[Industrial Application Field] This invention not only allows for extremely little wear on the punching dies used in the manufacture of terminals and connectors, but also extends the useful life of the punching dies. This invention relates to a Cu alloy that has the strength, spring properties, heat creep resistance, and heat peeling resistance of solder required for terminals and connectors. [Prior art] Generally, terminals and connectors are made of Cu alloy.

Cu alloy and described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-62834
Ni and Si are the main alloy components, and Zn, P,
Sn, As, Cr, Mg, Mn, Sb, Fe, Co, Al,
A Cu alloy containing one or more of Ti, Zr, Be, Ag, Pb, B, and rare earth elements is used, and a plate or strip of these Cu alloys is molded into a specified shape. It is manufactured by a basic process of punching a shaped terminal/connector material and then press-forming the material into the final shape either simultaneously with the punching or as a separate process. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when using the conventional Cu alloys mentioned above, when punching plates or strips using a die, the die wears quickly (punching die wear), and dimensional accuracy deteriorates. The current situation is that the service life of molds has to be shortened due to these reasons. [Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, from the above-mentioned viewpoint, the present inventors conducted research to develop a Cu alloy for terminals and connectors that minimizes the wear of punching dies.
−Ni−Si−Zn−Sn alloy contains Mg, Ca, and
When Pb is co-contained, the wear of the mold during punching process is significantly reduced.
Furthermore, we obtained the knowledge that Ni, Si, Zn, and Sn contained as alloy components provide the strength, springiness, heat creep resistance, and heat peeling resistance of solder required for terminals and connectors. It is. This invention was made based on the above-mentioned knowledge, and in weight% (hereinafter % indicates weight%), Ni: 0.5 to 3%, Si: 0.02 to 0.7%, Zn: 0.1 to 3
%, Sn: 0.1-0.9%, Mg: 0.001-0.2%, Ca:
0.001-0.01%, Pb: 0.001-0.01%, and the rest is Cu and unavoidable impurities.The Cu alloy for terminals and connectors is characterized by less wear on the punching die. Next, the reason why the composition of the Cu alloy of the present invention is limited as described above will be explained. (a) Ni and Si These components coexist to form a compound and have the effect of improving strength, increasing the softening temperature, and improving heat creep resistance without significantly reducing conductivity. However, even if the content of Ni is less than 0.5% or less than 0.02% of Si, the formation of the compound is insufficient and the desired effect cannot be obtained.
Even if the Si content exceeds 0.7%, the hot workability decreases.
The content is Ni: 0.5-3%, Si:
It was set at 0.02-0.7%. (b) Zn The Zn component has the effect of improving the heat peeling resistance of the solder as well as the castability, but if its content is less than 0.1%, the desired effect cannot be obtained; If the content exceeds 3%, solderability will be impaired, so the content was set at 0.1 to 3%. (c) Sn The Sn component has the effect of further improving spring properties, but if its content is less than 0.1%, the desired spring properties cannot be secured, while if its content exceeds 0.9%, Since the conductivity tends to decrease, its content is reduced to 0.1.
It was set at ~0.9%. (d) Mg, Ca, and Pb These three components have the effect of significantly reducing the wear of the punching die when they coexist; therefore, even if any one of these three components If the specified amount of Mg is not contained, that is, if the content of any component is less than 0.001%, the wear reduction effect of the punching die cannot be obtained.On the other hand, if the content of Mg is less than 0.2% If it exceeds the limit, the castability into an ingot after preparing the Cu alloy molten metal will deteriorate, ingot defects will increase, and
In the case of Ca, if it exceeds 0.01%, oxidation consumption will be severe when it is added and the content yield will drop significantly, making it uneconomical.Furthermore, in the case of Pb, if it exceeds 0.01%, it will cause severe oxidation consumption when it is added. Since Mg begins to precipitate at grain boundaries and reduces hot rolling properties, the Mg content is
0.001-0.2%, Ca: 0.001-0.01%, and
Pb: 0.001 to 0.01%. [Example] Next, the Cu alloy of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples. Using an ordinary low-frequency groove-type melting furnace, the Cu melt shown in Table 1 was melted in an atmospheric atmosphere under a charcoal coating.
Prepare molten alloy and use semi-continuous casting method to obtain thickness:
It is cast into an ingot with dimensions of 160 mm x width: 450 mm x length: 2400 mm, and this ingot is hot-rolled at a predetermined rolling start temperature within the range of 750 to 900°C, resulting in a thickness of: After making a 10mm hot-rolled sheet, it was immediately cooled with water and surface milled to remove scale.
Cold rolling and annealing are repeated, and finish rolling is performed at a rolling ratio of 50% to obtain a strip with a thickness of 0.25 mm.
The present invention is achieved by annealing under conditions of time holding.
Cu alloy materials 1 to 10 and comparative Cu alloy materials 1 to 8 were manufactured. In addition, comparative Cu alloy materials 1 to 8 all have the content of one of the constituent components (as shown in Table 1).
(marked) have compositions outside the scope of this invention. Next, the various Cu alloy materials obtained as a result were subjected to a tensile test, a solder thermal peel test, and a punching die wear test, and the spring limit value was measured and the stress relaxation rate was calculated. The heat-resistant creep property was evaluated. In addition, for the tensile test, samples were taken parallel to the rolling direction.
Tensile strength and elongation were measured using JIS No. 5 test pieces.
