A kind of continuously casting high strength and high conductivity copper alloy
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of novel high-strength high-conductivity copper alloy and preparation method thereof, belongs to cuprio electrical alloy material neck
Domain.
Background technology
High strength and high conductivity copper alloy is referred to takes into account high intensity and excellent again while with excellent conduction, heat conductivility
The alloy of different high-temperature behavior, its major requirement is that the intensity that alloy is made on the premise of conductivity and thermal conductivity is not lost is carried
It is high.Resistance welding electrode that Cu alloy material is mainly used as in the industries such as electric power, electrician, electronics, the energy, traffic, lead frame, lead
The materials such as electric bridge, it may also be used for substitute poisonous beryllium-bronze, Allen's metal etc. and make relay bearing and high-low pressure interconnecting devices etc..
At present, both at home and abroad this kind of alloy is mainly had by its chemical composition, intensity and conductivity etc.:Cu-Cr-Zr、Cu-Ag、Cu-Mg、Cu-
Sn, Cu-Cr or Zr alloy, Cu/Al2O3, Cu/RE2O3Deng, tensile strength 500MPa~600MPa, conductivity 80%~90%
IACS, this kind of alloy has higher mechanical property and conductive, heat conductivility.
In recent years, with the development of high-strength highly-conductive electric material related application industry, such as high ferro, large scale integrated circuit, super
High voltage power transmission and transforming circuit etc., puts forward higher requirement, for example to traditional copper alloy as electric material:Keep high in room temperature and high temperature
Conduction, heat conductivity, hardness is high, wear-resistant, with good non-deformability and processing characteristics etc..For many years, the field
The research of new material focuses primarily upon copper-transition element, such as:Cu-Zr, Cu-Cr, Cu-Ni-Ti, Cu-Be-Co etc..Prepare
Technology is the methods such as alloy casting, processing and heat treatment.Reinforcing means are working hardening, solution strengthening or ageing strengthening etc..Though
So these methods make moderate progress to the performance and use range of Cu alloy material, but hard to materials conductive rate, elevated temperature strength, high temperature
Degree and the thermostrength such as softening temperature are almost without significantly improving.
Kunming Institute of Precious Metals on the basis of long campaigns electrical alloy and rare earth element applied research and exploitation,
Select rare metal (Zr, Mo) with mixed heavy rare earth element (Yb, Gd, Er) as additive, find rare metal and rare earth unit
Element effectively promotes the structure refinement process of Cu alloys, forms compound and rare earth oxide between heterogeneous metal, and uniformly
Be distributed on the transgranular and crystal boundary of alloy, hence it is evident that improve materials microstructure structure, improve the mechanical property and height of material
Warm intensity, softening temperature etc., however, less to the plasticity and resistivity effects of alloy material.
Therefore, using addition rare metal and mixed rare-earth elements, with reference to vacuum melting alloying, rapid solidification is continuously cast
Make, the optimization of the advanced machining technology such as cold drawn processing and heat treatment it is integrated, be novel copper-based electrical alloy material and product plus
Work provides new way.
The content of the invention
The invention discloses a kind of continuously casting high strength and high conductivity copper alloy and preparation method thereof.The present invention adopts continuous metal cast process
The chemical composition of the CuZrMoYbGdEr alloys of production is uniform, can continuous charging, melting and casting, accomplish scale production, bar stock
Oxygen content≤20PPM, oxide-free, be mingled with, shrinkage cavity, the defect such as loose;Preparation high yield rate, low cost, large-scale production
Copper alloy composition even tissue, performance are unanimously good, good with conductive, heat conductivity, and room temperature strength is high, wear-resistant, softening temperature and
The features such as conductivity is high, Jing following process and heat treatment, alloy has excellent combination property.
1st, the chemical analysis (weight %) of copper alloy of the invention are:0.05~3.0Zr, 0.05~3.0Mo, 0.05~
3.0Yb, 0.05~3.0Gd, 0.05~3.0Er, balance of Cu.
2nd, the preparation method of Cu alloy material is prepared according to following process steps:
(1) (vacuum in frequency smelting furnace in a vacuum:<1×10- 2Pa), by the Zr for according to chemical composition preparing, Mo, Yb,
Gd, Er, Cu element, melting is alloy pig.
(2) after continuous casting furnace being warming up to into 1000 DEG C~1200 DEG C, the alloy pig in step (1) is added, is melted;
The argon that purity >=99.99% is passed through in stove is stirred and protects, and makes alloying component uniform, and oxidative slagging is few.
(3) after alloy is completely melt, refine 30min~40min starts continuously casting, a diameter of Φ of continuous casting bar
10mm- Φ 20mm bars, the speed of continuously casting is 30mm/min~60mm/min.
(4) the complete stove of continuous casting need to such as continue founding, and stove domestic demand stays alloy part material, then carries out by step (1), (2), (3)
Continuously casting, so repeatedly, until having cast all alloys.
(5) cold drawn cogging, using wire drawing machine alloy cogging and processing are carried out, and pass deformation is controlled 20%~30%,
Heat treatment temperature is 600 DEG C~700 DEG C, and the time is 3h~5h.
(6) it is surface-treated, removing surface is carried out using mechanical polishing and hand inspection.
(7) further according to use requirement, then the polish of silk material is carried out, finally prepares CuZrMoYbGdEr high-strength highly-conductives
Copper alloy product.
