Benefits of technology

[0016] The invention requires to add a dispersing agent in the molten-metal. The dispersing agent acts to obtain a carbide dispersed, strengthened copper alloy in which the carbide particles are sufficiently evenly dispersed. As the dispersing agent, one or more elements are selected from magnesium, chromium, silicon, and alminium. In particular, magnesium can attain the most advantageous effect among these dispersing agents.

Problems solved by technology

However, these known strengthened coppers have been little commercially produced because of a significantly high production cost due to their long, complicated production processes.
However, a satisfactory result has not been attained.
However, such stirring apparatuses are high in installation cost, and moreover, this method provides only a product having a low tensile strength of the order of 400 N / mm.sup.2 (newton / square millimeter).
A carbide weight unit less than 0.5 can not achieve a satisfactory effect in carbide strengthening, while a carbide weight unit more than 20 significantly decreases the product alloy in formability.
A dispersing agent weight unit less than 0.1 can not achieve a satisfactory agent effect, while a dispersing agent weight unit more than 2 makes the product alloy brittle to decrease a shock-resistant performance thereof.

[0023] The resulted data in Table 2 show that the electric conductors made of the carbide dispersed, strengthened copper alloys according to the invention have a sufficient strength at a high temperature (400.degree. C.), and also has a desired electrical conductivity.

[0024] Particularly, the electric conductor to which trichrominium dicarbide was added has a tensile strength of 649 N / mm.sup.2 at 400.degree. C., which is greater than twice of the strength of 301 N / mm.sup.2 of the pure copper conductor at the same high temperature. Moreover, the electric conductor has a satisfactory conductivity which is 60% of that of the pure copper conductor.

Abstract

A carbide dispersed, strengthened copper alloy includes copper as a major constituent, carbide particles, and a dispersing agent. The carbide particles consist of one or more carbides selected from chromium carbide, tungsten carbide, molybdenum carbide, and tantalum carbide. The dispersing agent consists of one or more elements selected from magnesium, chromium, silicon, and aluminum.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to a strengthened copper including a dispersed carbide.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] To provide an electrically conductive material having a sufficient strength in a high temperature, there has been used a strengthened copper including dispersed particles consisting of alumina or the like. The strengthened copper may be called a particle dispersed, strengthened copper. The strengthened copper is produced basically by a process of powder metallurgy. For example, regarding an oxide strengthened copper, a powder copper raw material is mixed with copper oxide powder. Subsequently, the particles of the copper oxide powder can be evenly dispersed in matrices of the copper elements during oxidation due to the copper oxide powder. Meanwhile, a carbide dispersed copper is obtained by mixing a powder copper raw material with a carbide in a mechanical alloying process.[0005] Thus produced copper alloys are formed into electric co...
