Abstract
A hairspring material for a mechanical timepiece includes an alloy which contains 37.5 to 39.5% by mass of Ni, 9.2 to 9.9% by mass of Cr, 0.35 to 0.55% by mass of Ti, and 0.6 to 0.9% by mass of Be, based on the total amount of the alloy, and contains in the remainder Fe and unavoidable impurities, the alloy being an alloy containing, as the unavoidable impurities, C (carbon), Mn in an amount of more than 0% by mass but not more than 0.5% by mass and Al in an amount of more than 0% by mass but less than 0.03% by mass, the amount of the C (carbon) being limited to not more than 0.03% by mass. The hairspring material can provide a smaller variation in Young's modulus than that of conventional hairspring materials.
