Description

Contact material high-damping Au-Li-Zn gold lithium alloys

Technical field

The present invention relates to technical field of alloy, specifically, is related to a kind of golden lithium alloy.

Background technology

Contact material is one of important materials in electric current transmission and transfer process.Contact material is to prepare electric power, electricity The critical material of switching control and load current electrical equipment (such as switch, relay, starter and instrument and meter) in device circuit. In electric, electronic applications, contact material is mainly used as electric contact, conduction brush, collector ring, commutator segment, commutator segment and connector Deng being functional element important in electric break-make link.Using the motor of electrical contact element, electric switch, relay, connector Part largely uses in fields such as information engineering, home electronic appliance, automobile engineering Deng based on.The property of these electrical contact elements Reliability, stability, precision and the service life of institute's application product and whole system can be directly affected.

Electronic instrument just proposes higher want to high accuracy and miniaturization to the performance of electrical contact element Ask：With excellent electric conductivity, small and stabilization contact resistance, high chemical stability, wearability and arc resistant scaling loss ability. Noble metal contact material and can often nourish above-mentioned advantage, particularly can more show that its is superior under light load and small contact Property.The noble metal contact material being widely used at present is mainly silver, gold, platinum, palldium alloy, and the composite of these alloys With precious metal plating material.Silver alloy is largely used to moderate duty or heavy burden charge electric appliance, and Smaller load electrical contact element uses more Be platinum alloy, palldium alloy, billon.Gold Base Electric Contact Materials gold utensil has a fabulous chemical stability, and contact resistance is low and steady Fixed, electric conductivity and thermal conductivity are good.

Oneself the external electrical conductivity of the material billon of the novel electrical contact through exploitation can't be satisfactory, could not exceed 72%IACS, it is impossible to meet the requirement of modern industry and component to Gold Base Electric Contact Materials conductance and other performance.Exploitation tool Standby property billon has two methods, and one kind is to add alloying element to strengthen matrix by solution strengthening, and another kind is Auri composite is mutually formed by adding second-phase strength.Lithium is added in billon as alloy element and can greatly improved The elastic performance of billon, electric conductivity and other performance.Develop new auri alloy as electric contact material has turned into inevitable.

Redox reaction occurs for the oxygen and nitrogen that golden lithium alloy lithium in fusion process is easy in same surrounding atmosphere, and The oxide and nitride of generation are very loose, it is impossible to prevent the further reaction of alloy liquid and extraneous medium, cause golden lithium The continued oxidation of active element, scaling loss in alloy, significantly limit the commercial Application of such alloy.Golden lithium alloy melting process Key be exactly fire-retardant, this is that chemism when being melted by lithium determines.Typically argon gas is used in golden lithium alloy fusion process Protect to carry out melting, but process is more, somewhat expensive and low production efficiency.The melting of golden lithium alloy can also be covered using flux Cover to protect, such as the villaumite of low melting point.But lithium and most of alloying element are all the very strong elements of activity, can not be kept away Reacted with villaumite in flux and cause to lose with exempting from, the addition of this necessary increasing alloying element of making use of momentum so that billon Production cost improve.Moreover, flux salt because its density is big, can be settled constantly with the extension of time, therefore covering effect is not Can persistently, and portion of flux remains in golden lithium alloy melt as slag and forms field trash, reduces the power of golden lithium alloy Learn performance.In addition, the gas that the anti-burning method of gas shield is commonly used is SF6, but SF6 is a kind of very strong generation greenhouse effects Gas, environmental quality is examined closely again in the mankind and the whole world is just to reduce today of greenhouse effects and unremitting effort, SF6 protections are molten Refining technology receives huge challenge.

Solve golden lithium alloy in an atmosphere melting when produce burning another approach be to add alloy into golden lithium alloy Element, fire-retardant purpose is reached by the method for alloying.Its mechanism of alloying ignition-proof method is added in golden lithium alloy fusion process Add specific alloying element to influence the thermodynamics and dynamics process of alloy oxidation, form the dense oxide with protective effect Film and nitride film, reach the purpose for preventing alloy vigorous oxidation and nitridation.And oxygen of the golden lithium alloy during following process The tendency for changing burning substantially reduces, so as to improve the process safety of billon.But as a kind of structural material, only have Fire resistance during melting can far can not meet requirement, it is often more important that final golden lithium alloy product will also be gathered around simultaneously There is gratifying mechanical strength, the mechanical property that can at least reach conventional golden lithium alloy is horizontal.Thus how to be closed in golden lithium The content of various alloying elements is balanced in gold, prepares electric conductivity that is fire-retardant under atmospheric environment, and possessing excellent, mechanical property Energy and high damping properties, it is a urgent problem to be solved of current golden lithium alloy.

The content of the invention

Present invention aims to overcome that the deficiencies in the prior art, there is provided one kind can be under 1100-1200 degree atmospheric conditions Carry out contact material high-damping Au-Li-Zn gold lithium alloy and its processing technology of melting.And in this temperature range melting Alloy final products have the high conductivity possessed required for Gold Base Electric Contact Materials, high intensity and excellent damping capacity.Should Method also has production cost low, the characteristics of being easy to mass produce.

To achieve these goals, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme that：

One kind has the melting contact material high-damping Au-Li-Zn gold lithium alloys between 1100-1200 degree.By weight hundred Divide and be than meter, the composition of alloy：Li: 0.2-0.8wt.%,Zn:0.2-0.5wt.%,Sn:0.5-1.2wt.%,Bi:0.2- 0.6wt.%,Hf:0.6-0.8wt.%,V:0.2-0.5wt.%,Co:0.1-0.4wt.%,Pt:0.2-0.5wt.%,Ge: 0.1- 0.3wt.%, B:0.2-0.5wt.%, surplus are gold.The golden lithium alloy in fusion process because volatilize and form the reason such as clinker and The weight of loss is in 2.0-5.0wt.% or so.

The preparation method of above-mentioned golden lithium alloy, comprises the following steps：As above the raw material matched is added under atmosphere protection Electric induction furnace in, and use silicon carbide crucible.Sensing heating forms alloy solution to 1100-1200 degree, and is stirred using electromagnetism Effect is mixed to be sufficiently stirred 10 minutes or so.Alloy liquid is incubated 10 minutes in 1100-1200 degree and is poured onto heat top same level equipment Interior carry out semi-continuous casting, it is 8-12m/min that ingot casting, which moves down speed,.Ingot casting is subjected to deformation process at room temperature, every time It is 5-10% to roll lower amount.Every 3 passes need to carry out an intermediate heat-treatment to eliminate processing hardening, and technique is：260 degree, 2.7 hours；Final Heat Treatment Process after rolling is：Vacuum solid solution handles 750 degree, 2.3 hours；Vacuum aging processing 160 Degree, 2.2 hours.

Compared with prior art, the present invention has the advantages that：
