Traditional alloying methods significantly reduce material ductility and affect forming processing; 3. Conventional additive elements (such as Ag, Sn, etc.) have limited effect on improving resistivity (<5% increase), increasing manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the metallographic structure (200×) of Example 2 of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to explain the present application but the present application is not limited to the following examples.
[0014] When the original mass percentage composition of copper-phosphorus solder is 6.8% phosphorus, the rest copper and impurities, and the impurities are less than 0.2%, the antimony content in the original copper-phosphorus solder is gradually increased, and the resistivity test results are as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0015] Based on the above principles, this application conducted 17 tests with phosphorus content ranging from 5.0% to 8.0% and antimony content ranging from 0% to 2.0%. The experimental results are as follows (accurate to 2 decimal places): The above experiments demonstrate that this application significantly improves resistivity through the lattice distortion effect of Sb, while simultaneously controlling the Sb addition to ≤2.0% to avoid the formation of brittle phases. Tests have shown that this solder can reduce welding current by 10.0-15.0% in resistance welding applications. Using a 15-30V voltage to heat the wire, automatic wire feeding allows for precise control of wire usage and heat input, resulting in a 21% improvement in welding time efficiency, shortening welding time by 2-5 seconds.
