Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal processing, and in particular to a high-strength and high-conductivity silver ribbon for a fuse and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Pure silver strips are widely used as melt materials in the fuse industry because of their excellent electrical conductivity. At present, the thickness of pure silver strips used as fuse melt materials is mainly 0.08-0.15mm, and the resistivity is required to be less than 16.40. Due to the increasing price of pure silver raw materials, in order to reduce costs and control consumption, melt materials are gradually developing towards ultra-thinness. However, in the process of using pure silver to process ultra-thin pure silver strips, due to the poor mechanical properties of pure silver, when rolling ultra-thin strips, in order to control the strip shape, the winding and unwinding tension needs to be increased. The low mechanical properties of pure silver can easily lead to broken strips during rolling. On the other hand, pure silver strips need to be punched into narrow diameters when making fuses. The insufficient strength of pure silver can easily lead to breakage at the narrow diameter during punching.

[0003] Therefore, people have adopted a variety of solutions. One solution is a silver sheet for fuses disclosed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN109686630A. Although the resulting melt has good electrical conductivity and self-arc extinguishing ability, the melting point is suitable and has excellent processing performance, the solution adopts a structure of silver-copper alloy wrapped with pure silver. The conductivity of the silver-copper alloy is between that of silver and copper, and is lower than that of pure silver. This is because the presence of different atoms in the alloy interferes with the conduction of electrons. Inside the alloy, the lattice structure will change due to the mixing of two different metal atoms. When electrons move in this complex lattice, they will be subject to more scattering, thereby reducing the conductivity of the entire silver sheet, so it cannot be used in fuses with higher-end requirements and more sensitive response requirements.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing a silver ribbon for fuses having high strength and high conductivity and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a silver ribbon for fuses having high strength and high conductivity and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned object of the invention, the present invention provides a high-strength and high-conductivity silver strip for a fuse, comprising pure silver and a strengthening agent, wherein the mass of the strengthening agent is 0.005-0.01% of the mass of the pure silver, and the strengthening agent is one or a mixture of several selected from zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, calcium boride and zirconium boride.

[0007] Furthermore, the purity of the pure silver is ≥99.99%.

[0008] Furthermore, the purity of the enhancer is ≥99.9%.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the high-strength and high-conductivity silver ribbon for the fuse, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Ingredients: weigh the required raw materials;

[0011] (2) Vacuum melting: pure silver is placed in a vacuum induction furnace to obtain pure silver melt;

[0012] (3) Adding a strengthening agent: introducing argon gas into the silver melt obtained in step (2) for protection, the melting temperature is 1100-1200° C., and the strengthening agent is added after keeping the temperature for 5-10 minutes;

[0013] (4) casting: casting the silver melt containing the strengthening agent obtained in step (3) into a mold;

[0014] (5) Turning: turning the pure silver ingot obtained in step (4) to remove surface cold shut defects;

[0015] (6) hot forging: hot forging the ingot obtained in step (5) into a pure silver billet to remove shrinkage defects;

[0016] (7) Planing: The pure silver blank obtained in step (6) is planed to remove surface hammer mark defects and perform chamfering;

[0017] (8) Rolling: The pure silver billet obtained in step (7) is rolled.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the smelting temperature is 1150-1250° C., and the smelting time is 40-50 min.

[0019] Furthermore, the silver melt containing the strengthening agent obtained in step (4) is tilted and swung for 5-10 times, and then cast into a mold at a melt temperature of 1100-1200°C.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (6), the initial hot forging temperature is 500-600° C., and a pure silver billet of 35×80 mm is forged in one pass.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (8), a slab mill and a finishing mill are used to roll the finished silver strip into a 0.02-0.15 mm pure silver finished strip.

[0022] Furthermore, the pass processing rate is 20-25%.

[0023] Furthermore, the thickness of the silver strip is less than 0.05 mm.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are that a small amount of strengthening agents such as zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, calcium boride and zirconium boride are added to the pure silver solution during smelting, and after smelting and pouring, the strengthening agents are finely dispersed at the silver grain boundaries, thereby hindering grain dislocation. On the other hand, when the strengthening agents are added, the pure silver preferentially adheres to the strengthening agents for heterogeneous nucleation during solidification, increasing the nucleation rate, thereby achieving the effect of grain refinement. The present invention significantly improves the mechanical properties of pure silver and reduces the risk of rolling broken strips by adding non-metallic strengthening agents while ensuring that the resistivity of pure silver meets the requirements of pure silver for fuses, thereby improving the yield rate of preparing silver strips with a thickness of less than 0.05 mm.

[0025] The inventor's experiments show that after the silver strip of the present invention is added with a strengthening agent, the resistivity still meets the resistivity requirement of pure silver strip for fuse (<16.40μΩ·mm), while the tensile strength can reach up to 303MPa, and the yield rate can reach up to 56.8%, both of which are significantly improved, significantly improving the mechanical properties of pure silver, and solving the problems of ultra-thin silver strip being easy to break during rolling, and being easy to break at the narrow diameter during stamping due to insufficient strength when used to make fuse pieces.

[0098] (4) Casting: After the silver melt containing the strengthening agent obtained in step (3) is tilted and swung for 10 times, it is poured into a mold at a melt temperature of 1150-1200° C.;

[0103] The resistivity, tensile strength and yield rate of the above comparative examples and embodiments were analyzed, wherein the resistivity test was performed in accordance with GB / T351-2019 (Method for measuring the resistivity of metal materials); the tensile strength test was performed in accordance with GB / T228.1-2021 (Metallic material tensile test Part 1: Room temperature test method); the yield rate was obtained based on the ratio of the weight of the finished silver strip with a thickness of 0.02 mm to the weight of the smelting feed. The results are shown in the following table:

[0104] Example additive Proportion / % Resistivity / μΩ·mm Tensile strength / MPa Yield rate / % Comparative Example / / 16.12 244 37.3 Example 1 Calcium Oxide 0.005 16.28 276 46.6 Example 2 Zirconia 0.006 16.24 282 48.2 Example 3 Zirconium boride 0.007 16.33 290 54.6 Example 4 Calcium boride 0.008 16.20 293 55.1 Example 5 Calcium oxide + zirconium oxide 0.009 16.32 297 56.3 Example 6 Calcium boride + zirconium boride 0.01 16.36 303 56.8

[0105] It can be seen from the above table that compared with the control example without adding a strengthening agent, after adding the strengthening agent to Examples 1 to 6, although the resistivity is slightly increased, it still meets the resistivity requirement of pure silver strip for fuses (<16.40μΩ·mm), and the tensile strength and yield rate are significantly improved.

[0106] In addition, Figure 2 and Figure 3It can also be seen from the metallographic photographs that the conventional pure silver metallographic structure of the comparative example has almost no heterogeneous nucleation, while the pure silver metallographic structure of Example 1 has obviously many heterogeneous nuclei of the strengthener, which are in the form of dark dots or strips. The strengthener is finely dispersed at the silver grain boundaries, thereby hindering grain dislocation; it also shows that pure silver preferentially adheres to the strengthener heterogeneous nucleation during solidification, increasing the nucleation rate, thereby achieving the effect of grain refinement.
