Patent ID: 11746404

Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a beryllium copper alloy ring including: providing a columnar forged material made of a beryllium copper alloy, opening a hole from a center of an upper surface of the columnar forged material in a direction parallel to a central axis of the columnar forged material to make a ring intermediate product, performing ring forging on the ring intermediate product, thereby expanding the hole such that a reduction ratio of 63% or more is achieved to make a ring-forged product, wherein the reduction ratio is specified by the following expression: P=100×(T−t)/T, wherein P represents the reduction ratio (%), T represents a thickness (mm) of the ring intermediate product, and t represents a thickness (mm) of the ring-forged product, and performing a solution annealing and a precipitation hardening on the ring-forged product to make the beryllium copper alloy ring.
