The preferable of one of described lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy consists of: copper: 58~63wt%, bismuth: 0.4~1.4wt%, antimony: 0.06~0.8wt%, boron: 0.0006~0.03wt%, other element: 0.2~1.0wt%, described other element is at least two kinds of elements that are selected from titanium, nickel, iron, tin, phosphorus, the rare earth metal, all the other are zinc and unavoidable impurities, and content plumbous in the unavoidable impurities is less than 0.1wt%; The copper zincification adds bismuth and adds antimony and add boron greater than 97.5wt% and be not more than 99.8wt% in the described alloy composition, and wherein zinc is greater than 35.5wt%.
The phase composite of one of described lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy is: based on α, β two-phase, the bismuth that is uniformly distributed in intracrystalline and crystal boundary with free state mutually, a small amount of tiny hard crisp phase that contains compound between antimony metal that is uniformly distributed in the solid solution attitude of crystal boundary.
One of described lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy is to utilize bismuth and antimony to substitute lead, based on bismuth, further improves the cutting ability of alloy with the auxiliary bismuth of antimony; Based on boron, improve the anti dezincification character energy of alloy with auxiliary boron such as antimony, tin simultaneously.
The adding of bismuth can improve the machinability of alloy.The solid solubility of bismuth in copper is extremely low, even the solubleness in the time of 800 ℃ also only 0.01%, but the solubleness in the liquation is very big, bismuth precipitates in process of setting, form the second phase particle of disperse, the disperse phase fusing point of this bismuth lower (271.3 ℃), in the contact surface local heating of cutter head and bits and instant melting, this fuse effect helps to change the shape and the lubricated cutter of smear metal, make alloy in machining, easily form short chip breaking point thereby play, bonding between minimizing cutter head and the workpiece and seam and the effect that improves cutting speed, and then make alloy have satisfied cutting ability.But bi content was greater than 1.5% o'clock, can cause the brittle failure increase, our employing is that advocating peace with the antimony that adds easy formation sosoloid is the alloying scheme of assisting with the bismuth that adds low levels for this reason, make the stibiated metallic compound of easy cutting chip breaking (nontoxic with solid solution, healthy form is present in the alloy) embrittlement mutually also accumulates near the crystal boundary, make this alloy obtain more excellent cutting ability and other over-all properties, thereby reached based on bismuth, assist bismuth further to improve the purpose of the cutting ability of alloy with antimony, this alloy has been obtained as the excellent cutting ability of leaded brass.Add simultaneously some crystal grain thinnings again, suppress dezincify and control other element of trace that the alloy brittle failure is inclined to, and then make that stibiated metallic compound is more tiny to be evenly distributed on the crystal boundary, and make bismuth metal be uniformly distributed in intracrystalline and crystal boundary, make alloy in machining, easily form short chip breaking point, increased over-all propertieies such as the cutting ability of alloy and anti-corrosion anti dezincification character effectively, thereby made the low antimony bismuth brass alloys obtain to resemble cutting ability excellent the leaded brass, good cold and hot processability, castability, welding property and mechanical property.Can be widely used in the casting of optoelectronic components, household electrical appliances, automobile component of electronics, telecommunication, computer, tap water engineering, five metals, machinery, photographic apparatus and cold and hot moulding, easily cut the component production.
Bismuth and antimony are the elements of strengthening and improve the alloy cutting ability, based on bismuth, with the auxiliary bismuth of antimony.Bi content did not satisfy the machinability requirement less than 0.3% o'clock in this alloy, and bi content with reducing the hot and cold processability of alloy and the mechanical property of alloy sharply being descended, has also increased cost greater than 1.5% o'clock simultaneously.For making full use of the characteristic that bismuth can improve cutting ability, also to prevent the brittle failure tendency that excessive bismuth can cause hot and cold processability and mechanical property to descend simultaneously, the content of bismuth is 0.3~1.5% in alloy.Such content is controlled under the condition that does not contain other cutting elements such as antimony, the cutting coefficient of this alloy is reached about 80%, but be also to have added auxiliary antimony element simultaneously on 0.3~1.5% the basis at bi content, make it auxiliary bismuth and obtained more excellent cutting ability (cutting coefficient is 86~95%) and excellent corrosion resistant performance, mechanical property, and then reach the requirement of environmental protection, healthy alloy material with the bismuth acting in conjunction.
