Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, although precipitation-strengthened copper alloy materials have been widely used in metallurgy and other industrial fields, they have not yet been practically applied to railway contact wires. The reason is that the contact wires are longer, so that the volume and weight of the whole rod blank are larger; The requirements for smelting equipment are very high, and it is necessary to prevent the oxidation of alloy elements; the large-volume billet is not easy to be heated evenly during solid melting, and the solid-melting effect becomes poor; the large-volume copper alloy solid-melting furnace is expensive

Abstract

The invention discloses the manufacture methods of a contact wire and a rod blank. The manufacture method of the contact wire comprises the following steps: manufacturing a plurality of precipitation-strengthened copper alloy oxygen-free cast rods by smelting; preprocessing the oxygen-free cast rods to obtain a plurality of blank rods; connecting the plurality of blank rods seamlessly; feeding the connected blank rods to an extruder for continuous extrusion, and cooling the extruded contact wire rod blanks; cold-rolling the contact wire rod blanks, and subjecting to aging treatment; and cold-drawing the contact wire rod blanks for multiple times according to the predetermined section size of the contact wire to obtain the contact wire. The method can simplify the smelting and thermal treatment of the precipitation-strengthened copper alloy contact wire material. The manufactured contact wire has the advantages of fine and dense grains, higher mechanical strength, good conductivity, and better physical performance, and can meet the length requirement for railway construction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power supply wires, in particular to a method for preparing a contact wire and a rod blank. Background technique [0002] Electrified railway contact wire is one of the power supply wires used in the worst working environment, and its performance directly affects the safe operation of high-speed trains. The high-speed railway contact wire has a large rated working tension, and is constantly impacted and rubbed by the pantograph during long-term operation, and needs to endure arc ablation, temperature changes and the influence of the environment. In this case, the contact wire is required to have high tensile strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, good high temperature softening resistance, and good electrical conductivity for energy saving requirements. These are only the required material properties of the wire itself. In practical application, issues such as wire production cost, large-lengt...
