  • Publication number: 20140369883
    Abstract: To obtain a copper alloy having a tensile strength of 700 N/mm2 or more and a conductivity of 60% IACS or more, a copper alloy of the present invention comprises from 0.8 mass % to 1.8 mass % of Co, from 0.16 mass % to 0.6 mass % of Si, and the balance of Cu and unavoidable impurities, in which a mass ratio of Co to Si (Co/Si) is between 3.0 and 5.0; a size of inclusions to be precipitated in the copper alloy is 2 ?m or less; and a total volume of the inclusions having a size of between 0.05 ?m and 2 ?m in the copper alloy is 0.5 vol % or less.

  • Patent number: 7727345
    Abstract: Raw materials for a copper alloy are melted in a high frequency smelter and cast, and milling, rolling, and annealing are carried out. Then, rolling is again carried out. Thereafter, the materials are heated at a temperature of 900° C. for one minute and are quenched in water, to be solution treated. Subsequently, the materials are heated at a temperature of 500° C. for five hours for aging, and then are cooled at a cooling rate in a range of 10 to 50° C. per hour until the materials are cooled to a temperature of 380° C.
