Abstract:
To provide a silver-white copper alloy which represents a silver-white color equivalent to that of nickel silver and is excellent in hot workability and the like. The silver-white copper alloy includes 47.5 to 50.5 mass % of Cu, 7.8 to 9.8 mass % of Ni, 4.7 to 6.3 mass % of Mn, and the remainder including Zn, and the silver-white copper alloy has an alloy composition satisfying relationships of f1=[Cu]+1.4×[Ni]+0.3×[Mn]=62.0 to 64.0, f2=[Mn]/[Ni]=0.49 to 0.68, and f3=[Ni]+[Mn]=13.0 to 15.5 among a content [Cu] mass % of Cu, a content [Ni] mass % of Ni, and a content [Mn] mass % of Mn, and has a metal structure in which β phases at an area ratio of 2 to 17% are dispersed in an α-phase matrix. The copper alloy is provided as a hot processing material or continuous casting material formed by performing one or more heat treatments and cold processes on a hot processing raw material formed by performing a hot process on an ingot or a casting raw material obtained by continuous casting.
