Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing high electrically conductive, precipitation hardenable copper alloy wire material having both high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
  • GB-A-1 030 427 describes a copper alloy material comprising 0,01-0,15% Zr, the balance being high purity copper and having high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures as well as high thermal conductivity of 91.1 IACS or better, fine recrystallized grain size of less than 0,020 millimeters average diameter, and hardness after cold working of 95,6 Rockwell F or better.
  • This copper alloy material is manufactured by solution annealing at about 805°C followed by quenching. This method permits producing an alloy material of the above small grain size.
  • Copper alloy compositions comprising chrome and/or zirconium are known from GB-A-1 353 430, GB-A-921 795, JP-A-52 3523, JP-A-52 3524 and US-A-3392 016.
  • the methods disclosed in JP-A-52 3523 and JP-A-52 3524 don't mention the grain size but don't employ a solid solution treatment, whereas the methods known from GB-A-1353430, GB-A-921 795 and US-A-3392 016 do not teach a grain size control and the non-use of a solution treatment.
  • GB-A-1 194 888 discloses a high conductivity copper base alloy consisting of 0.1 to 2.5% chromium, 0.01 to 0.5% phosphorus, 0.001 to 0.25% boron, and the balance copper, apart from conventional impurities.
  • This alloy is subjected to a treatment which involves heating for at least 30 minutes at 700 to 975°C, rolling in the aforesaid temperature range, cooling to below 300°C at a rate greater than 550°C per hour, and heating at a temperature of 350 to 550°C for at least one hour. It is to be observed that this document discloses all three of the usual process steps involved in precipitation hardening, i.e. holding for a prolonged period at elevated temperature so as to bring the alloying elements into solid solution, rapid cooling to retain them in solid solution, and finally holding for a significant period at a lower elevated temperature to effect precipitation hardening.
  • an electrically conductive precipitation hardenable copper alloy wire material consisting of at least one alloying metal selected from chrome and zirconium, the balance copper, and optionally minor amounts of silicon, germanium, boron and magnesium which comprises the steps of making an ingot, hot-working so as to form the material into a suitable shape, and thereafter repeatedly cold-working and annealing, wherein the steps are performed without subjecting the material to solution treatment so as to obtain said copper alloy material having a grain size number of not less than 7 as defined by JISG 0551, a minimum electrical conductivity of about 88 (IACS %), and a minimum offset yield stress (0.2%) of about 22 kg/mm 2 .
  • the most important point of the present invention is the manufacturing of a precipitation hardenable copper alloy material having high electrical conducitivity and mechanical strength by obtaining a grain size number of not less than 7, preferably 8-9 as defined by JIS G 0551 by repeatedly annealing and cold-working the copper alloy material without the solution treatment which has heretofore required a precipitation hardening treatment,
  • the suitability for mass production obtained by eliminating the step of the solution treatment is also industrially advantageous.
  • the crystal grain size as defined by JIS G 0551 is calculated as follows.
  • Making an ingot can be performed by general vacuum melting or atmospheric melting using a carbon melting pot.
  • the base metal material preferably comprises a material containing little oxygen, such as a return material or oxygen free copper.
  • Quenching in this case means fast cooling from a temperature of 1,200-1,250°C at which the additives are added to a casting temperature of 1,100-1,150°C within a period of only 1-2 minutes.
  • This method which adopts a carbon melting pot, is especially advantageous for a chrome-copper alloy, a zirconium-copper alloy, a chrome-zirconium-copper alloy and so on.
  • Chrome is preferably added in the form of a base alloy of chrome-copper alloy. This is because the addition of metallic chrome tends to cause segregation due to a difference in melting points and small solid solubility.
  • Zirconium may be added only for deoxidation or for inclusion in the alloy.
  • Zirconium to be included in the alloy is added separately from zirconium for deoxidation. That is, after sufficiently deoxidizing with zirconium, more zirconium to be included in the alloy may be added.
  • the addition of Zr is in general preferably performed at a temperature higher than the melting point of the copper alloy.
