Abstract: A copper alloy material consists of, by mass % Ti: 0.01-2.5%, Cr: 0.01-0.5%, Fe: 0.01% or more and less than 1%, and the balance Cu and impurities. The copper alloy possesses excellent strength, electrical conductivity, and workability without containing any environmentally harmful elements. These properties are attained by control of the total number and the diameter of precipitates and inclusions having a diameter of 1 ?m, and control of the relationship between tensile strength TS (MPa) and electrical conductivity, IACS (%). The copper alloy material is a sheet and the relationship between tensile strength and the bending workability in a bad way B90 of the copper alloy material as well as the relationship between elongation and tensile strength are also controlled with respect to each other for property improvement.
