Problems solved by technology

The conductivity of pure copper is very high, but the hardness is very low. In order to improve the hardness of copper, the method commonly used at present is through alloying, and alloying has inherent disadvantages: it significantly reduces the electrical conductivity of copper, such as the alloy developed in my country. Cu-1.0Ni-0.25Si-0.1Zn has a hardness of 160HV, but its electrical conductivity is only 61%IACS; Cu-0.15Fe-0.05P-0.1Zn has a hardness of 155HV, and its electrical conductivity is 75%IACS
However, when the in situ synthesis method is used, the volume fraction of the enhancer is limited
In addition, there are methods such as rapid solidification and spray molding. Although these methods can obtain metal matrix composites with uniform density and fine reinforcements, they are too economical to be applied on a large scale.

Embodiment 1

[0035] The grade of the copper plate in this embodiment is TU1, and the size is 100 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 1 mm in thickness. The copper plate is heat-treated in advance at 600° C. in an argon atmosphere, and annealed after 2 hours. The completely annealed copper plate is subjected to surface treatments such as deoxidation and degreasing. Spread graphite powder on the copper plate. The volume of graphite powder accounts for 0.1% of the volume of the entire composite material (copper + graphite). The graphite powder evenly covers the upper surface of half of the copper plate. The copper plate is centered and folded to cover the graphite powder. Press the half-fold tightly, and then roll it at room temperature without lubrication. Repeat the above procedure (surface treatment on the rolled copper plate, no graphite powder added, fold in half along the rolling direction, and then roll). The purity of graphite powder is 99%, and the particle size is ~48μm. The industri...

Embodiment 2

[0042] The graphite powder is sandwiched between the pure copper copper plates that have been fully annealed, deoxidized and degreasing treated. The volume of graphite powder accounts for 0.1% of the volume of the entire composite material (copper + graphite), and then it is used with no lubrication at room temperature. In the same process as in Example 1, cumulative rolling was continuously performed 30 passes.

[0043] The grade of the copper plate in this embodiment is TU1, and the size is 100 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 1 mm in thickness. The copper plate is heat-treated in advance at 600° C. in an argon atmosphere, and annealed after 2 hours. The completely annealed copper plate is subjected to surface treatments such as deoxidation and degreasing. The graphite powder has a purity of 99% and a particle size of about 48 μm. The industrial rolling mill is adopted, and the rolling speed is 187mm / min. During each rolling pass, the reduction in the thickness direction of ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-hardness high-conductivity cooper-carbon composite and a preparation method thereof. According to the method, graphite powder is evenly sandwiched between completely annealed and degreased pure copper plates of which oxidation films are removed, and then the copper plates are subjected to continuous accumulative rolling for many times. Under the action of rolling force, graphite particles are crushed and refined, layers in graphite are gradually separated, and a graphene structure having a remarkably strengthening effect is formed. With increase of rolling passes, carbon (including graphite and graphene) are not only dispersed in a surface parallel to the rolling direction along with lengthening of a sample in the rolling process, but also rapidly dispersed in the thickness direction of the sample. In the accumulative rolling process, copper base bodies generate a strain strengthening effect, so that the uniform high-hardness high-conductivity cooper-carbon composite is obtained finally. The composite has good hardness and comprehensive conductivity. The hardness of the composite can be 3.3 times that of pure copper, and the conductivity of the composite is higher than 90% IACS. The method is simple is preparation process, low in cost and beneficial to large-scale industrial application.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-hardness and high-conductivity copper-carbon composite material and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of composite materials. Background technique [0002] With the development of industry, many application fields, such as electric locomotive contact wires, integrated circuit lead frames, electrical connectors, resistance welding electrodes, etc., require copper materials to maintain excellent electrical conductivity while also having high hardness and wear resistance. performance. The conductivity of pure copper is very high, but the hardness is very low. In order to increase the hardness of copper materials, alloying is the commonly used method at present, and alloying has inherent disadvantages: it significantly reduces the electrical conductivity of copper, such as the alloy developed in my country. Cu-1.0Ni-0.25Si-0.1Zn has a hardness of 160HV, but its conductivity is only 61% IACS; Cu-...
