[0038] This invention also provides a method for preparing the copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:
[0039] (1) The alloy raw materials are sequentially melted, horizontally continuously cast and milled to obtain a cast billet;
[0040] (2) The billet obtained in step (1) is subjected to bell-type annealing to obtain the first annealed strip;
[0041] (3) The first annealed strip obtained in step (2) is subjected to initial rolling to obtain an initial rolled strip;
[0042] (4) The initial rolled strip obtained in step (3) is continuously annealed to obtain the second annealed strip;
[0043] (5) The second annealed strip obtained in step (4) is precision rolled to obtain a precision rolled strip;
[0044] (6) The finely rolled strip obtained in step (5) is subjected to low-temperature annealing to obtain a copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy.
[0045] This invention involves sequentially melting, horizontally casting, and milling alloy raw materials to obtain a cast billet.
[0046] This invention does not specifically limit the type and source of the alloy raw materials; high-purity metals or recycled waste can be used, as long as the chemical composition of the cast billet meets the requirements of the copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy. In this invention, the recycled waste preferably includes milling and rolling waste generated during the preparation of the copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy; the amount of recycled waste is preferably more than 50 wt% of the total alloy raw materials. This invention uses recycled waste as the alloy raw material. Since the recycled waste consists of milling and rolling waste generated during the preparation of the copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy, its composition is controllable. This not only ensures that the chemical composition of the copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy meets the requirements, but also enables the reuse of waste, saving significant production costs.
[0047] The present invention does not impose any special limitations on the specific temperature and time of the melting process; these can be determined based on the technical common sense of those skilled in the art.
[0048] In this invention, the preferred temperature for horizontal continuous casting is 1150–1200°C. This invention does not impose any specific limitations on the actual operation of the horizontal continuous casting; it can be determined based on the technical knowledge of those skilled in the art.
[0049] In this invention, the thickness of the milled surface is preferably 1.0–2.0 mm / surface, more preferably 1.5 mm / surface. This invention eliminates segregation layers and oxide layers through milling.
[0050] After obtaining the cast billet, the present invention performs bell-type annealing on the cast billet to obtain the first annealed strip.
[0051] In this invention, the preferred temperature for bell-type annealing is 750–850°C, more preferably 800°C; the preferred holding time for bell-type annealing is 6–10 h, more preferably 6–8 h; and the preferred cooling method for bell-type annealing is water quenching. This invention achieves recrystallization and eliminates Sn element segregation inside the cast billet through bell-type annealing.
[0052] After obtaining the first annealed strip, the present invention performs initial rolling on the first annealed strip to obtain the initial rolled strip.
[0053] In this invention, the total deformation of the initial rolling is preferably 85-95%, more preferably 88-92%; the deformation per pass of the initial rolling is preferably 5-20%, more preferably 6-15%. This invention, through multi-pass rolling with large deformation, can break up coarse grains in the casting state, significantly heal cracks, reduce or eliminate casting defects, transform the as-cast structure into a deformed structure, and improve the alloy's machinability.
[0054] After obtaining the initial rolled strip, the present invention performs continuous annealing on the initial rolled strip to obtain the second annealed strip.
[0055] In this invention, the temperature of the continuous annealing is preferably 950–1000℃, more preferably 970–1000℃; the rate of the continuous annealing is preferably 1.0–2.5 m / min, more preferably 1.5–2.0 m / min. This invention, through continuous annealing, can eliminate the internal stress of copper alloys caused by rolling, improve the alloy's plasticity, and thus prevent problems such as cracking during subsequent rolling processes. Simultaneously, it can also play a homogenization role, making the internal structure of the alloy more uniform.
[0056] After obtaining the second annealed strip, the present invention performs precision rolling on the second annealed strip to obtain precision rolled strip.
[0057] In this invention, the total deformation of the finishing rolling is preferably 20-30%, more preferably 25-30%; the deformation per pass of the finishing rolling is preferably 2-15%, more preferably 5-7%. This invention, through finishing rolling, enables the sheet and strip material to achieve the required thickness.
[0058] After obtaining the precision-rolled strip, the present invention performs low-temperature annealing on the precision-rolled strip to obtain a copper-nickel-tin wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant copper alloy.
[0059] In this invention, the temperature of the low-temperature annealing treatment is preferably 350–400°C; the duration of the low-temperature annealing treatment is preferably 6–10 hours, more preferably 8–10 hours. By performing a final low-temperature annealing treatment, this invention can generate a modulated decomposition structure, thereby significantly improving the physical properties of the copper alloy.
