Electric and electronic part copper alloy sheet with excellent bending workability and stress relaxation resistance

摘要

An electric and electronic part copper alloy sheet with excellent bending workability and stress relaxation resistance is made from a copper alloy containing 1.5 to 4.0 percent by mass of Ni, Si satisfying a Ni/Si mass ratio of 4.0 to 5.0, 0.01 to 1.3 percent by mass of Sn, and the remainder composed of copper and incidental impurities, wherein the average crystal grain size is 5 to 20 μm, the standard deviation of the crystal grain size satisfies 2σ<10 μm, and the proportion of the number of particles having a particle diameter of 90 to 300 nm in Ni—Si dispersed particles having a particle diameter of 30 to 300 nm is 20% or more, where the particles are observed in a cross-section defined by a direction perpendicular to a sheet surface and a direction parallel to a rolling direction.
