Description

本発明は、ステンレス鋼の表面意匠性、加工性、ばね特性および耐食性を維持しながら、接触電気抵抗を著しく改善したステンレス鋼製導電性部材およびその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a stainless steel conductive member and a method for producing the same, in which the contact electrical resistance is remarkably improved while maintaining the surface designability, workability, spring characteristics and corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

従来、電子部品に使用されるスイッチ、リレー、コネクターなどの接点ばねや皿ばね(タクトスイッチ、マルチスイッチ)の基材には銅系合金が使用されていた。しかし、導電性部材の軽量化、薄肉化の要求およびばね特性が優れることから、銅系合金に代えてステンレス鋼が導電性材料の基材として広く使用されるようになってきた。   Conventionally, copper-based alloys have been used as the base material for contact springs and disc springs (tact switches, multi-switches) such as switches, relays, and connectors used in electronic components. However, since the requirements for weight reduction and thinning of the conductive member and the spring characteristics are excellent, stainless steel has been widely used as a base material for the conductive material in place of the copper-based alloy.

ステンレス鋼表面には、低い電気伝導性を示す不働態皮膜が存在し、これが接触電気抵抗を高くするため、電気接点機能が要求される部品にステンレス鋼部材を用いた場合には問題となる。この不働態皮膜は、酸洗や機械研磨によって除去しても、大気中では短時間に再生してしまう。このため、通常ステンレス鋼は、表面に生成している不働態皮膜を除去した後、その再生を防止しながら、密着性の優れる下地めっきを施し、その上層に電気伝導性が優れる錫-鉛(はんだ)、錫や貴金属の銀、金などがめっきされ、接触電気抵抗を改善した状態で使用される。また、金属めっき以外では、カーボン質被覆層で優れた電気伝導性が付与されたステンレス鋼(特許文献1)や、Cuリッチ層の析出又はCu濃化層を表層に形成したステンレス鋼(特許文献2)が知られている。   A passive film showing low electrical conductivity exists on the surface of stainless steel, and this increases the contact electrical resistance, which causes a problem when a stainless steel member is used for a component requiring an electrical contact function. Even if this passive film is removed by pickling or mechanical polishing, it is regenerated in the air in a short time. For this reason, after removing the passive film formed on the surface, stainless steel is usually coated with an undercoating with excellent adhesion while preventing its regeneration, and tin-lead ( Solder), tin, precious metals such as silver and gold are plated and used in a state where contact electric resistance is improved. In addition to metal plating, stainless steel (Patent Document 1) to which excellent electrical conductivity is imparted by a carbonaceous coating layer, and stainless steel having a Cu rich layer deposited or Cu concentrated layer formed on the surface layer (Patent Document 1) 2) is known.

上述のごとく、ステンレス鋼を電気接点部品の基材として使用する場合、電気伝導性が優れる錫-鉛(はんだ)、錫、銀、金などをステンレス鋼表面にめっきして接触電気抵抗を改善する必要がある。しかしながら、錫ではめっき処理時にウイスカー(ひげ状結晶)が発生し易く、このウイスカー発生を防止できる鉛-錫合金めっきでは、鉛の排液処理が問題となる。また、銀めっきでは、部品として組み込んだ後、イオンマイグレーション(ion migration)が発生し易く、接触不良や絶縁破壊を起こす可能性がある。さらに金では、めっき液にシアンを用いることが多いため、鉛と同様に排液処理が問題となり、製造プロセスとして環境的に好ましくない。   As mentioned above, when stainless steel is used as the base material for electrical contact parts, the electrical resistance is improved by plating the surface of the stainless steel with tin-lead (solder), tin, silver, gold, etc., which has excellent electrical conductivity. There is a need. However, in tin, whiskers (whisker-like crystals) are likely to occur during the plating process, and in the lead-tin alloy plating that can prevent the generation of whiskers, the draining process of lead becomes a problem. In addition, in silver plating, after being incorporated as a part, ion migration is likely to occur, and there is a possibility of causing contact failure or dielectric breakdown. Further, since gold often uses cyan as a plating solution, drainage treatment becomes a problem as in the case of lead, which is not environmentally preferable as a manufacturing process.

なお、金めっきでは0.5μm程度のめっき厚さで使用されることが多いが、めっき皮膜には欠陥が多く存在し、腐食性の強い環境で使用される場合には、金が下地金属の溶出を促進する。これを防止するために、めっき厚さを3μm以上にして皮膜の欠陥を少なくする対策もあるが、製造コストを上昇させる原因となる。
また通常、電気接点ばね部品は、ステンレス鋼の板材やコイル材にめっきした後、プレス打ち抜き成型によって対象部品に加工される。しかしながら、めっき皮膜には内部応力が存在し、これが原因となり、プレス成型後に反りなどが発生して要求される形状が得られないことがある。導電性部材の軽量化、薄肉化の要求が高まれば高まるほど、基材の板厚は薄くなり、このめっき皮膜の内部応力の影響が大きくなる。
Gold plating is often used with a plating thickness of about 0.5μm, but the plating film has many defects, and when used in a highly corrosive environment, gold is eluted from the base metal. Promote. In order to prevent this, there is a measure to reduce the defects of the film by increasing the plating thickness to 3 μm or more, but this causes an increase in manufacturing cost.
In general, the electrical contact spring component is processed into a target component by press punching after plating on a stainless steel plate or coil material. However, there is an internal stress in the plating film, which causes a warp after press molding, and the required shape may not be obtained. As the demand for lighter and thinner conductive members increases, the thickness of the base material becomes thinner, and the influence of the internal stress of the plating film increases.

