Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper processing technology, and in particular to a continuous casting process for low-oxygen, high-purity phosphorus copper rods based on scrap copper. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics and electrical industries, the demand for low-oxygen, high-purity phosphor bronze rods is increasing. Phosphor bronze rods possess excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and processing properties, and are widely used in wires and cables, electronic components, and other fields. Traditional phosphor bronze rod production processes mostly use electrolytic copper as raw material, resulting in high costs. However, my country has abundant scrap copper resources, and the recycling and utilization of scrap copper has significant economic and environmental implications.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN116984573B belongs to the field of copper material processing technology, specifically involving a process for producing low-oxygen copper rods based on modified recycled copper through continuous casting and rolling. The provided process includes smelting, refining, casting, rolling, cleaning, and cooling steps. The refining process comprises two stages: oxidation and reduction. Slag is removed after each stage. During the oxidation stage, a modifier composed of magnesium silicate and quartz sand is added. After slag removal during the reduction stage, graphene and rare earth elements are added.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN117816917B relates to the field of oxygen-free copper rod preparation, specifically providing a method for preparing oxygen-free copper rod. The main steps include baking, melting, heat preservation, and solidification of electrolytic copper plate raw materials into a solid, and drawing the copper rod upwards. In this application, the structure of the melting furnace is specifically adjusted, with several vent pipes evenly distributed at intervals on the bottom and peripheral walls of the melting furnace. During the melting process, several vent pipes at the bottom of the melting furnace extend into the molten copper, continuously introducing nitrogen gas into the molten copper. After melting is completed, the vent pipes arranged on the bottom and peripheral walls of the melting furnace are opened simultaneously to supply nitrogen gas into the molten copper.
[0005] Existing processes for producing phosphor bronze rods from scrap copper have several problems. Firstly, scrap copper contains a wide variety of impurities, including lead, tin, zinc, iron, arsenic, and antimony. Traditional processes struggle to completely remove these impurities, resulting in low product purity and affecting performance. Secondly, achieving uniform phosphorus addition is difficult, leading to uneven phosphorus distribution in the copper rod and impacting product quality stability. Furthermore, existing continuous casting processes are inadequate in controlling oxygen content, resulting in excessively high oxygen content in the produced phosphor bronze rods, reducing their conductivity and machinability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a continuous casting process for low-oxygen, high-purity phosphorus copper rods based on scrap copper, the operation steps of which are as follows:
[0007] S1 Raw Material Selection and Pretreatment: Scrap copper with a copper content of 92wt% is first removed by magnetic separation to remove ferromagnetic impurities, and then impurities larger than 5cm are removed by screening equipment; then 10-20 parts by weight of scrap copper are soaked in 30-100 parts by weight of cleaning solution for 20-30 minutes to remove surface oil and plastic impurities, and after drying, it is crushed into small pieces of 2-3cm.
[0008] S2 smelting: The pre-treated scrap copper is added to the smelting furnace and heated and smelted using natural gas as fuel, so that the scrap copper is completely melted;
[0009] S3 Oxidation and Impurity Removal: Oxygen is introduced into the molten metal to oxidize impurities and form scum, which is then removed using a scum removal tool;
[0010] S4 phosphorus copper alloy addition: When the melt temperature drops to 1150-1250℃, add 0.01-0.1 parts by weight of phosphorus copper alloy, stir for 10-20 minutes, so that the phosphorus content reaches 0.01-0.05 wt%;
[0011] S5 Refining: Add 0.01-0.03 parts by weight of refining agent to the melt, stir evenly, and let stand for 20-30 minutes;
[0012] S6 Continuous Casting: The refined molten metal is continuously cast using a continuous casting machine, and the crystallizer is made of graphite.
[0013] S7 Rolling and Cooling: The billet is rolled in multiple passes with a total processing rate of 50-70%; the rolled copper rod is cooled by sebacic acid amidation cooling dispersion to obtain low-oxygen high-purity phosphorus copper rod.
[0014] In some embodiments, the cleaning solution contains 1-1.5 wt% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 0.5-0.8 wt% sodium carbonate, and the remainder is water.
[0015] In some embodiments, the melting temperature of S2 is 1200-1300℃ and the furnace pressure is 50-80Pa.
