Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of alloy preparation, and specifically relates to a high-strength, high-conductivity, high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Copper-chromium-zirconium copper alloy not only has high strength and high conductivity, but also provides excellent thermal stability, corrosion resistance and processing performance, while maintaining good fatigue tolerance. It is widely used in automotive terminal connectors, high-density lead frames and other fields, especially in the application field of integrated circuit lead frames. However, with the rapid development of science and technology, as well as the needs of electronic product integration, lightweight and large-scale integration of integrated circuits, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the strength and conductivity of copper alloys. Especially in terms of conductivity, the lead frame plays a role in connecting the chip and the outside in the plastic package, so it is required to have good conductivity. In addition, when designing the circuit, sometimes the ground wire is connected to the base of the lead frame through the isolation wall of the chip, which requires it to have good conductivity. Some integrated circuits have a higher operating frequency. In order to reduce parasitic effects such as capacitance and inductance, the conductivity of the lead frame is required to be higher. The higher the conductivity, the smaller the impedance generated by the lead frame, and the less heat generated. Most of the high-performance copper alloy materials for high-end lead frames in my country are low-end, and high-end key products mainly rely on imports, and the self-sufficiency rate is seriously insufficient.

[0003] At present, there have been a lot of studies on Cu-Cr-Zr alloys at home and abroad. Although the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the alloy can be effectively optimized by adding trace elements and rare earths, this will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost. Many studies have shown that deformation heat treatment process is also an effective way to improve the performance of the alloy. Although the strength of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloys currently studied has basically reached more than 550MPa, most of the electrical conductivity is still around 80%IACS, and the elongation after fracture is basically maintained below 10%. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a high-strength, high-conductivity and high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy and a preparation method thereof, which specifically adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-strength, high-conductivity and high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: S1. Place copper, Cu-Cr master alloy and Cu-Zr master alloy in a vacuum medium frequency induction furnace. -2 Pa or more until the material is completely melted, the vacuum is turned off, and then a protective gas is introduced to keep the temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, and then the heating is stopped, and an ingot of a copper alloy material is cast under the protective gas; S2, placing the alloy ingot in a holding furnace for homogenization treatment, and then performing hot rolling treatment; S3, subjecting the hot-rolled alloy ingot to a solution treatment at 850°C to 1000°C, and keeping the temperature for 1 h to 2 h to obtain an alloy plate; S4, subjecting the alloy sheet to a first cold rolling deformation; and then subjecting the alloy sheet to a first aging treatment; the aging treatment temperature is 350°C to 500°C, and the holding time is 4 h to 6 h; S5. The alloy plate after the first aging treatment is subjected to a second cold rolling deformation; and then subjected to a second aging treatment; the aging treatment temperature is 350°C to 450°C, and the holding time is 1 h to 3 h, to obtain a high-strength, high-conductivity, and high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy.