さらに、カーボン質被覆層で優れた電気伝導性が付与されたステンレス鋼では、多数のピット表面が形成されたステンレス鋼板を基材とし、カーボン質被覆層が基材表面に設けられている(特許文献1)。ピットによるアンカー効果および実効表面積が大きくなることによって、ステンレス鋼基材とカーボン質被覆層は優れた密着性を呈するとされているが、プレス成型などの加工にカーボン質被覆層が追従できるとは考えられず、とくに、浅いピット部ではアンカー効果は低く、密着性、耐久性に問題があると考えられる。   Furthermore, in stainless steel to which excellent electrical conductivity is imparted by the carbonaceous coating layer, a stainless steel plate having a large number of pit surfaces is used as a base material, and the carbonaceous coating layer is provided on the base material surface (patent) Reference 1). Stainless steel substrate and carbonaceous coating layer are said to exhibit excellent adhesion due to the increased anchor effect and effective surface area due to pits, but the carbonaceous coating layer can follow press molding and other processing It is unthinkable, especially in shallow pits, the anchor effect is low, and it is considered that there are problems in adhesion and durability.

Cuリッチ層の析出又はCu濃化層を表層に形成したステンレス鋼(特許文献2)では、Cuの析出熱処理に長時間を要し、製造コストの上昇や、Cuを基材に含有しないSUS304鋼などの汎用鋼では処理が不可能など、問題点も多い。   Stainless steel with a Cu-rich layer precipitation or Cu-enriched layer formed on the surface (Patent Document 2) requires a long time for Cu precipitation heat treatment, resulting in increased manufacturing costs and SUS304 steel that does not contain Cu as a base material. There are many problems, such as being impossible to process with general-purpose steel.

以下実施例を示し、本発明をさらに具体的に説明する。
実施例1
供試材
供試材には板厚が0.2mmのSUS304BA(BA:光輝焼鈍材)を使用した。これを15mm×50mmに切断して試験片とした。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
Example 1
Test material SUS304BA (BA: bright annealing material) having a thickness of 0.2 mm was used as the test material. This was cut into 15 mm × 50 mm to obtain test pieces.

接触電気抵抗測定方法
接触電気抵抗は、株式会社 山崎精機研究所製、電気接点シミュレーター(CRS-113-金型)を使用して測定した。測定プローブには、PU-05金線接触子、0.5mmΦを用いた。印加定電流を10mAとした。また、接触子の最大接触荷重を100gf、移動距離を1mmとして測定を行い、接触荷重-接触電気抵抗分布曲線を求めた。
Contact electrical resistance measurement method Contact electrical resistance was measured using an electrical contact simulator (CRS-113-mold) manufactured by Yamazaki Seiki Laboratory Co., Ltd. The measurement probe used was a PU-05 gold wire contactor, 0.5 mmΦ. The applied constant current was 10 mA. The contact load was measured with a maximum contact load of 100 gf and a moving distance of 1 mm, and a contact load-contact electric resistance distribution curve was obtained.

実験方法
試験片をアセトン中に浸漬して超音波洗浄を施した後、1kmol・m-3LiOH水溶液中で1A/dm2で1分間のカソード電解を行い、蒸留水洗浄〜冷風(25℃)乾燥を行なった後、100℃および200℃で10分間の大気加熱を行なった。また比較例として、SUS304BAに半光沢Niめっきした試験片の接触電気抵抗を測定した。
結果
図1に素材(SUS304BA:光輝焼鈍仕上げ)の接触荷重-接触電気抵抗分布曲線を示す。素材では、瞬間的に接触電気抵抗が低下する挙動は認められるものの、接触荷重が100gfまで、接触電気抵抗は300mΩ以上を保持したままである。
図2に、LiOH水溶液中でカソード電解後、大気加熱処理した試験片の接触荷重-接触電気抵抗分布曲線を示す。素材の接触電気抵抗はLi注入および、その後の100℃大気加熱によって低下し、さらに200℃での大気加熱を行なうことによって急激に低下した。また、200℃で大気加熱処理した試験片の接触電気抵抗は、図3に示す半光沢Niめっき材とほぼ同等になることがわかった。

As a comparative example, the contact electric resistance of a test piece obtained by plating semi-gloss Ni onto SUS304BA was measured.
Results Figure 1 shows the contact load-contact resistance distribution curve of the material (SUS304BA: bright annealed finish). In the material, although the behavior that the contact electrical resistance decreases instantaneously is recognized, the contact electrical resistance remains at 300 mΩ or more up to a contact load of 100 gf.
FIG. 2 shows a contact load-contact electric resistance distribution curve of a test piece subjected to cathodic electrolysis in a LiOH aqueous solution and then subjected to atmospheric heat treatment. The contact electrical resistance of the material was lowered by Li injection and subsequent heating at 100 ° C., and then abruptly decreased by performing atmospheric heating at 200 ° C. Further, it was found that the contact electrical resistance of the test piece heated to the atmosphere at 200 ° C. was almost the same as that of the semi-bright Ni plating material shown in FIG.