The auxiliary antimony element that adds proper content mainly has been the effect that auxiliary bismuth further improves the cutting ability and the distinctive inhibition dezincify performance of alloy.When the interpolation content of antimony less than 0.05% the time, auxiliary bismuth is improved the cutting ability DeGrain, and it is not obvious to improving the anti dezincification character effect, and the auxiliary content that adds was greater than 1.0% o'clock, though it is bigger that auxiliary bismuth improves cutting ability, but it is also very obvious that the plasticity of this alloy reduces, and also increased cost simultaneously.So through facts have proved that the auxiliary content that adds antimony is 0.05~1.0%, just can play the effect that auxiliary bismuth improves the cutting ability of this alloy, make this alloy have more excellent cutting ability (cutting coefficient is 86~95%), anti dezincification character energy and good cold and hot processability, welding property and favorable mechanical performance.
The solubleness of bismuth in copper is extremely low, and bismuth also is to be present in the alloy with free state.But different with lead is, bismuth is to be present in the alloy with nontoxic free state, rather than resembles and be present in the alloy with deleterious free state the lead.Not to the limits value of bismuth, yet nobody points out that bismuth is harmful material in WHO (World Health Organization) the drinking-water quality control criterion.
The antimony of low levels all has certain solubleness in copper and zinc, so antimony is to be present in the alloy with the nontoxic solid solution attitude of low levels, and is water insoluble, rather than resemble and be present in the alloy with deleterious free state the lead.Through electronic probe and transmission electron microscope observing, preferential and the zinc formation sosoloid of antimony in this alloy, and accumulate near the crystal boundary, free machining short chip breaking point formed, make stibiated metallic compound embrittlement be evenly distributed on mutually on the crystal boundary, further improved the cutting ability of this alloy.
This alloy improves the anti dezincification character energy of alloy based on boron with auxiliary boron such as antimony, tin.Adding boron mainly has been the effect that suppresses dezincify, improves corrosion resisting property, and the function of deoxidation, crystal grain thinning, enhancing cutting ability is also arranged simultaneously.Because the boron atomic radius is littler than zinc atom radius; therefore the easier diffusion of boron atom ratio zinc atom when brass is corroded can preferentially be captured the room and then be stopped up the diffusion admittance of zinc atom, increases the resistance of zinc diffusion; form anti-corrosion protective membrane, thereby reach effect as the inhibition Dezincification corrosion of arsenic.Simultaneously antimony also easily and zinc form the Solid solution compound, can suppress dezincify equally, thereby play the auxiliary boron and the effect of acting in conjunction raising alloy anti dezincification character with it.
The add-on of boron is advisable 0.0002~0.05%.Boron content is less than 0.0002% o'clock, to suppressing dezincify and anti-corrosion DeGrain; Boron content was greater than 0.05% o'clock, and boride is easily separated out at crystal boundary, caused " boron is crisp ", reduced the alloy processability.
Except adding boron, in this brass, add other element such as trace tin and can further improve the anti dezincification character energy, make it to reach the leaching standard and the ISO6509 dezincify standard of coherent element in the copper alloy of international tap water mechanism defined.
Zinc content helps the raising of cutting ability and the enhancing of wear resisting property greater than 35.5%, but too high meeting influence cold forming capability and alloy strength.
The effect that at least two kinds of elements in titanium in described other element, nickel, iron, tin, phosphorus, the rare earth metal add, the one, deoxidation, crystal grain thinning; The 2nd, with the lead formation metallic compound in the impurity, strengthen crystal boundary, and make stibiated metallic compound embrittlement more tiny being evenly distributed on the crystal boundary mutually, and make bismuth metal be uniformly distributed in intracrystalline and crystal boundary, also can suppress the poly-brittle failure tendency of bismuth phase and stibiated embrittlement skew simultaneously, and then satisfy the cutting ability of the excellence of industrial needs, good cold and hot processability and welding property; The 3rd, suppress dezincify, strengthen corrosion resisting property and stress corrosion performance.Described other element total content does not reach satisfied cutting ability and grain-boundary strengthening effect less than 0.2%; Other element total amount though can make the further refinement of alloy, suppresses dezincify greater than 1.2%, can form other more hard crisp phase, does not satisfy the cold forming capability in back step, has also increased cost simultaneously, and effect is promoted the use of in influence.
Adding titanium mainly has been deoxidation and crystal grain thinning effect, and general addition is 0.001~0.15% to be advisable, and less than 0.001% DeGrain, can increase cost greater than 0.15%, and make the castability reduction.
