Abstract:
This free-cutting copper alloy contains Cu: more than 57.5% but less than 64.5%, Si: more than 0.20% but less than 1.20%, Pb: more than 0.001% but less than 0.20%, Bi: more than 0.10% but less than 1.00%, and P: more than 0.001% but less than 0.20%, with the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities, wherein the total amount of Fe, Mn, Co and Cr is less than 0.45%, the total amount of Sn and Al is less than 0.45%, relationships of 56.3≤f1=[Cu]−4.8×[Si]+0.5×[Pb]+0.5×[Bi]−0.5×[P]≤59.5 and 0.12≤f2=[Pb]+[Bi]<1.0 are satisfied.
