Embodiment 1)

[0259] A copper raw material composed of oxygen-free copper (ASTM B152C10100) with a purity of 99.99% by mass or higher was prepared. This copper raw material was put into a high-purity graphite crucible, and high-frequency melting was carried out in an atmosphere furnace set as an Ar gas atmosphere to obtain molten copper. Various additive elements were added to the obtained molten copper to prepare the component compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2, and cast into a carbon mold to manufacture ingots. In addition, the size of the ingot was about 20 mm in thickness x about 30 mm in width x about 100 to 120 mm in length. In addition, in the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2, the remainder other than Mg, Cr, and Zr is Cu and unavoidable impurities.
