Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-performance copper alloy and a powder preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of copper alloy and powder metallurgy materials.

[0002] technical background

[0003] Cu-Cr-Zr alloy has good electrical and thermal conductivity, but also has high strength, good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature and low cycle fatigue resistance, and is widely used in electrical, electronic, transportation and machinery manufacturing and other fields.

[0004] At present, Cu-Cr-Zr series copper alloys are mainly produced by casting. However, the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy is prepared by smelting and casting technology, the melt cooling rate is slow, resulting in coarse microstructure and composition segregation, and the formation of coarse hard second phase particles, which are difficult to eliminate through subsequent processing, seriously reducing the alloy properties . High-temperature solid solution (920-980°C) ...