Nickel is matrix strengthening and stops the dezincify element, suppresses grain growth simultaneously, increases alloy strength, plasticity and solidity to corrosion, also can improve the ability of alloy stress corrosion resistant simultaneously.Nickel content is less than 0.1%, is difficult to satisfy every performance requriements of industrial needs, and nickel content can increase the manufacturing cost of alloy again and reduce cutting ability greater than 0.6%, so nickel content should be controlled at 0.1~0.6%.
Iron mainly has been crystal grain thinning with rare earth metal, has stoped grain growth, control β to change the effect of quantity mutually, can improve softening temperature, strengthen intensity, improves cold and hot processability.Another vital role of rare earth metal is deoxidation.Iron level generally is controlled at 0.1~0.3%, and iron level is less than 0.1%, and grain refinement effect is not obvious; Iron level can reduce corrosion resisting property and electrodepositable performance greater than 0.3%.Rare earth metal is good alterant and refining scavenging agent, solid solution is in copper hardly, it can form high melting point metal compound with the impurity lead in the alloy, is distributed in intracrystalline, improves plasticity, the wear resistance of alloy, impel grain refining, facilitate the more tiny uniform distribution of metallic compound on the crystal boundary, general add-on is 0.003~0.4%, and adding with the lanthanum is the mishmetal better effects if of base, can increase electric conductivity and anti-dezincify ability, the too high flowability that can reduce alloy.
The same with antimony, interpolation tin, phosphorus also are that auxiliary boron strengthens the performance of anti-dezincify, stress corrosion and improves the thermo forming performance, make it to reach the standard of international environment protection health security regulations.Secondly in this brass, add the flowability of tin, all right deoxidation of phosphorus, increase alloy, improve the cutting ability and the intensity of alloy.Tin is solution strengthening and the element that suppresses dezincify, strengthen matrix together with antimony, boron, phosphorus, help being uniformly dispersed and the formation of strengthening phase of each phase, help the raising of intensity, wear resistance and cutting ability, particularly help anti dezincification character can and the raising of thermoforming performance.The content of phosphorus generally is controlled at 0.005~0.2% and is advisable.The content of tin generally is controlled at 0.1~0.4% and is advisable, and too high meeting reduces cutting ability.
Even lead and cadmium are as the unavoidable impurities element, the lead content in the impurity also must be less than 0.1%, and cadmium content must be less than 0.001%.According to the leaching amount detected result of the correlation detection standard in the international tap water engineering, this lead, cadmium content had both met international environmental protection and had ordered requirement within a certain time, caused public hazards can for again environment and human health.

This alloy improves the anti dezincification character energy of alloy based on boron with auxiliary boron such as antimony, tin.Adding boron mainly has been the effect that suppresses dezincify, improves corrosion resisting property, and the function of deoxidation, crystal grain thinning, enhancing cutting ability is also arranged simultaneously.Because the boron atomic radius is littler than zinc atom radius; therefore the easier diffusion of boron atom ratio zinc atom when brass is corroded can preferentially be captured the room and then be stopped up the diffusion admittance of zinc atom, increases the resistance of zinc diffusion; form anti-corrosion protective membrane, thereby reach effect as the inhibition Dezincification corrosion of arsenic.Simultaneously antimony also easily and zinc form the Solid solution compound, can suppress dezincify equally, thereby play the auxiliary boron and the effect of acting in conjunction raising alloy anti dezincification character with it.
The add-on of boron is advisable 0.0002~0.05%.Boron content is less than 0.0002% o'clock, to suppressing dezincify and anti-corrosion DeGrain; Boron content was greater than 0.05% o'clock, and boride is easily separated out at crystal boundary, caused " boron is crisp ", reduced the alloy processability.
Except adding boron, in this brass, add other element such as trace tin and can further improve the anti dezincification character energy, make it to reach the leaching standard and the ISO6509 dezincify standard of coherent element in the copper alloy of international tap water mechanism defined.
Zinc content helps the raising of cutting ability and the enhancing of wear resisting property greater than 35.5%, but too high meeting influence cold forming capability and alloy strength.
The effect that at least two kinds of elements in titanium in described other element, nickel, iron, tin, phosphorus, the rare earth metal add, the one, deoxidation, crystal grain thinning; The 2nd, with the lead formation metallic compound in the impurity, strengthen crystal boundary, and make stibiated metallic compound embrittlement more tiny being evenly distributed on the crystal boundary mutually, also can suppress the poly-brittle failure tendency of bismuth phase and stibiated embrittlement skew simultaneously, and then satisfy the good cutting performance of industrial needs, good cold and hot processability and welding property; The 3rd, suppress dezincify, strengthen corrosion resisting property and stress corrosion performance.Described other element total content does not reach satisfied cutting ability and grain-boundary strengthening effect less than 0.2%; Other element total amount though can make the further refinement of alloy, suppresses dezincify greater than 1.6%, can form other more hard crisp phase, does not satisfy the cold forming capability in back step, has also increased cost simultaneously, and effect is promoted the use of in influence.
