The invention discloses an aluminum-
copper composite strip and a preparation method thereof, the strip comprises a
copper alloy layer, an aluminum material layer and an
intermetallic compound layer, the aluminum material layer is embedded in the
copper alloy layer, the
intermetallic compound layer is located between the
copper alloy layer and the aluminum material layer, the
copper alloy layer is a
precipitation strengthening type copper-
nickel alloy, and the
intermetallic compound layer is an aluminum alloy layer. The average particle size of second-phase particles in the
copper alloy layer is smaller than or equal to 20 nm, the intermetallic compound layer is composed of a first
diffusion layer and a second
diffusion layer which are stacked, the first
diffusion layer contains a Cu9Al4 intermetallic compound, the second
diffusion layer contains a CuAl2 intermetallic compound, and the thickness of the second
diffusion layer is smaller than or equal to 2 microns. The preparation method of the strip comprises the technological processes of grooving,
surface cleaning, composite rolling, intermediate annealing, cold rolling, annealing before forming, splitting and packaging. The strip achieves good matching of strength,
conductivity,
heat stress relaxation resistance and bending performance, and is suitable for occasions with high requirements for comprehensive performance of materials, such as automobile wire harness connecting terminals and the like.