[0016] In some embodiments, the oxygen ventilation rate of S3 is 0.3-0.5 m³ / min, and the ventilation time is 10-20 minutes.
[0017] In some embodiments, the refining agent consists of borax and sodium carbonate in a mass ratio of 2:1.
[0018] In some embodiments, the casting speed of S6 is 1-3 m / min.
[0019] In some embodiments, the rolling temperature of S7 is 800-900°C.
[0020] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the sebacic acid amidated cooling dispersion is as follows:
[0021] Based on mass parts, 5-8 parts sebacic acid, 3-5 parts 2,2'-diamino-3,3'-bipyridine, 50-60 parts propylene glycol methyl ether, and 0.2-0.4 parts p-toluenesulfonic acid are reacted at 80-90℃ for 2-5 hours. After the reaction solution is cooled, 130-170 parts deionized water and 0.8-1.2 parts 1,2,4,5-tetraazine-3,6-diamine are added, and the mixture is ultrasonically dispersed for 25-50 minutes to obtain a sebacic acid amidated cooling dispersion.
[0022] Reaction mechanism:
[0023] The long-chain carboxyl group of sebacic acid reacts with the amino group in 2,2'-diamino-3,3'-bipyridine under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonic acid at 80-90℃ to form a branched polyamide structure.
[0024] 1,2,4,5-Tetraazine-3,6-diamine combines with the polyamide generated above via amide bonds to form a stable composite system. This system can synergistically act on the copper surface to inhibit its oxidation.
[0025] The long-chain structure of sebacic acid forms a lubricating film after the reaction, which can help protect the antioxidant film formed on the copper surface and enhance the overall protective effect.
[0026] Technical effects:
[0027] This invention provides a low-oxygen, high-purity phosphorus copper rod continuous casting process based on scrap copper. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following significant advantages:
[0028] 1. The lubricating film formed by the long-chain structure of sebacic acid can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction, reduce scratches on copper rods during rolling, and improve the surface quality of the product.
[0029] 2. The compounded antioxidant components (a combination system of branched polyamide and 1,2,4,5-tetraazine-3,6-diamine) can effectively prevent oxidation of the copper rod surface and maintain the stability of the copper's electrical conductivity and other physicochemical properties.
[0030] 3. The synergistic effect of the lubricating film and the anti-oxidation film significantly improves the overall protection of the copper rod and extends its storage and service life.
[0031] 4. The phosphor bronze rod prepared by this invention has low oxygen content, high purity, and good mechanical properties, meeting the market demand for high-quality phosphor bronze rods. Detailed Implementation

S2 smelting: The pre-treated scrap copper is added to the smelting furnace and heated and smelted using natural gas as fuel, so that the scrap copper is completely melted; S3 Oxidation and Impurity Removal: Oxygen is introduced into the molten metal to oxidize impurities and form scum, which is then removed using a scum removal tool; S4 phosphorus copper alloy addition: When the melt temperature drops to 1150-1250℃, add 0.01-0.1 parts by weight of phosphorus copper alloy, stir for 10-20 minutes, so that the phosphorus content reaches 0.01-0.05 wt%; S5 Refining: Add 0.01-0.03 parts by weight of refining agent to the melt, stir evenly, and let stand for 20-30 minutes; S6 Continuous Casting: The refined molten metal is continuously cast using a continuous casting machine, and the crystallizer is made of graphite. S7 Rolling and Cooling: The billet is rolled in multiple passes with a total processing rate of 50-70%; the rolled copper rod is cooled by sebacic acid amidation cooling dispersion to obtain a low-oxygen, high-purity phosphorus copper rod. The preparation method of the sebacic acid amidated cooling dispersion is as follows: Based on mass parts, 5-8 parts sebacic acid, 3-5 parts 2,2'-diamino-3,3'-bipyridine, 50-60 parts propylene glycol methyl ether, and 0.2-0.4 parts p-toluenesulfonic acid are reacted at 80-90℃ for 2-5 hours. After the reaction solution is cooled, 130-170 parts deionized water and 0.8-1.2 parts 1,2,4,5-tetraazine-3,6-diamine are added, and the mixture is ultrasonically dispersed for 25-50 minutes to obtain a sebacic acid amidated cooling dispersion.
