The invention relates to a
copper-iron
alloy material and a preparation method thereof, and the
copper-iron
alloy material comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 9-17% of Fe, 0.05-0.1% of Nb, 0.1-0.2% of WC, 0.02-0.04% of Mg, and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. The preparation method comprises the following steps: induction melting; performing hot
forging treatment; performing peeling treatment; cold
forging treatment; annealing treatment;
pickling treatment; and cold
forging treatment. The trace
Mg element plays a role in further deoxidation, and the situation that the mechanical and electrical properties are reduced due to the fact that the
oxygen content of the
alloy material is too high is avoided; the trace Nb serves as the core of heterogeneous
nucleation, grain refinement is facilitated, and the low-content Nb basically does not affect the
conductivity of the alloy; and the trace WC particles can further strengthen the matrix and improve the high-temperature
softening resistance of the alloy. In addition, the problem of segregation of Fe and WC is solved by adopting a spray
deposition process, and the method is simple in process, high in production efficiency and easy to apply to industrial production.
