[0002] Elastic copper alloy is the key material for conductive elastic devices. When it is used in ships, aerospace, electrical and electronics, machine instruments, automobile industry, rail transportation, ocean transportation and other fields, it requires high performance, including tensile strength. The strength is greater than 1100MPa, the elongation is greater than 8%, and the electrical conductivity is greater than 20% IACS, etc.; although the elastic copper alloy prepared by traditional process steps such as melting and casting, hot rolling, solid solution, and cold rolling has high strength and good electrical conductivity , but the plasticity is not enough to meet the needs of the current industry
