摘要:
The present invention relates to a copper alloy having high strength, high electrical conductivity, and excellent bendability, the copper alloy containing, in terms of mass %, 0.4 to 4.0% ofNi; 0.05 to 1.0% of Si; and, as an element M, one member selected from 0.005 to 0.5% ofP, 0.005 to 1.0% of Cr, and 0.005 to 1.0% of Ti, with the remainder being copper and inevitable impurities, in which an atom number ratio M/Si of elements M and Si contained in a precipitate having a size of 50 to 200 nm in a microstructure of the copper alloy is from 0.01 to 10 on average, the atom number ratio being measured by a field emission transmission electron microscope with a magnification of 30,000 and an energy dispersive analyzer. According to the invention, it is possible to provide a copper alloy having high strength, high electrical conductivity, and excellent bendability.
摘要:
A copper alloy containing 0.4 to 4.0% of Ni and 0.05 to 1.0% of Si by mass and further containing at least one element selected from the following elements as the element M: P: 0.005 to 0.5%, Cr: 0.005 to 1.0%, and Ti: 0.005 to 1.0%, with the remainder being copper and unavoidable impurities, wherein the ratio of the number of atoms of element M and that of element Si (i.e., M/Si) contained in a precipitate having a size ranging from 50 to 200 nm in the copper alloy matrix is 0.01 to 10 on average (wherein the size is measured by a field emission transmission electron microscope having a magnification of 30000 times and an energy-dispersive analysis system). The copper alloy has high strength, a high electric conductivity and excellent bending workability.
