Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1731624A1] A copper alloy that has a specific chemical composition, the balance being Cu and impurities, in which the relationship between the total number N and the diameter X satisfies the following formula (1). This copper alloy is obtained by cooling a bloom, a slab, a billet or an ingot in at least a temperature range from the temperature of the bloom, the slab, the billet or the ingot just after casting to 450°C, at a cooling rate of 0.5°C/s or more. After the cooling, working in a temperature range of 600°C or lower and further heat treatment of holding for 30 seconds or more in a temperature range of 150 to 750°C are desirably performed. The working and the heat treatment are most desirably performed for a plurality of times. logN ‰¤ 0.4742 + 17.629 × exp - 0.1133 × X wherein N means the total number of precipitates and inclusions, having a diameter of not smaller than 1 µm which are found in 1 mm 2 of the alloy; and X means the diameter in µm of the precipitates and the inclusions having a diameter of not smaller than 1 µm.