  • zirconium is added for deoxidation and more zirconium to be included in the alloy is added. This is because Zr is easily oxidized, and the addition of Zr is thus difficult before sufficiently deoxidizing the electrolytic copper.
  • Special components such as silicon, germanium, magnesium, boron are added after the deoxidation by zirconium as needed. This is because addition of these elements after sufficient deoxidation results in a better yield. Boron is added simultaneously with chrome as a base metal.
  • the ingot making method of the Cr-Zr-Cu alloy may be summarized as follows:
  • the features of the copper alloy melted by this method are found to be the same as those of a copper alloy obtained by a conventional vacuum melting method, and have the following advantages.
  • the atmospheric melting method which uses a carbon melting pot is advantageous in that it does not require special equipment as in the vacuum melting method and the manufacturing cost may be made less.
  • This atmospheric melting method may be advantageously applicable particularly to alloys such as 0.05-1.5% Cr-Cu, preferably 0.3-1.5% Cr-Cu, more preferably 0.3-0.9% Cr-Cu; 0.05-0.5% Zr-Cu, preferably 0.1-0.5% Zr-Cu, more preferably 0.1-0.4% Zr-Cu; 0.3-1 % Cr, 0.1-0.5% Zr, and the balance of Cu; and Cu alloys containing further 0.005-0.1%, preferably 0.01-0.03% (all by weight) of silicon, germanium, boron or magnesium in addition to above ranges of Cr and Zr.
  • alloys such as 0.05-1.5% Cr-Cu, preferably 0.3-1.5% Cr-Cu, more preferably 0.3-0.9% Cr-Cu; 0.05-0.5% Zr-Cu, preferably 0.1-0.5% Zr-Cu, more preferably 0.1-0.4% Zr-Cu; 0.3-1 % Cr, 0.1-0.5% Zr, and the balance of Cu; and Cu alloys containing further 0.005-0.1%, preferably 0.01
  • the copper alloy material is repeatedly annealed and cold-worked after hot-working in order to obtain optimum results.
  • the alloy of the above composition was hot-worked at a temperature of 700-850°C by the atmospheric melting method using a carbon melting pot so as to obtain a wire of 7-10 mm in diameter. Then thus obtained wire was cold-worked after acid cleaning into a wire of 2 mm in diameter. After annealing it at a temperature of 500-650°C, it was further cold-worked into a wire of 0.26 mm in diameter.
  • Table II The characteristics of a copper alloy of cold working finish, a copper alloy of annealing finish at a temperature of 550°C, a copper alloy obtained by a conventional precipitation hardening treatment and pure copper are shown in Table II.
  • the evaluation method was as follows:
  • the specific resistance was measured at room temperature and was converted, taking 0.7241 (International Standard copper specific resistance) as 100.
  • a tensile force required to break (kg/mm 2 ).
  • Presence or absence of flexibility when twisted in wire form Presence or absence of flexibility when twisted in wire form.
  • the grain forms are, in an alloy of rolling finish, relatively elongated and, in an alloy of annealing finish, relatively circular.
  • alloys with a grain size number of not less than 7 manufactured by repeated anneal- ings and cold workings without requiring the solution treatment in accordance with the method of the present invention are shown in Table III. These alloys are an alloy (A) of 1% by weight of chrome and copper; an alloy (B) of 0.15% by weight of zirconium and copper an alloy (C) of 0.7% by weight of chrome, 0.3% by weight of zirconium and copper; an alloy (D) of 1 % by weight of chrome, 0.03% by weight of silicon and copper; an alloy (E) of 0.15% by weight of zirconium, 0.03% by weight of silicon and copper; and an alloy (F) of 0.7% by weight of chrome, 0.15% by weight of zirconium, 0.03% by weight of silicon and copper.
  • Silicon, germanium, boron, magnesium and so on are effective for improving the mechanical strength and for suppressing the generation of coarse grains.
  • the electrically conductive copper alloy manufactured by the method of the present invention may be applied in wide range including cables forwelders, elevator cables, jumpers for vehicles, crane cables, trolly hard copper twisted wires of cable rack wires for power stations and substations. lead wires and so on.
