Abstract
A method for manufacturing a copper alloy according to the present invention comprises (a) weighing a copper powder and one of a Cu—Zr master alloy and a ZrH2 powder such that an alloy composition of Cu-xZr (x is the atomic % of Zr, and 0.5≤x≤8.6 is satisfied) is obtained and pulverizing and mixing the copper powder and the one of the Cu—Zr master alloy and the ZrH2 powder in an inert atmosphere until an average particle diameter D50 falls within the range of from 1 μm to 500 μm to thereby obtain a powder mixture; and (b) subjecting the powder mixture to spark plasma sintering by holding the powder mixture at a prescribed temperature lower than eutectic temperature while the powder mixture is pressurized at a pressure within a prescribed range.
