Abstract

The invention discloses a high-conductivity high-elasticity palladium-based alloy, a heat treatment process and application. The palladium-based alloy comprises, by mass, 40-60 wt.% of Pd, 25-45 wt.%of Cu, 5-15 wt.% of Ag, 1.5-5 wt.% of Ru and 0-2.0 wt.% of modified elements, wherein the modified elements are one or two of La, Ce, Gd, Y, Ga, Zr and B. The heat treatment process comprises the steps of carrying out burdening, carrying out smelting, carrying out casting, carrying out rolling, carrying out annealing, carrying out drawing and carrying out intermediate annealing, and after the intermediate annealing step is completed, aging solution strengthening treatment needs to be carried out on a prepared alloy wire. The conductivity of the palladium-based alloy ranges from 15% to 25%IACS,the elasticity modulus ranges from 115 GPa to 125GPa, the hardness Hv0.1 ranges from 360 to 460, the resistance temperature coefficient ranges from 2.0 to 4.0x10<-4>K<-1>, the yield strength ranges from 1075 MPa to 1125MPa, and the ductility ranges from 2% to 10%. The high-conductivity high-elasticity palladium-based alloy can be used for a micromotor electric brush wire, a potentiometer electricbrush wire and a semiconductor test probe, wherein the probe can be a Cobra probe or a cantilever type probe or a vertical type probe or a spring type probe.
