The application relates to the technical field of
alloy wires, and discloses a low-expansion special
alloy wire and a preparation process thereof. The special
alloy wire is prepared from 4J36 alloy as
raw material through the processes of hot rolling, cold drawing, low-temperature annealing, cold drawing, high-temperature annealing and surface treatment, and has high precision,
high surface quality and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties;
cobalt carbide nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of the hot-rolled
wire rod to reduce the friction in the cold drawing process;
cobalt elements diffuse into the alloy during high-temperature annealing to improve the strength, and a protective layer is formed to relieve the
hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon in the
pickling and phosphorizing process, which is beneficial to the generation of the phosphorizing film; a phosphorizing liquid is prepared, part of dilute
phosphoric acid is polymerized into polyphosphoric acid through short-time high-temperature heating, and a composite additive obtained by compounding
sodium dodecyl
benzene sulfonate and
polyethylene glycol is added to prepare a phosphorizing liquid which can form a complete and smooth phosphorizing layer on the surface of the alloy wire.
