Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, and in particular, relates to a high-performance beryllium copper alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Beryllium copper alloy is widely used in precision molds, aerospace and electronics industries due to its excellent strength, thermal conductivity, wear resistance and fatigue resistance. However, traditional beryllium copper alloy is easily affected by impurity elements (such as oxygen, sulfur, non-metallic inclusions, etc.) during the smelting process, resulting in an increase in internal defects in the material and a significant decrease in mechanical properties and thermal fatigue life.
[0003] In the prior art, various refining agents are used to purify beryllium copper alloys, such as phosphor copper refining agents, fluorine calcium refining agents, and borax refining agents, but the strengthening effect is not obvious and there are obvious technical bottlenecks. Te (tellurium) is a highly surface active element that reacts with impurities such as sulfur and oxygen in beryllium copper alloys and is an excellent refining material for beryllium copper alloys. However, Te is easily oxidized and fails. It is easily oxidized during high-temperature smelting, resulting in the loss of effective components and reducing the refining efficiency. In addition, residual Te is prone to form a brittle phase, which reduces the toughness and fatigue resistance of the material, seriously restricting its application in high-performance beryllium copper alloys. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-performance beryllium copper alloy and a preparation method thereof.
[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A high performance beryllium copper alloy, the chemical composition of which is:
[0007] Be: 1.7-2.0wt%, Co: 0.25-0.38wt%, Ni: 0.32-0.4wt%, Ti: 0.16-0.23wt%, Fe≤0.12wt%, Si≤0.08wt%, Al≤0.05wt%, and the balance is Cu and unavoidable impurities.
[0008] The C@SiC / Te refining agent is prepared by the following method:
[0009] Step A1: premix the silane coupling agent KH-560 and methanol aqueous solution, add propylene glycol and mix well, acidify with hydrochloric acid to a pH value of 4, stir and hydrolyze at room temperature for 35-40 hours, then add silicon carbide micropowder, stir and disperse, and then stand for coupling for 24 hours, remove the liquid phase and dry to obtain epoxidized silicon carbide;
[0010] Further, the feeding ratio of silicon carbide micropowder, silane coupling agent KH-560, glycerol and methanol aqueous solution is 50 g: 2 - 2.5 mL: 0.3 - 0.4 g: 120 - 160 mL. The silane coupling agent KH-560 is hydrolyzed and coupled onto the surface of silicon carbide micropowder, introducing organic epoxy groups to the surface.
[0011] Step A2: Premix diethanolamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, introduce dry nitrogen for protection, control the temperature at 0 - 5 °C in an ice-water bath, slowly add diphenyldichlorosilane and stir for reaction for 8 - 10 h. After the reaction is completed, rotary evaporate to remove tetrahydrofuran, wash the substrate with water by mixing, separate the aqueous phase and dry it to obtain the modifier.
[0012] Further, the feeding ratio of diphenyldichlorosilane, diethanolamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is 10 mmol: 11 - 13 mmol: 3.5 - 4 mL: 25 - 40 mL. Under low-temperature alkaline conditions, the excessive diethanolamine undergoes a substitution reaction with diphenyldichlorosilane to form a compound with multiple benzene rings.
[0013] Step A3: Mix the modifier, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and dimethyl sulfoxide, then add the epoxidized silicon carbide and stir for dispersion. Heat up to 85 - 100 °C and stir for reaction for 2.5 - 3 h. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge to collect the precipitate, wash it with ethanol and dry it to obtain the modified matrix.
[0014] Further, the feeding ratio of epoxidized silicon carbide, modifier, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and dimethyl sulfoxide is 50 g: 7.5 - 9.2 g: 0.5 - 0.7 g: 80 - 100 mL. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide acts as a phase transfer agent and catalyst, promoting the ring-opening of the epoxy group on the surface of epoxidized silicon carbide with the secondary amine in the modifier molecule, and grafting the modifier onto the surface of epoxidized silicon carbide.
