Problems solved by technology

In addition, in this ultra-fine copper alloy stranded wire, although the main purpose of improving the bending characteristics in the plastic deformation field is to ensure the elongation characteristics to be 5% or more, but for the emphasis on the elongation characteristics, the tensile Intensity must decrease
Therefore, especially for the use of cables for electronic equipment or cables for medical equipment using ultra-thin wires with a diameter of 0.025mm or less, such as probe cables for ultrasonic diagnostic equipment or cables for ultrasonic endoscopes, there is a need for strength. Insufficient, insufficient flexibility

[0083] Fabrication of Cu-Ag alloy wires.

[0084] Add 2.0% by weight of silver to oxygen-free copper, elongation (%). Furthermore, as the evaluation of heat resistance, heat processing was performed at 350 degreeC for 5 second, and the intensity change of the tensile strength after that was compared. Then wire drawing is carried out until the wire diameter is 0.025-0.010 mm, and an ultra-fine copper alloy wire is obtained. Then, the obtained ultrafine copper alloy wire is heat-treated under heat treatment conditions within a prescribed range to produce an ultrafine copper alloy wire.

[0172] Manufacture of 43AWG coaxial cables.

[0173] 2.0% by weight of silver was added to oxygen-free copper, and after heating and melting in a graphite crucible fixed in a vacuum box, a graphite mold was used to continuously cast to produce a Φ8mm wire billet. Thereafter, through wire drawing, intermediate annealing, wire drawing, and Ag plating on the final wire to make the coating thickness reach 1 μm, and then wire drawing to obtain a wire diameter of 0.023 mm to obtain an ultra-fine copper alloy wire. Seven such 0.023 mm Ag-plated copper alloy wires (Cu-2%Ag) were prepared and twisted at a pitch of 1.1 mm to produce a twisted wire with an outer diameter of 0.069 mm. Then, the obtained twisted wires were subjected to five types of moving heat treatments in a heat treatment furnace heated at 350° C. to obtain ultrafine copper alloy twisted wires.
