Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] It should be noted that the professional terms used in the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the following embodiments of the present application can be purchased from the market or prepared by the existing method.
[0025] The existing beryllium copper alloy ultrafine wire material often has problems of uneven crystal phase and large radial tolerance in the wire drawing process due to lack of effective process parameter control and optimization. The process flow of preparing the beryllium copper alloy ultrafine wire material is relatively long, the comprehensive yield is low, and the prepared beryllium copper alloy wire material is prone to have defects such as core crack, stress crack, twist and drawing fracture, which seriously limits the application of the ultrafine wire material in high-end precision instruments. In addition, the conventional annealing process cannot completely eliminate work hardening, so that the toughness and electrical conductivity of the wire material are difficult to reach the ideal state.
[0026] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a forming method of beryllium copper alloy ultrafine wire material, comprising the following steps: The alloying elements of the beryllium copper alloy are alloyed according to the mass percentage to form a mixture, wherein the Be in the beryllium copper alloy elements is 1.8% to 2.0%, the Co is 0.1% to 0.3%, the Ni is 0.1% to 0.3%, the Fe is ≤0.2%, the Ni+Co is ≥0.2%, the Ni+Co+Fe is ≤0.6%, and the Ni+Co+Fe+Be+Cu is ≥99.5%.
[0027] The mixture is melted by vacuum continuous casting to obtain a master material with a diameter of 8mm to 10mm; the master material is subjected to N-stage drawing, N is 3 to 5, to obtain a beryllium copper alloy ultrafine wire material, and the diameter of the beryllium copper alloy ultrafine wire material is 0.05mm to 0.015mm.
[0028] During the N-stage drawing, the intermediate drawing state wire blank is obtained after the first N-1 stage drawing, when the diameter of the intermediate drawing state wire blank is 0.1mm, the aging solid solution treatment is carried out first and then the drawing is carried out, when the diameter of the intermediate drawing state wire blank is <0.1mm, the continuous annealing treatment is carried out first and then the drawing is carried out; when the diameter of the intermediate drawing state wire blank is ≥0.1mm, the drawing is carried out under the action of the water-based lubricant, and when the diameter of the intermediate drawing state wire blank is <0.1mm, the drawing is carried out under the action of the oil-based lubricant.
[0029] It should be noted that, on the one hand, the present application is based on the element composition of the traditional beryllium copper alloy, it is difficult to accurately control the content of trace elements, leading to the internal structure of the alloy is not uniform, and then affect the strength, electrical conductivity and other key performance of the material, on the basis of the chemical composition of the existing beryllium copper alloy, and based on the vacuum continuous casting beryllium copper rod production beryllium copper wire, directly beryllium copper alloy in vacuum environment continuous casting into copper rod, subsequent again a small amount of processing procedures such as drawing. Reduce the forging, hot extrusion and other intermediate links, not only shorten the production cycle, but also reduce the energy consumption and equipment investment in the production process. With the following effects: (1) improve the yield, because the traditional process such as "vacuum induction melting + forging + multiple hot extrusion + multiple drawing" or "electric arc furnace + hot forging + multiple drawing", the process flow is long and complex, defects may occur in each processing link, resulting in low comprehensive yield. For example, in the process of multiple drawing, it is easy to appear the defects such as core crack, stress crack, twist, drawing fracture, etc. The present application can effectively reduce the generation of these defects through the process of vacuum continuous casting beryllium copper rod, because the vacuum environment can reduce the gas content and impurities in the alloy, improve the quality of beryllium copper rod. The metal liquid solidifies uniformly in the continuous casting process, and the structure is dense, which provides a good blank basis for subsequent drawing, thereby improving the yield of beryllium copper wire. (2) improve the product quality and structure uniformity: the present application can make the composition of beryllium copper alloy more uniform under the dual action of vacuum and continuous casting in vacuum continuous casting, the grains are refined and uniformly distributed in the solidification process, and the crystal phase uniformity of beryllium copper wire is better after subsequent drawing into wire, and the performance is more stable, thereby solving the problem of uneven crystal phase caused by multiple processing in traditional process. (3) dimensional accuracy: the beryllium copper rod prepared by the present application has high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality, the dimensional accuracy is easier to control in the subsequent drawing process, the radial tolerance of the produced beryllium copper wire is smaller, which can meet the strict requirements of high-end precision instruments on the dimensional accuracy of wire material. (4) eliminate internal defects: the present application can reduce the mixing of gas and impurities through the vacuum environment, avoid the internal defects caused by gas and impurities. The smooth solidification of metal liquid in the continuous casting process also helps to reduce the internal stress concentration and the probability of crack generation, improve the internal quality of beryllium copper wire, so as to avoid the defects such as core crack and stress crack in the beryllium copper wire produced by traditional process. (5) optimize the effect of heat treatment: the present application can control the cooling speed and other process parameters in the continuous casting process of vacuum continuous casting beryllium copper rod, preliminarily regulate the structure and performance of the alloy. When the subsequent appropriate heat treatment is carried out, it is easier to eliminate work hardening, so that the toughness