The invention discloses a
tellurium-
copper alloy material and a preparation method and application thereof, and the
tellurium-
copper alloy material comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.4-0.7% of Te, 0.004-0.012% of P, 0.05-0.15% of Zr, 0.01-0.05% of Cd, 0.01-0.05% of Ge, less than or equal to 9 ppm of
oxygen, and the balance of
copper and inevitable impurities. Wherein the
tellurium-
copper alloy material contains
intermetallic compounds Te2Zr, TeCd and GeTe, the particle
diameter of the
intermetallic compounds is 1-20 nm, and the number of the
intermetallic compounds per 0.1 mm < 2 > area is more than 1000.
Metal zirconium,
cadmium and
germanium are added into the tellurium-
copper alloy and react with
metal tellurium to generate an intermetallic compound, enrichment of tellurium particles at the
grain boundary is reduced or eliminated, and meanwhile, in the
casting process, stepped heating is adopted,
extrusion parameters are controlled, and the tellurium-
copper alloy material with excellent
machining performance and the like is obtained. The method is simple, short in process and high in production efficiency, and has wide application prospects in the fields of electronic appliances and the like.
