Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of material technology, and in particular to a copper alloy material for a camera lens of an automobile road network. Background Art

[0002] In the 5G camera system, the optical module is a key component. In order to meet the application needs of the era of lightweight and miniaturized optical modules, the performance requirements of the module materials have been further improved. For example, the gasket for optical lenses is designed to be thinner and more complex in structure, and the corresponding processing precision requirements are higher. Bismuth brass is the preferred material for gaskets. Due to the coarse structure of bismuth brass and the size and distribution of bismuth phase, its cutting performance is difficult to meet the needs of precision processing and needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve at least one of the above technical defects, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0004] This application document discloses a copper alloy material for a camera lens of an automobile road network, and the composition formula is as follows by mass: Zn 20-30%, P 0.05-0.08%, Bi 0.6-0.8%, Sn 0.06-0.09%, Ce 0.01-0.03%, and the balance is copper;

[0005] In the forming process of the copper alloy material, the refining agent components include 10-20% potassium fluoroborate, 20-30% potassium fluorotitanate, 20-40% potassium fluorozirconate, and 15-30% sodium tetraborate by mass.

[0006] In this scheme, alloy formula and refining agent components are designed. Multiple components in the refining agent are shared, the grains and structure of the formed copper alloy are refined, the bismuth phase distribution is improved, and the cutting performance is outstanding.

[0007] Furthermore, pure copper is melted and covered with charcoal, and Zn, P, Sn, Bi, and Ce are added to the copper liquid in sequence according to the component formula, and then refined with a refining agent to form an ingot. The order of adding alloy elements is limited, which helps to improve the performance of the subsequent formed copper alloy material.

[0008] Furthermore, the temperature is raised to 930-1000°C and then kept warm, and then a refining agent is added. The refining agent is wrapped with copper foil, and the adding form of the refining agent is limited, so that it is convenient to immerse under the liquid surface, which helps to improve the refining effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the ingot is cut and then heat treated at a temperature range of 300-620°C. According to the composition ratio of the alloy, a specific heat treatment temperature range is defined, which helps to further improve the precipitation morphology and distribution of the bismuth phase and further enhance the cutting performance of the copper alloy material.

[0010] Furthermore, during the heat treatment, the temperature is first raised to 600-620°C, kept warm for 0.7-1.2h, then cooled to 300-350°C, kept warm for 20-40min, raised to 400-420°C, kept warm for 0.5-1h, then cooled to 300-320°C, kept warm for 2-3h, taken out and air-cooled. Limiting the heat treatment heating and cooling process helps to improve the distribution of the bismuth phase.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating and cooling speed during the heat treatment is 200-260°C / h.

[0012] Furthermore, the refining agent components include, by mass, 12% potassium fluoroborate, 28% potassium fluorotitanate, 35% potassium fluorozirconate, and 25% sodium tetraborate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The copper alloy formula and the corresponding refining agent formula designed by the present invention are helpful to improve the grain and organizational morphology of the formed copper alloy, improve the cutting performance of the copper alloy, and are suitable for application in the fields of lenses and the like.
