Abstract

The invention relates to a copper alloy, in particular to a lead-free free-cutting copper alloy. From 55.0-89%Cu, 3.0-45%Zn, 0.1-10%Sn, 0.1-2.0%Ni, 0-5.0%Si, 0.1-5.0%Bi, 0.1-3.0%Se, 0.01-1.0%Al, 0.05 -0.15%P, 0.01%-0.5%RE composition. RE, bismuth, selenium and phosphorus are added as rare earth copper, copper bismuth, copper selenium, phosphorus copper master alloy or bismuth selenium, phosphorus copper alloy respectively. The invention can eliminate the harm of lead to the environment and human body in the process of production, use and recycling; has good cutting performance, mechanical performance and thermal processing performance; good flow performance, good casting performance, and small thermal cracking tendency; production The process is simple and can be prepared on existing lead brass production equipment; the content of bismuth, selenium and rare earth is low, and the production cost will not be increased too much.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a copper alloy, especially a lead-free copper alloy. Background technique [0002] Brass is used in technical fields such as machinery manufacturing, electrical components, building materials and public health engineering. In order to obtain good mechanical properties and cutting properties, lead is often added to lead-copper alloys. For example, the copper alloy pipe fittings used for water supply are generally cast with C84400 and C83600 copper alloys. However, the lead content of C84400 copper alloy is 7%, and the lead content of C83600 is also 5%. When these two lead-containing copper alloy casting pipe fittings are used in the water supply system, the lead in the pipe fittings will be partially dissolved in the water. According to scientific determination, the lead content in the water can reach more than 50ppm. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and health, people pay more and more attention to lea...
