Cuamp;#x2014;Coamp;#x2014;Niamp;#x2014;Si alloy for electronic components

摘要

The present invention provides a Cu—Co—Ni—Si alloy for an electronic component having improved reliability in which in addition to high strength and high electrical conduction, bendability generally difficult to achieve with strength is also provided to a Corson copper alloy. The present invention is a Cu—Co—Ni—Si alloy for an electronic component comprising 0.5 to 3.0% by mass of Co and 0.1 to 1.0% by mass of Ni, a concentration (% by mass) ratio of Ni to Co (Ni/Co) being adjusted in the range of 0.1 to 1.0, the alloy comprising Si so that a (Co+Ni)/Si mass ratio is in the range of 3 to 5, and comprising a balance comprising Cu and unavoidable impurities, wherein a coefficient of variation of concentration ratios of Co to Ni (Co/Ni) measured for at least 100 second-phase particles is 20% or less.
