Problems solved by technology

The chromium-zirconium copper used for switch contacts on the market has a high-temperature softening temperature of about 550 °C. A large number of studies have shown that the coherent fcc-Cr in the alloy plays a decisive role in the strength, high-temperature stability, and conductivity of the alloy, but at higher temperatures At this time, the coherent fcc-Cr phase in the alloy is easily transformed into the incoherent bcc-Cr phase, resulting in a decline in the overall performance of the alloy, which cannot meet the development requirements of related industries.

Put the balance of pure Cu and sufficient dehydrated charcoal into the heating furnace, smelt in the atmosphere, heat to 1200 ℃, and then put the pure copper sheet wrapped with Cu-Cr, Cu-Zr master alloy and pure Ti into the furnace. In the copper liquid, the temperature of the alloy solution in the furnace was controlled at 1140 °C for 3 minutes, and dehydrated charcoal was added twice to further reduce the burning loss of the alloy. Then the upward continuous casting is carried out to prepare the Φ=13 mm alloy rod.

Abstract

The invention discloses a copper alloy material and a method thereof. The high-thermal-stability copper alloy consists of the following components: 0.30-0.80 wt.% of Cr, 0.04-0.20 wt.% of Zr, 0.05-0.15 wt.% of Ti, impurities contained in pure copper, and the balance Cu. The preparation method of the alloy includes several steps: upward drawing continuous casting, cold drawing, solid solution, colddrawing, aging, and cold drawing. Trace elements Cr and Zr with little influence on the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy and a Ti element with significant influence on the strength of thealloy are selectively added. The addition of the Ti element is combined with deformation heat treatment, so the coherent precipitated phase can be stabilized, the nucleation of a bcc-Cr phase in the aging process is inhibited, the material always has the microstructure characteristics of an fcc-Cr phase coherently precipitated with a matrix, and excellent comprehensive properties can be obtained.In the premise of guaranteeing slight reduction of the electrical conductivity of the copper alloy, the mechanical properties of the alloy are greatly improved, the tensile strength reaches 630-730 MPa, the electrical conductivity reaches 65-85% IACS, and the softening temperature is still remained at 610-660 DEG C.
