Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of copper alloy materials technology, and specifically relates to a high-strength conductive Cu-Sn-Ti-Cr-Y alloy and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Copper alloys, as the core of conductor materials, are widely used in lead frames for large-scale integrated circuits in industries such as electronics and information, overhead conductors for high-speed rail transportation, resistance welding electrodes for new energy vehicles, switch contact bridges for electrical engineering, and various wires. These critical applications require copper alloys to maintain high conductivity while possessing high strength and wear resistance, thereby extending the lifespan of conductor materials.

[0003] Beryllium copper alloy is a typical age-hardening copper alloy, an ideal ultra-high-strength and conductive copper alloy with excellent tensile strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the electronics industry. However, when beryllium bronze is smelted under non-vacuum conditions, beryllium is easily oxidized, and the resulting oxides can cause harm to the human body, limiting the application areas of beryllium copper. Countries worldwide are searching for and developing new copper alloys with performance comparable to or even superior to beryllium copper alloys, while also being environmentally friendly and harmless. Cu-Ti alloy is similar to beryllium copper alloy, belonging to the age-hardening precipitation-strengthened alloy category and possessing similar mechanical properties. Furthermore, Cu-Ti alloy has low production costs and is pollution-free, making it a promising candidate material to replace beryllium copper alloy. Although Cu-Ti alloy has excellent mechanical properties, its poor electrical conductivity makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high strength and high conductivity. Therefore, improving the electrical conductivity of Cu-Ti alloy while maintaining its excellent mechanical properties is a key research direction for the development and application of this alloy.

[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN 116607046 A discloses a Cu-Y-Ti copper-based composite material for electro-vacuum devices and its preparation method. The prepared Cu-Y-Ti copper-based composite material not only significantly improves the material's strength and resistance to softening, but the addition of rare earth element Y effectively eliminates coarse second phases, which are mainly distributed at grain boundaries and within grains, thus refining the grains and improving the microstructure of the copper alloy. However, the preparation method disclosed in this patent is complex, has a long process flow, and high preparation costs. Furthermore, the obtained Cu-Y-Ti alloy has relatively low strength, with a maximum tensile strength of only 312 MPa. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-strength, high-conductivity Cu-Sn-Ti-Cr-Y alloy. By adding rare earth elements Y and Sn to the alloy, the precipitation of the CuSn3Ti5 phase during aging is promoted, thereby increasing the alloy's strength. Simultaneously, the Ti content in the Cu matrix is ​​reduced, weakening electron scattering and improving the alloy's conductivity. The addition of Cr promotes the precipitation of Cr-containing phases, hindering dislocation movement and thus increasing the alloy's strength. This achieves both improved conductivity and maintained ultra-high strength in the copper alloy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] This invention provides a high-strength conductive Cu-Sn-Ti-Cr-Y alloy, wherein the alloy raw material composition by weight percentage is Sn: 2.3-2.6%, Ti: 0.8-1.2%, Cr: 0.21-0.25%, Y: 0.037-0.042%, and the balance is Cu.

[0008] This invention also provides a method for preparing a high-strength, conductive Cu-Sn-Ti-Cr-Y alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step S1, Ingredient preparation: Prepare alloy raw materials according to the above alloy raw material composition;

[0010] Step S2, Preparation of intermediate alloy: Copper and tin are placed in a vacuum non-consumable arc melting furnace at a weight ratio of 9:1, and the furnace is evacuated to a pressure of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 2 The pressure was then increased to 0.05 MPa by introducing argon gas, and the furnace was heated to 1050–1100 °C for 0.5–1 hour. After natural cooling, a Cu-10% Sn master alloy was obtained for later use. In this step, a vacuum was applied to a pressure of 5 × 10⁻⁶ MPa. 2 Pa is used to reduce the air content in the furnace and prevent the alloy from being oxidized; then argon gas is introduced as a protective atmosphere to protect the alloy from oxidation.

[0011] Copper and titanium were placed in a vacuum non-consumable arc melting furnace at a weight ratio of 9:1, and the furnace was evacuated to a pressure of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 2 Pa, then argon gas is introduced into the furnace to a pressure of 0.05 MPa, heated to 1050-1100℃, smelted for 0.5-1 h, and naturally cooled to obtain Cu-10%Ti master alloy for later use;

[0012] Step S3, Melting, Casting, and Descaling: The Cu-10%Sn master alloy, Cu-10%Ti master alloy, Cr, Y, and the balance Cu are melted in a vacuum medium-frequency melting furnace at 1200℃ for 1 hour. The melt is then cast into a sand mold and cooled to obtain an alloy ingot. The riser is removed from the ingot after demolding, and the surface oxide scale is machined off. The Cu-10%Sn master alloy, Cu-10%Ti master alloy, Cr, Y, and the balance Cu are placed in the melting furnace, and the furnace pressure is adjusted to 6 × 10⁻⁶. -3 The pressure is initially set to MPa, then argon gas is introduced until the furnace pressure reaches 0.05 MPa, at which point melting begins. This pressure ensures a low air content in the alloy, preventing oxidation. The purpose of introducing argon gas is to protect the molten alloy from oxidation.

[0013] Step S4, solution treatment: The alloy sample is kept at 950℃ for 2 hours, then removed and water-quenched.

[0014] Step S5, cold rolling deformation: The alloy sample is subjected to cold rolling deformation, with a deformation amount of 50%;

[0015] Step S6, aging treatment: The alloy sample after cold rolling in step S5 is aged at 400-550℃ for 10-480 min.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The alloy of this invention undergoes cold rolling deformation treatment, resulting in severe plastic deformation and strengthening the copper matrix. The addition of rare earth element Y promotes the formation of fine recrystallized grains during recrystallization, improving the alloy's strength. Furthermore, it promotes the dispersed precipitation of a large number of nano-sized CuSn3Ti5 phases during aging treatment, generating a second-phase strengthening effect and further enhancing the alloy's strength. The reduction in dislocation density and the precipitation of the second phase during recrystallization lower the concentration of solute atoms in the alloy matrix, weakening electron scattering and thus maintaining the alloy's conductivity. This invention offers advantages such as a simple preparation process and a short process flow, enabling wider applications of copper alloys. Attached Figure Description

Aging treatment can affect the concentration of Sn, Ti, and Cr in the matrix and the precipitation behavior of the second phase, thereby affecting the tensile strength and electrical conductivity of the alloy. The addition of rare earth element Y promotes the precipitation of CuSn3Ti5 phase during aging and makes the CuSn3Ti5 phase uniformly distributed, improving the strength of the alloy. In addition, the precipitation of the second phase reduces the concentration of Sn and Ti in the matrix, weakening the scattering effect of the matrix on electrons, thereby improving the electrical conductivity of the alloy. In summary, the Cu-Sn-Ti-Cr-Y alloy prepared by this invention has high strength and good electrical conductivity.
