Copper-Titanium Alloy for Electronic Component

摘要

The present invention controls the fluctuations of Ti concentration in a copper titanium alloy from a perspective different from conventional perspectives to improve the strength and bending workability of the copper titanium alloy. A copper titanium alloy for electronic components comprising 2.0 to 4.0 mass % of Ti, and 0 to 0.5 mass %, in total, of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Mg, Si, Ni, Cr, Zr, Mo, V, Nb, Mn, B, and P as a third element, with the balance being copper and unavoidable impurities, wherein a coefficient of variation in a Ti concentration fluctuation curve is 0.2 to 0.8, the Ti concentration fluctuation curve being obtained when Ti in a matrix phase for <100>-oriented crystal grains in a cross section parallel to a rolling direction is subjected to line analysis by EDX, and in structure observation of a cross section parallel to the rolling direction, a number of second-phase particles having a size of 3 μm or more per an observation field of view of 10000 μm2 is 35 or less.