Adding titanium mainly has been deoxidation and crystal grain thinning effect, and general addition is 0.001~0.15% to be advisable, and less than 0.001% DeGrain, can increase cost greater than 0.15%, and make the castability reduction.
Nickel is matrix strengthening and stops the dezincify element, suppresses grain growth simultaneously, increases alloy strength, plasticity and solidity to corrosion, also can improve the ability of alloy stress corrosion resistant simultaneously.Nickel content is less than 0.1%, is difficult to satisfy every performance requriements of industrial needs, and nickel content can increase the manufacturing cost of alloy again and reduce cutting ability greater than 0.6%, so nickel content should be controlled at 0.1~0.6%.
Iron mainly has been crystal grain thinning with rare earth metal, has stoped grain growth, control β to change the effect of quantity mutually, can improve softening temperature, strengthen intensity, improves cold and hot processability.Another vital role of rare earth metal is deoxidation.Iron level generally is controlled at 0.1~0.3%, and iron level is less than 0.1%, and grain refinement effect is not obvious; Iron level can reduce corrosion resisting property and electrodepositable performance greater than 0.3%.Rare earth metal is good alterant and refining scavenging agent, solid solution is in copper hardly, it can form high melting point metal compound with the impurity lead in the alloy, is distributed in intracrystalline, improves plasticity, the wear resistance of alloy, impel grain refining, facilitate the more tiny uniform distribution of metallic compound on the crystal boundary, general add-on is 0.003~0.4%, and adding with the lanthanum is the mishmetal better effects if of base, can increase electric conductivity and anti-dezincify ability, the too high flowability that can reduce alloy.
The same with antimony, interpolation tin, phosphorus also are that auxiliary boron strengthens the performance of anti-dezincify, stress corrosion and improves the thermo forming performance, make it to reach the standard of international environment protection health security regulations.Secondly in this brass, add the flowability of tin, all right deoxidation of phosphorus, increase alloy, improve the cutting ability and the intensity of alloy.Tin is solution strengthening and the element that suppresses dezincify, strengthen matrix together with antimony, boron, phosphorus, help being uniformly dispersed and the formation of strengthening phase of each phase, help the raising of intensity, wear resistance and cutting ability, particularly help anti dezincification character can and the raising of thermoforming performance.The content of phosphorus generally is controlled at 0.005~0.2% and is advisable.The content of tin generally is controlled at 0.1~0.4% and is advisable, and too high meeting reduces cutting ability.
Even lead and cadmium are as the unavoidable impurities element, the lead content in the impurity must be less than 0.03%, and cadmium content must be less than 0.001%.This lead, cadmium content had both met international environmental protection and had ordered requirement within a certain time, caused public hazards can for again environment and human health, and adapt to environmental friendly material development trend in the future.
Three of above-mentioned lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy of the present invention is anti-Dezincification corrosion performance, the anti-stress corrosion performances with good cutting performance, excellence, the leadless free-cutting brass alloy with the wholesomeness of more being strict with that helps environmental protection, health of good cold and hot processability, mechanical property and welding property.Can be widely used in the casting of optoelectronic components, toy for children, household electrical appliances, automobile component of electronics, telecommunication, computer, tap water engineering, five metals, machinery, photographic apparatus and cold and hot moulding, easily cut the component production.
After adding elements such as bismuth, antimony, boron three kinds of lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloys invention of three from one of above-mentioned lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy of the present invention to above-mentioned lead-free free-cutting low antimony bismuth brass alloy of the present invention, machinability, solidity to corrosion and anti dezincification character improve widely.The disperse phase particle that the brass alloys that these copper contents are lower contain α phase, β phase, bismuth is hard mutually crisp with other a spot of compound that contains between antimony metal, tinyly be evenly distributed on crystal boundary and intracrystalline and the precipitation strength effect is arranged, improved the cutting ability of alloy, increase the chip breaking point of short bits, also strengthened solidity to corrosion, anti dezincification character, wear resistance, mechanical property and the cold and hot processability of alloy simultaneously.