[0015] Step A4: Premix tellurium tetrachloride and anhydrous toluene, introduce dry nitrogen for protection, add the modified matrix and disperse it by ultrasonic wave. Heat up to 70 - 80 °C, slowly add triethylamine and stir for reaction for 3 - 4 h. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge to collect the precipitate, place it in a nitrogen atmosphere furnace, calcine it at 750 - 800 °C for 5 - 5.5 h, and cool it with the furnace to obtain the C@SiC / Te refining agent.
[0016] Further, the feeding ratio of the modified matrix, tellurium tetrachloride, triethylamine and anhydrous toluene is 50 g: 4.8 - 5.6 g: 25 - 40 mL: 150 - 200 mL. The nitrogen-oxygen chain segment in the modifier structure on the surface of the modified matrix forms a chelating effect on tellurium tetrachloride, enriching tellurium tetrachloride on the surface of the modified matrix. Then it reacts with the hydroxyl group of the epoxy ring-opening to form telluride loading. Under anaerobic high-temperature calcination, the grafted layer of the modifier forms a carbide to coat the silicon carbide, and the telluride decomposes and is loaded on the surface of the carbide.
[0017] A preparation method of a high-performance beryllium copper alloy, comprising the following steps:
[0018] Step S1: Melt electrolytic copper and control the temperature at 1300 ± 10 °C, add nickel wire, cobalt wire, titanium wire and beryllium copper master alloy to melt. After the temperature of the alloy liquid rises back to 1450 °C, keep it warm, add C@SiC / Te refining agent in batches for refining treatment for 11 - 14 min, skim the slag and then cast and cool to form, obtaining an alloy casting;
[0019] Step S2: Perform hot forging treatment, solution treatment and aging treatment on the alloy casting in sequence, and then a high-performance beryllium copper alloy is obtained.
[0020] Furthermore, the dosage of the C@SiC / Te refining agent is 0.18 - 0.21 wt% of the alloy liquid.
[0021] Furthermore, the starting forging temperature of the hot forging treatment is 850 °C, the final forging temperature is 750 °C, and the forging ratio is 2.5 - 3.
[0022] Furthermore, the solution treatment temperature is 790 - 820 °C, and the treatment time is 2.8 - 3.5 h.
[0023] Furthermore, the aging treatment temperature is 300 - 350 °C, and the treatment time is 2.5 - 3 h.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0025] The present invention uses a C@SiC / Te refining agent to refine and purify beryllium copper alloy. Taking silicon carbide as the carrier, it has excellent thermal stability and can fully remove slag and separate impurities. After being treated with silane coupling agent KH-560, organic epoxy groups are grafted on the surface. Through the substitution reaction of diethanolamine and diphenyldichlorosilane, a modifier with a chain-like polybenzene ring structure is prepared. The epoxy groups on the surface of silicon carbide particles are ring-opened with the modifier, and the modifier is coated on the surface of silicon carbide. The nitrogen-oxygen chain segments in the modifier structure form a chelating effect on tellurium tetrachloride, enriching tellurium tetrachloride on the surface of the modified matrix. Then, it reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the ring-opened epoxy to form telluride loading. Under anaerobic high-temperature roasting, the polybenzene rings of the modifier are carbonized to form a carbon layer, and the telluride decomposes and is loaded on the carbon layer. Compared with the existing refining agents, the carbon layer formed by the carbonization of the polybenzene ring structure has a porous structure, providing a structural basis for the loading of tellurium. At the same time, as a protective layer, the carbon layer reacts with oxygen preferentially to prevent the oxidation of tellurium, ensuring that tellurium maintains high activity during the refining process, fully reacting with sulfur, oxygen and their inclusions, playing an efficient role in removing impurities and refining. The refined telluride is discharged with the refining slag, reducing the tellurium residue in the alloy liquid, avoiding the formation of brittle phases due to the long-term high-temperature reaction of tellurium with copper, and reducing the influence of tellurium on the mechanical properties of the alloy material. The C@SiC / Te refining agent significantly improves the comprehensive performance of beryllium copper alloy through the triple synergistic mechanism of "carbon layer protection - efficient tellurium impurity removal - low residue design".
