The present invention obtains following technique effect:
1. the present invention comprises the silicon of 0.05~0.20wt%, and the content of silicon is too low, does not have the enhancing effect, and too high meeting causes resistivity too large, affects electric conductivity, and the too high levels of silicon, can reduce by conductor elongation, and easily brittle failure affects wire-drawing effect.
2. the magnesium that adds in alloy of the present invention is easy to be combined with silicon, make and follow-up processing procedure in, the small Mg that diffusion-precipitation distributes in aluminum substrate easily
2Si and comprise the molecule of other element, can obviously improve the tensile strength of aluminium alloy wire, if the percentage composition of magnesium is lower than 0.1%, the effect of strengthening is also not obvious, on the other hand, the adding of magnesium elements can also be put forward heavy alloyed corrosion resistance, has corrosive occasion so that automotive line can be used in some; If the addition of magnesium elements is too high, too large on the electric conductivity impact, reduce conductance, the present invention is based on institute's gold conjugate, selected the addition of suitable magnesium elements.
3. the present invention is under above-mentioned intensifying method, also add simultaneously copper and iron, to play the tensile strength of further enhancing aluminum-alloy wire, especially under existing alloying component proportioning, the iron of adding, it strengthens mechanism mainly is solution strengthening, not only play the increase effect, for existing aluminium alloy, add simultaneously and can also play plasticization, the elongation that guarantees monofilament can reach 10%, to guarantee to pull out 0.5mm or thinner aluminium alloy monofilament.Its reason is, under existing composition proportion, for other element strengthens, the enhancing better effects if of a small amount of iron, its adding greatly reduces the addition of required silicon and other intensified element in the aluminium alloy, and its solution strengthening mechanism makes it possible to putting forward the comprehensive plasticity of raising that the high-intensity while can also be relative.Because iron affects less to the electric conductivity of aluminium, therefore can join at most the content of 0.8wt%, also can realize good strengthening effect.
