Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has high strength and high electrical conductivity, and has good workability (elongation) for various electrical contact materials, sheath materials and reinforcing materials for ceramic composite wires such as oxide superconducting wires. There is also a demand for superior materials.

できることから注目されている。[0003] By the way, silver is well known as having higher conductivity than before, but silver has a drawback that its strength is low. Therefore, silver can be alloyed with other metals,
Alternatively, utilizing the property of silver that transmits oxygen at high temperatures,
A method has been developed to increase the strength of silver by blending a small amount of magnesium with silver and selectively generating its oxide.The latter, in particular, is referred to as the selective oxidation method, which significantly enhances the excellent conductivity of silver. It is noted that strength can be imparted without lowering.
【0004】しかしながら、この選択酸化法で高い強度

性が低下するという問題がある。As described above, in recent years, there has been a demand for a material having high strength, high conductivity, and excellent workability, and a material obtained by imparting strength to silver by a selective oxidation method has attracted attention. However, in order to obtain high strength, a large amount of an oxide element (magnesium) must be added, and there is a problem that workability is reduced.

The purpose is to provide a method that can do.

After melting and casting a silver alloy containing 0.05 to 0.8% by weight and the balance being silver and unavoidable impurities, cold working is performed, and then 1 to 550 to 900 ° C. in an oxidizing atmosphere.
It is characterized by heat treatment for 250 hours.

得ることができる。In the present invention, the combined use of magnesium and antimony as minor components added to silver makes it possible to impart high strength to silver without deteriorating not only conductivity but also processability. Thus, a silver alloy having high conductivity, high strength, and excellent workability can be obtained.

A silver alloy containing 0.05 to 0.3% by weight and 0.05 to 0.8% by weight of antimony, the balance being silver and unavoidable impurities is melt-cast.
【0011】ここで合金成分の組成を上述のような範囲

は、強度が不十分となり、0.3 重量%を越えると加工性
が低下してくる。また、アンチモンは主として加工性を
改善するために添加するものであり、アンチモンの添加
量が0.05重量%未満では、加工性を改善する効果が小さ

るようになるばかりか、強度も低下する。マグネシウム
添加量のより好ましい範囲は、 0.1〜0.2重量%であ
り、アンチモンは 0.2〜0.6 重量%の範囲である。The reason why the composition of the alloy component is limited to the above-mentioned range is that a composition in this range has the best balance between strength and conductivity and also has good workability.
That is, magnesium is added to increase the strength. If the amount of magnesium is less than 0.05% by weight, the strength becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 0.3% by weight, the workability is reduced. Antimony is mainly added to improve processability. When the amount of antimony is less than 0.05% by weight, the effect of improving processability is small, and when the amount exceeds 0.8% by weight, processability is reduced. On the contrary, not only does it decrease, but also the strength decreases. A more preferred range of the amount of magnesium is 0.1 to 0.2% by weight, and that of antimony is in a range of 0.2 to 0.6% by weight.

低下するようになり、さらに加工性も低下してくる。Subsequently, the cold-worked alloy is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of 550 to 900 ° C. for 1 to 250 hours in an oxidizing atmosphere. This step is for generating oxide particles by internal oxidation of magnesium and antimony in a silver matrix in order to obtain high strength, but is also an important step in obtaining good workability. That is, the heat treatment temperature is less than 550 ° C or the heat treatment time
If the heating time is less than 1 hour, the oxide particles are insufficiently generated and high strength cannot be obtained, and the heat treatment temperature exceeds 900 ° C.
Alternatively, if the heat treatment time exceeds 250 hours, the strength will conversely decrease, and the workability will also decrease.

It is more preferable to perform a two-step heat treatment in which the heat treatment steps are sequentially performed for up to 200 hours. By performing the two-step heat treatment, higher strength can be obtained.
