The invention discloses a high-strength high-
conductivity free-
cutting copper alloy material and a preparation method thereof. The
copper alloy material is characterized by comprising the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.6-1.5 percent of Pb, 0.6-1.5 percent of Ni, 0.1-0.5 percent of P, 0.01-0.05 percent of R and the balance of Cu, wherein R is either or both of trace elements, i.e.,
lanthanum and
cerium. The preparation method comprises the steps of
smelting, extruding, cleaning, cold working and annealing. The tensile strength of a processed
bar product is 550-620MPa, the yield strength is 490-560MPa, the electrical
conductivity is more than or equal to 50 percent IACS, the
cutting machining performance is 70 percent (compared with 100 percent of HPb63-3), and the elongation percentage is more than or equal to 3 percent. The
copper alloy material has the properties of high strength,
high conductivity, free
cutting and the like, and a production process is nontoxic and environment-friendly, so that the
copper alloy material can be used for replacing a
beryllium-copper material along with which extremely toxic substances are produced in a production process,.
