Title:
FREE-CUTTING COPPER ALLOY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FREE-CUTTING COPPER ALLOY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/034280
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This free-cutting copper alloy contains more than 77.0% but less than 81.0% Cu, more than 3.4% but less than 4.1% Si, 0.07% to 0.28% Sn, 0.06% to 0.14% P, and more than 0.02% but less than 0.25% Pb, with the remainder being made up of Zn and unavoidable impurities. The composition satisfies the following relations: 1.0 ≤ f0 = 100 × Sn/(Cu + Si + 0.5 × Pb + 0.5 × P – 75.5) ≤ 3.7, 78.5 ≤ f1 = Cu + 0.8 × Si – 8.5 × Sn + P + 0.5 × Pb ≤ 83.0, 61.8 ≤ f2 = Cu – 4.2 × Si – 0.5 × Sn – 2 × P ≤ 63.7. The surface area ratios (%) of the constituent phases satisfy the following relations, 36 ≤ κ ≤ 72, 0 ≤ γ ≤ 2.0, 0 ≤ β ≤ 0.5, 0 ≤ μ ≤ 2.0, 96.5 ≤ f3 = α + κ, 99.4 ≤ f4 = α + κ + γ + μ, 0 ≤ f5 = γ + μ ≤ 3.0, 38 ≤ f6 = κ + 6 × γ1/2 + 0.5 × μ ≤ 80. The long side of the γ phase does not exceed 50 μm, and the long side of the μ phase does not exceed 25 μm.
