  • Publication number: 20060011275
    Abstract: The present invention provides a titanium copper alloy excellent in strength, electrical conductivity and bendability, characterized in that it consists essentially of 1.5 to 2.3% by mass of Ti, balance Cu and inevitable impurities; said alloy having a 0.2% yield strength of 750 MPa or greater; an electrical conductivity of 17% IACS or greater; and a relationship represented by the formula: MBR/t?0.04×YS?30, in which, YS is a 0.2% yield strength (MPa), and MBR/t is a ratio of a minimum bending radius (MBR; mm) for no cracking when said alloy is subjected to W bend test according to JIS H3130 standard along a transverse direction to a rolling direction, to a thickness (t; mm) of test piece.

  • Publication number: 20050252589
    Abstract: The present invention provides a titanium-copper alloy having high strength and excellent conductivity as a copper alloy comprising: three to four percent by mass of Ti, residual Cu, and inevitable impurities, wherein the area percentage (S(%)) of a Cu—Ti intermetallic compound phase observed in a section perpendicular to the rolling direction is represented by the following formula: S(%)?8.1×[Ti]?17.7 where [Ti] represents the Ti content in percent by mass. A method for producing the same is also provided.
