A kind of optimal technical scheme is characterized in that: the hot rolling in the described step (2) or the optimum temps of forge hot cogging are 750~850 ℃.
The present invention has the following advantages:
(1) excellent property.The quaternary copper base alloy of the present invention preparation has good microtexture, controlledly is made as the equally distributed nearly equi-axed crystal less than 50 μ m; Organization decided this material of the present invention have higher room temperature tensile strength and unit elongation, and have good high high-temp stability, can under 400 ℃ of temperature, work.
(2) preparation is simply pollution-free.Material of the present invention wants environmental protection, safety many with now comparing with the beryllium copper material, and to melting and thermal treatment process require loosely, can be carried out in batches scale operation.
(3) applicability is strong.Because copper base alloy of the present invention has high strength, snappiness and good thermostability, so this material has important value to industry developments such as instrument, elastic element, conduction heat transfer elements.
Why copper base alloy provided by the invention has above-mentioned advantage as the replacement material of beryllium copper, be that radius differs very little, and is all face-centred cubic structure because copper is close with nickel position in the periodic table of elements, so nickel is infinitely solid solution in copper, thereby play the effect of solution strengthening.Adding nickel in the copper is exactly the copper-nickel alloy that is commonly called as.When adding dystectic element in the copper, this element will be as the crystallization forward position of non-spontaneous crystallization forming core, so this dvielement has the effect of crystal grain thinning in crystallisation process.The fusing point of iron is 1537 ℃, and the fusing point of copper is 1083 ℃, but iron and further improves the mechanical property of alloy as adding element crystallization of refinement tissue.Manganese adds in the copper-nickel alloy as alloying element, not only can play the effect of solution strengthening, also can separate out manganese nickel strengthening phase, and the adding of manganese simultaneously helps the refining effect of iron to alloy, improves the mechanical property of alloy.And nickel, manganese content also have remarkably influenced to the intensity and the processing characteristics of copper base alloy, when nickel, manganese content during less than 14wt% the decline of ageing strengthening effect, intensity and the anti-stress corrosiveness of alloy also reduce; When content during greater than 30wt%, the formability variation of copper base alloy.
The present invention is described in detail below by drawings and Examples.It should be understood that described embodiment only relates to the preferred embodiments of the invention, do not breaking away under the spirit and scope of the present invention situation that the changes and improvements of various compositions and content all are possible.
