Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of copper alloy manufacturing, and in particular to white copper with good shielding performance and high yield strength and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] White copper is a copper-based alloy with nickel as the main added element. It is silvery white and has a metallic luster, hence the name white copper. Copper and nickel can be infinitely dissolved in each other to form a continuous solid solution, that is, no matter how much the proportion of each other is, it is always an α-single-phase alloy. When nickel is melted into red copper and the content exceeds 16%, the color of the resulting alloy becomes as white as silver. The higher the nickel content, the whiter the color. The nickel content in white copper is generally 25%. The main function of white copper is to make mobile phone shielding covers, so it is not only required to have good mechanical properties, but also to have low electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability, so that it can have good shielding properties. With the development of the mobile phone industry, the weight of mobile phones is required to be lighter and lighter, so the thickness of the mobile phone shielding cover needs to be thinner. However, after the thickness of white copper becomes thinner, its tensile strength and yield strength will decrease, which will lead to problems in the stamping process, which will greatly increase the scrap rate of mobile phone shielding covers made of white copper, increase production costs, and limit its promotion and application in industry.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the tensile strength and yield strength of white copper without affecting the shielding performance of white copper has become a technical problem to be solved urgently in this field. Summary of the invention
