Abstract

The method is for manufacturing a clad material ( 30 ), which includes: clad rolling for rolling and bonding a first metal plate ( 131 ) made of stainless steel, a second metal plate ( 132 ) made of Cu or a Cu alloy, and a third metal plate ( 133 ) made of stainless steel in a state in which the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate are stacked in this order. The clad rolling is performed with a pressure-bonding load of 4.4×10 3 N/mm or more. The second layer is made of Cu or a Cu alloy. The third layer is made of stainless steel. The clad material has an overall thickness of 1 mm or less.

Claims (9)

1. A method for manufacturing a clad material, comprising:

clad rolling for rolling and bonding a first metal plate made of stainless steel, a second metal plate made of Cu or a Cu alloy, and a third metal plate made of stainless steel in a state in which the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate are stacked in this order; wherein

the clad rolling is performed with a pressure-bonding load of 4.4×10 3 N/mm or more such that the clad material including a first layer made of the first metal plate, a second layer made of the second metal plate and roll-bonded to the first layer, and a third layer made of the third metal plate and roll-bonded to a side of the second layer opposite to the first layer, the clad material having an overall thickness of 1 mm or less, in which in a cross-sectional view along a stacking direction, a minimum thickness of the first layer in the stacking direction and a minimum thickness of the third layer in the stacking direction are 70% or more and less than 100% of an average thickness of the first layer in the stacking direction and an average thickness of the third layer in the stacking direction, respectively, is produced,

the second metal plate is subjected to temper rolling,

a grain size of the second layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is 0.150 mm or less, and

an elongation of the clad material is 8% or more and 13.5% or less.

2. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure-bonding load is set to 4.9×10 3 N/mm or more.

3. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises work hardening the second metal plate subjecting the second metal plate to the temper rolling after annealing.

4. The method for manufacturing a clad material according to claim 3 , wherein the temper rolling is performed in such manner that a thickness of the second metal plate after the temper rolling is 60% or more and less than 100% of the thickness of the second metal plate before the temper rolling.