and electrical conductivity of beryllium copper wire reach a more ideal state, which meets the requirements of high-end precision instruments on the performance of the material. Avoid the influence of traditional annealing process on the toughness and electrical conductivity of wire material due to the incomplete elimination of work hardening.In another aspect, the present application is based on a multi-stage drawing and annealing synergistic process, directly making beryllium copper rods by vacuum continuous casting and only requiring a small amount of subsequent drawing processing, not only reducing intermediate links such as forging and hot extrusion, shortening the production cycle and reducing energy consumption and equipment investment, but also providing high-quality billets for drawing by reducing gas impurities in the vacuum environment and making the metal liquid solidify uniformly and densely, effectively improving the yield; at the same time, the vacuum continuous casting makes the alloy composition uniform and the grain refined, the continuous casting copper rod has high size precision and good surface quality, combined with the reduction of gas impurities in the vacuum environment and the reduction of stress concentration by stable continuous casting solidification, and the preliminary optimization of the organization and performance by controlling the cooling speed during continuous casting, the subsequent heat treatment is easier to eliminate work hardening, thereby comprehensively optimizing the product quality in terms of uniformity of the organization, size precision, elimination of internal defects and heat treatment effect, and cooperating with the multi-stage drawing and annealing synergistic process to control the drawing parameters in stages and anneal in time to eliminate work hardening, further optimizing the size precision, mechanical and electrical properties of beryllium copper wire, and highlighting the advanced nature of the process.
[0030] The beryllium copper alloy ultra-fine wire prepared by the present application has a diameter precision controlled within ±0.001 mm, meeting the strict requirements of high-end precision equipment on wire size; the tensile strength is >1105MPa, having excellent tensile resistance and being able to withstand external force under complex working conditions; the hardness is HRC38-44, having high hardness and improving the wear resistance and damage resistance of the material; the electrical conductivity is 15%-45%(IACS), meeting the requirements of the electronic field on signal transmission and current conduction; the thermal conductivity is 105W / m·K-315W / m·K, being able to effectively conduct heat and meeting the application in scenes with high heat dissipation requirements.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, the aging and solid solution treatment is carried out under the protection of a vacuum atmosphere, the vacuum degree is ≥0.2Pa, the temperature is 280℃-450℃, the holding time is 1h-4h, and the cooling method is water cooling. It should be noted that the present application carries out aging and solid solution treatment when the diameter of the intermediate drawn wire blank is 0.1mm, the purpose is to increase the lattice distortion by forming a solid solution, and the aging and precipitation of the strengthening phase hinders the movement of dislocations, thereby improving the strength and hardness, enhancing the wear resistance, and improving the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The solid solution eliminates defects and optimizes the crystal structure, maintains good conduction performance, stabilizes the size and performance, stabilizes the internal organization, and reduces changes caused by external factors during use.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, the continuous annealing is performed under a protective atmosphere, at a temperature of 400-800℃, a protective gas flow of 0.4-0.65L / min, a continuous annealing take-up speed of 5-30m / min, and a tension of 0.6-2.8g during annealing rewinding. It should be noted that the continuous annealing process adopted in the present application can uniformly eliminate work hardening, reduce the dislocation density in the wire material, and recover and recrystallize the grains, thereby improving the microstructure and performance of the wire material. During the annealing process, the winding operation is simultaneously performed to ensure the continuity and uniform heating of the wire material. By controlling the annealing atmosphere and cooling rate, the surface quality of the wire material is ensured, and the oxidation and decarburization phenomena are prevented,
[0033] In some specific embodiments, the drawing is a 3-stage drawing, wherein, The first-stage drawing is performed on the base material under the condition of a water-based lubricant to obtain a first intermediate drawn wire blank, and the diameter of the first intermediate drawn wire blank is 1 / 8 of the diameter of the base material.
[0034] The second-stage drawing is performed on the first intermediate drawn wire blank, and then the first intermediate drawn wire blank is drawn under the condition of a water-based lubricant to obtain a second intermediate drawn wire blank, and the diameter of the second drawn wire blank is 1 / 10 of the diameter of the first intermediate drawn wire blank.
[0035] The third-stage drawing is performed on the second intermediate drawn wire blank, and then the second intermediate drawn wire blank is drawn under the condition of an oil-based lubricant to obtain a beryllium copper alloy ultra-fine wire material, and the diameter of the beryllium copper alloy ultra-fine wire material is 0.05-0.015mm.
[0036] It should be noted that the beryllium copper wire will be work-hardened during the drawing process. As the processing rate increases, the hardness and strength of the material continuously increase, while the toughness and plasticity gradually decrease. When the total processing rate exceeds a certain degree (e.g., 90%), the material may become too hard and brittle, making subsequent processing difficult, and prone to brittle fracture during use. Therefore, the present application adopts a 3-stage drawing method, controls the total processing rate to be 60-100% during the drawing of the base material, and then performs aging and solid solution treatment or continuous annealing treatment to eliminate the processing stress.