[0005] The present invention controls the Cr content of the alloy ingot to be less than 0.8 wt%, and the Zr content to be less than 0.07 wt%. The alloy content is intentionally reduced to reduce the scattering of electrons by solute atoms to improve the electrical conductivity, and the cost can be reduced. A large number of defects are introduced through the initial rolling process to provide a favorable nucleation position for fine precipitates, and in turn, more dislocations and deformation twins are formed in the final rolling process. The first aging treatment is then carried out to introduce a nano-precipitate phase, which can pin the dislocation movement during the second rolling process, and provide a uniform nucleation position for the formation of the precipitate phase during the aging process after cold rolling. The second cold rolling is then carried out to control the deformation within 20%, so that the dislocation accumulation inside the alloy can be further increased and the grain boundary change can be ensured not to be too large to reduce the influence on the electrical conductivity of the alloy. Finally, the secondary aging is carried out, and the aging temperature and time are regulated to control the size, quantity and morphology of the secondary precipitate phase to avoid the influence of recovery softening on the mechanical properties of the alloy. Therefore, reasonable regulation of the parameters of the two rolling and aging treatments (initial rolling, intermediate aging, final rolling, and final aging) is an effective strategy to optimize the precipitation phase formation process and improve the alloy properties.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to obtain an alloy with uniform composition, the Cr content in the Cu-Cr master alloy is 3% to 15%; the Zr content in the Cu-Zr master alloy is 30% to 50%.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the temperature of the homogenization treatment in S2 is 800° C. to 950° C., and the holding time is 1 h to 3 h.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the hot rolling treatment in S2 is subjected to 3 to 5 deformation passes, the deformation amount of each pass is 10% to 30%, the rolling speed is 10 m / min to 12 m / min, and the width of the alloy grain after deformation is 40 μm to 60 μm. Controlling these parameters in the above preparation process can ensure uniform deformation of the organization and precise size control.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the first cold rolling deformation in S4 is performed with 4-7 deformation passes; and the total deformation amount of the first cold rolling deformation is 50% to 90%.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, the deformation amount of each pass in the first cold rolling deformation is 10% to 30%, the rolling speed is 10 m / min to 12 m / min, and the width of the alloy grains after deformation is 5 μm to 8 μm.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the second cold rolling deformation in S5 is performed for 3-5 times; and the total deformation amount of the second cold rolling deformation is 10% to 50%.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, the deformation amount of each pass in the second cold rolling deformation is 4% to 7%, the rolling speed is 6 m / min to 8 m / min, and the width of the alloy grains after deformation is 1 μm to 3 μm.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a high-strength, high-conductivity and high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy, wherein the high-strength, high-conductivity and high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy is prepared by the preparation method described in any one of claims 1-8.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the high-strength, high-conductivity, high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy comprises the following components by weight percentage: Cr: 0.5wt% to 0.8wt%, Zr: 0.02wt% to 0.07wt%, and the balance is Cu. More preferably, the high-strength, high-conductivity, high-toughness copper-chromium-zirconium alloy comprises the following components by weight percentage: Cr: 0.67wt%, Zr: 0.065wt%, and the balance is Cu.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The present invention controls the Cr content to 0.5-0.8wt% and the Zr content to 0.05-0.07wt%, and reduces the content of solute atoms to reduce their scattering of electrons to obtain high conductivity, and can also prevent excessive Cr atoms from embrittlement of the alloy grain boundaries and affecting the toughness of the alloy. Through the interaction of Cr and Zr elements and combined with multi-stage cold working and multi-stage aging treatment, the second cold rolling controls the deformation within 20%, which can not only further increase the dislocation accumulation inside the alloy but also ensure that the grain boundary changes will not be too large to reduce the impact on the electrical conductivity of the alloy. The secondary aging temperature and time are regulated to control the size, quantity and morphology of the secondary precipitated phase to avoid the impact of recovery softening on the mechanical properties of the alloy, and further improve the comprehensive performance of the copper alloy.

[0016] (1) The present invention provides a method for preparing an alloy, which includes processes such as melting and casting, hot rolling, aging and cold deformation. The process is simple and effective, with a short flow, and is suitable for large-scale production of high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloy strips for lead frames. The method has low cost, excellent mechanical and electrical properties, and can meet the performance requirements of high-end integrated circuit lead frame copper alloys. In particular, the method has good application prospects in the fields of electronic communications and rail transportation.

[0017] (2) According to the preparation method of the present invention, the present invention also provides an alloy with excellent performance, which ensures high strength while also ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and high toughness.

[0044] Table 1 As can be seen from the above table, the present invention controls the Cr content of the alloy ingot to be less than 0.8 wt%, and the Zr content to be less than 0.07 wt%. The alloy content is intentionally reduced to reduce the scattering of electrons by solute atoms to improve the electrical conductivity, and the cost can be reduced. The introduction of a large number of defects through the initial rolling process provides a favorable nucleation position for fine precipitates, which in turn leads to the formation of more dislocations and deformation twins in the final rolling process. The first aging treatment is then carried out, and nano-precipitated phases can be introduced, which can pin dislocation movement during the second rolling process, providing a uniform nucleation position for the formation of precipitated phases during the aging process after cold rolling. The second cold rolling controls the deformation within 20%, which can further increase the dislocation accumulation inside the alloy and ensure that the grain boundary changes will not be too large to reduce the impact on the electrical conductivity of the alloy. Finally, the secondary aging is carried out, and the aging temperature and time are regulated to control the size, quantity and morphology of the secondary precipitated phase to avoid the impact of recovery softening on the mechanical properties of the alloy. Therefore, reasonable regulation of the parameters of the two rolling and aging treatments (initial rolling, intermediate aging, final rolling, and final aging) is an effective strategy to optimize the precipitation phase formation process and improve the alloy properties.
