Method for producing metal components and metal component produced in this way

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing metal components, consisting at least partially of a copper alloy, comprising the following alloy components in wt. %: 0 wt. %<Sn≤8 wt. %; 0 wt. %<Zn≤6 wt. %; 0.1 wt. %≤S≤0.7 wt. %; optionally no more than 0.2 wt. % phosphorus; optionally no more than 0.1 wt. % antimony; and optionally iron, zirconium and/or boron alone or in a combination of two or more of said elements of no more than 0.3 wt. %; and unavoidable impurities, and the rest being copper. The method comprises the following stages: (a) melting the copper alloy: (b) producing press blanks from the copper alloy; and (c) pressing the press blanks at a suitable pressing temperature to form the metal components. The invention also relates to a metal component which has been produced according to a method of this type.