[0037] It should be noted that the single-mode precision cable drawing large machine is used in the first stage drawing process; the non-slip multi-mode drawing machine is used in the second stage drawing process; the non-slip multi-mode drawing machine is used in the third stage drawing process, the drawing die material is single crystal synthetic diamond, the oil-based lubricant is uniformly sprayed on the die and the wire surface through the spraying device in the third stage drawing process, the drawing resistance is reduced, the tension of the wire is monitored in real time by using the high-precision tension sensor, and the stability of the tension is ensured. The mold design and lubrication conditions are optimized, the drawing stress is reduced, and the wire breakage is avoided. At the same time, the diameter change and surface quality of the wire are monitored in real time by using the online monitoring equipment, and the stability and consistency of the rough drawing process are ensured.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, in the 3-stage drawing process: In the first stage drawing process, the deformation amount of each pass is 15% to 25% until the first intermediate drawing state wire blank is obtained, the drawing speed of each pass is 50 m / min to 150 m / min, and the drawing force is 20 g to 300 g.
[0039] In the second stage drawing process, the deformation amount of each pass is 8% to 18% until the second intermediate drawing state wire blank is obtained, the drawing speed of each pass is 50 m / min to 300 m / min, and the drawing force is 20 g to 300 g.

[0041] It should be noted that in the metal wire drawing, the processing rate, drawing speed and drawing force are very important. The processing rate can control the performance of the wire and ensure the dimensional accuracy; the drawing speed affects the production efficiency and also relates to the product quality, improper speed will produce defects; the drawing force is the power of drawing deformation, proper drawing force can ensure smooth drawing, also can protect the equipment and die, avoid equipment damage, wire breakage and excessive die wear.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, after each stage drawing, ultrasonic cleaning is carried out, the cleaning medium uses water-soluble biodegradable cleaning agent, the ultrasonic power is 40 W to 80 W, and the frequency is 15 KHz to 40 KHz. It should be noted that ultrasonic cleaning is carried out after each stage drawing, the purpose is to remove the lubricant, coolant and other oil stains left during the drawing process, to avoid affecting the subsequent process. Remove the metal debris generated during processing, reduce equipment wear and improve surface finish. Prevent impurities from adsorbing water vapor and corrosive gases to cause corrosion, prolong the service life of the metal wire.
[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the water-soluble biodegradable detergent is a detergent produced by Shanghai Saimei Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., which is a series of water-soluble high-concentration biodegradable enhanced detergents composed of organic acids, surfactants, inhibitors, or potassium oxide, non-ionic surfactants, stabilizers, etc.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, the aqueous lubricant comprises the following raw materials by weight: 12 parts of self-emulsifying ester lubricant, 2 parts of neodecanoic acid, 6 parts of boric acid diethanolamine ester, 6 parts of polyethylene glycol PEG200, 6 parts of anti-rust agent, 2 parts of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether coupling agent, 0.4 parts of anti-hard water agent, 3 parts of phosphate aluminum corrosion inhibitor, 0.044 parts of silicone defoaming agent, and 62.556 parts of base oil. The oil-based lubricant is a fluorine oil-based metal wire drawing oil. It should be noted that in the drawing process of the present application, the drawing stress is reduced by designing the lubrication conditions, and the wire breakage is avoided.
[0045] In some specific embodiments, after the N-stage drawing is completed, the beryllium copper alloy ultra-fine wire with a diameter of 0.05mm to 0.015mm is subjected to secondary continuous annealing treatment. The secondary continuous annealing is carried out under a protective atmosphere, the temperature is 400℃ to 800℃, the protective gas flow is 0.4L / min to 0.65L / min, the continuous annealing take-up speed is 5m / min to 30m / min, and the tension during annealing rewinding is 0.6g to 2.8g.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, during the vacuum continuous casting process, the vacuum degree is 10 -2 Pa to 5x10 -3 Pa, the melting temperature is 1200℃ to 1400℃, the continuous casting speed is 2mm / min to 130mm / min, the cooling water volume is 0mL / min to 1400mL / min, and the cooling distance is 70mm to 180mm. It should be noted that the present application uses the method of preparing the base material by vacuum continuous casting to fully melt and uniformly mix the beryllium copper alloy components, and further promotes the uniformity of the alloy liquid through the electromagnetic stirring device. The base material formed by continuous casting is quenched in water for solid solution to ensure the solid solubility of the beryllium copper alloy. In a vacuum environment, the mixing of impurities in the air can be effectively avoided, and the generation of defects such as pores and inclusions can be reduced, significantly improving the purity and density of the base material. By precisely controlling the continuous casting speed, cooling rate and other parameters, the uniformity of the base material structure is ensured, providing a good foundation for the subsequent drawing process.
