The invention belongs to the technical field of
copper alloys, and particularly relates to a
brass alloy material and a preparation method and application thereof. The performance
bottleneck of the
brass alloy material is broken through through multi-scale optimization by utilizing component design-
phase state regulation and control-process cooperation, so that the
cutting machinability,
corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the
brass alloy material are synergistically improved. A two-step heat treatment method is adopted,
quenching is conducted through
solid solution, annealing is conducted after
quenching, staged heat treatment is conducted, a high
beta phase is reserved in the
solid solution stage, the
beta phase is partially decomposed through annealing, the
beta phase proportion is reduced, the alpha phase is increased, an alpha + beta double-phase structure is obtained, the beta phase proportion is dynamically reduced from 60%-80% to 20%-30%, the beta phase proportion is dynamically adjusted and controlled, and the
mechanical property of the alloy is improved. The brass alloy material has the advantages of good processability and
corrosion resistance, improvement of the
chip breaking property, maintenance of the
corrosion resistance of a
copper matrix, improvement of the
hardness and strength of the brass alloy material, improvement of the
cutting chip breaking capability and avoidance of
brittleness increase.
