[0070] S1. Alloy high-purity tin and trace copper through vacuum melting to obtain a tin-copper alloy melt;
[0071] Furthermore, load high-purity tin and copper into a vacuum induction melting furnace in proportion;
[0072] The high-purity tin is Sn≥99.95%, and the copper is Cu 0.5% - 1.5%;
[0073] Vacuumize to a furnace pressure ≤ 10 -3 Pa to prevent oxidation, and heat up at a rate of 20 - 30°C / min to 280 - 320°C. After the molten metal is completely melted, keep it warm for 10 - 15 minutes;

[0097] Adopt an active damping control system to suppress the machining vibration amplitude within ±0.5 μm, and obtain a semi-finished tin product after cutting;
[0098] It should be noted that by using an improved NURBS curve interpolation algorithm to generate the tool path, combined with an adaptive adjustment of the spindle speed and a minimum quantity lubrication system MQL, not only can the cutting accuracy and efficiency be significantly improved, but also the vibration and heat accumulation during cutting can be effectively reduced, thus ensuring the high-precision manufacturing requirements of complex-shaped parts and improving the overall quality of the product.
[0099] S4. Use a gradient annealing method to perform staged heat treatment on the semi-finished tin product after CNC machining to obtain a stable tin product;
[0100] Furthermore, place the semi-finished tin product after CNC machining in a vacuum heat treatment furnace, evacuate to below 5×10-3 Pa, and heat up at a rate of 15 °C / min to 120 ± 5 °C, and hold for 30 minutes to eliminate machining stress;
[0101] Continue to heat up at 10 °C / min to 180 ± 2 °C for the first-stage annealing;

[0105] Keep the nitrogen flow rate in the furnace at 5 L / min during the cooling process to prevent oxidation and obtain a stable tin product;
[0106] It should be noted that through the staged heating and cooling strategy, and maintaining an appropriate nitrogen flow rate during the cooling process to prevent oxidation, the internal stress can be effectively eliminated, the microstructure of the material can be improved, and its mechanical properties can be enhanced. The method is particularly suitable for the production of precision parts and helps to improve the dimensional stability and service life of the product.
[0107] S5. Use a hydraulically driven adaptive die to perform progressive compression edge binding on the stable tin product to obtain a tin product with edge strengthening;
[0108] Furthermore, place the stable tin product after annealing treatment on the workbench of a hydraulic press, and use a laser scanner to perform three-dimensional mapping of the workpiece contour to generate actual contour point cloud data;
[0109] In the first-stage compression, an initial pressure of 150 ± 10 MPa is applied, and in the second-stage compression, the pressure is increased to 250 ± 10 MPa. A pulse loading mode with a frequency of 5 Hz and a duty cycle of 60% is adopted.
[0110] In the final shaping stage, the pressure is increased to 300 ± 5 MPa, and the mold temperature is controlled at 120 ± 5 °C, and a tin product with edge strengthening is obtained.

[0118] During the rough pressing process, the pressing head approaches the workpiece at a speed of 0.5 mm / s, an initial pressure of 30 N is applied, and at the same time, ultrasonic vibration is turned on for a duration of 5 - 8 seconds.
[0119] During the fine pressing process, the pressure is increased to 60 - 80 N, the ultrasonic amplitude is adjusted to 10 μm, and the pressure is maintained for 10 - 15 seconds. During this period, the pressing head makes a circular swing.
[0120] The swing amplitude of the pressing head is ±0.5 mm.
[0121] After the pressing is completed, maintain the pressure for 5 seconds for shaping. After turning off the ultrasonic wave, slowly lift the pressing head, quickly cool the pressing area with liquid nitrogen, and obtain a finished tin product with a firm structure;
[0122] It should be noted that the surface cleaning treatment with anhydrous ethanol and an ultrasonic cleaner ensures the cleanliness of the workpiece surface, which is beneficial for subsequent pressing operations. Through preheating treatment and two-stage pressing, tight pressing can be achieved without damaging the workpiece, greatly enhancing the structural strength and sealing performance of the finished product.

[0131] The surface modification layer uses RF sputtering and deposits a 10-nm-thick dense surface layer;
[0132] It should be noted that through argon ion bombardment cleaning and multi-layer coating deposition technology, not only can impurities and oxides on the workpiece surface be removed, but coatings with different functions can also be customized according to actual needs, such as anti-corrosion and wear-resistant properties, thus significantly expanding the application range and service life of tin products. The multi-layer coating design enables the product to maintain excellent performance in more demanding environments.
[0133] In summary, the present invention alloyizes high-purity tin and trace copper by using a vacuum melting method, achieving oxidation avoidance in a strictly controlled environment and ensuring precise proportioning of alloy components.
