液を使用した比較例1では、図4に示す通り、分散液の段階で既に不均一なうえ、一部はダマ状となって液表面に浮遊する状態になるため、たとえ、スズ塩含有液をこの分散液に滴下しても、銅粉の表面にスズ皮膜が均一に被覆した灰色の粉体は得られず、図5に示す通り、凝集して赤茶色或いは赤紫色の不均一な粉体しか生成しなかった。
この不均一な粉体は、スズ皮膜に覆われた灰色に銅の赤色が部分的に露出して混在した外観を呈し、粉体に圧力をかけて軽く粉体を潰すと、凝集が潰れてめっきされていない赤い粒子(コアの銅粉)が現れた。
混合液中のスズと銅の重量比が本発明の適正範囲より少ない比較例2では、やはり被覆するべきスズ量が不足して、赤茶色の不均一な粉体が生成し、スズ皮膜の灰色とコアの銅の赤色が混在して露呈した。
同様に、混合液を撹拌せずに処理した比較例3でも、赤茶色の不均一な(部分的に灰色や赤色(銅)が混在した状態の)粉体が生成された。
また、銅粉分散液を供給側としてスズ塩含有液に滴下した比較例4では、やはり、図5と同様に、赤茶色の不均一な(部分的に灰色や赤色(銅)がある状態の)粉体しか得られなかった。これは、ビーカーに収容した銅粉分散液を上から滴下すると、ビーカーの底に銅粉がたまり易く、上澄み液だけが先に添加された後、銅粉が塊となってめっき液(スズ塩含有液)に供給されるためであり、図6に示す通り、銅粉分散液がめっき液に供給された混合液中では、凝集した不均一な粉体(大小の塊状物)が認められた。
On the other hand, in the comparative example 1 which used the dispersion liquid which added only copper powder to water instead of acidic copper powder dispersion like Examples 1-5, as shown in FIG. Even if the tin salt-containing liquid is dropped into this dispersion, a tin film is not formed on the surface of the copper powder because it is already non-uniform at the stage and partly becomes lumpy and floats on the liquid surface. A uniformly coated gray powder could not be obtained, and as shown in FIG. 5, only a non-uniform powder of reddish brown or reddish purple was formed.
This non-uniform powder has a mixed appearance in which the copper red color is partially exposed in the gray covered with the tin film, and when the powder is lightly crushed by applying pressure to the powder, the agglomeration is crushed. Unplated red particles (core copper powder) appeared.
In Comparative Example 2 in which the weight ratio of tin and copper in the mixed solution is less than the appropriate range of the present invention, the amount of tin to be coated is still insufficient, and a reddish brown non-uniform powder is formed, and the tin coating is gray. And the copper core red were exposed.
Similarly, even in Comparative Example 3 where the mixed solution was processed without stirring, reddish brown non-uniform (partially mixed gray and red (copper)) powder was generated.
Further, in Comparative Example 4 in which the copper powder dispersion liquid was dropped onto the tin salt-containing liquid as the supply side, as in FIG. 5, red-brown unevenness (partially gray or red (copper) was present. ) Only powder was obtained. This is because when the copper powder dispersion contained in the beaker is dropped from above, the copper powder tends to accumulate at the bottom of the beaker, and after only the supernatant liquid is added first, the copper powder becomes a lump and the plating solution (tin salt) In the mixed solution in which the copper powder dispersion was supplied to the plating solution, agglomerated uneven powder (large and small lump) was observed as shown in FIG. .
