Abstract

A clad material includes a first layer made of stainless steel and a second layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy and roll-bonded to the first layer. In the clad material, a grain size of the second layer measured by a comparison method of JIS H 0501 is 0.150 mm or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a clad material, comprising:
softening annealing for softening a first metal plate made of stainless steel and softening a second metal plate made of Cu or a Cu alloy;
temper rolling and hardening the second metal plate after the softening annealing;
clad rolling for rolling and bonding the first metal plate, which has undergone the softening annealing and the second metal plate, which has undergone the temper rolling and hardening, to each other in a state where the first metal plate and the second metal plate are stacked on each other so as to produce a pressure-bonded material; and
diffusion annealing for performing a diffusion treatment on the pressure-bonded material, wherein
the clad material including a first layer made of stainless steel and a second layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy and roll-bonded to the first layer, in which a grain size of the second layer measured by a comparison method of JIS H 0501 is 0.150 mm or less, is produced by reducing a thickness of the second metal plate in the pressure-bonded material before the diffusion annealing to 20% or more of a thickness of the second metal plate after the softening annealing.

2. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , wherein
the thickness of the second metal plate in the pressure-bonded material before the diffusion annealing is reduced to 25% or more and 50% or less of the thickness of the second metal plate after the softening annealing.

3. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , wherein
the diffusion annealing is performed under a temperature condition of 850° C. or more and 1000° C. or less.

4. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 3 , wherein
the diffusion annealing is performed under a temperature condition of 900° C. or more and 1000° C. or less.

5. The method for manufacturing a dad material according to claim 1 , wherein
the temper rolling and hardening the second metal plate is performed such that the thickness of the second metal plate after the temper rolling is reduced to 60% or more and less than 100% of the thickness of the second metal plate after the softening annealing.

6. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 5 , wherein
the thickness of the second metal plate after the temper rolling is reduced to 80% or more and less than 100% of the thickness of the second metal plate after the softening annealing.

7. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , further comprising producing the clad material in which the grain size of the second layer is 0.130 mm or less.

8. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , further comprising producing the pressure-bonded material by softening a third metal plate made of stainless steel in the softening annealing, and rolling and bonding the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate, which have undergone the softening annealing, to each other in a state where the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate are stacked in this order in the clad rolling so as to produce the clad material including the first layer made of the stainless steel, the second layer made of the Cu or Cu alloy and roll-bonded to the first layer, and a third layer made of stainless steel and roll-bonded to a side of the second layer opposite to the first layer, in which the grain size of the second layer is 0.150 mm or less.
