Definitions

  • the elasticity is mainly related to the yield strength/tensile strength ratio and the modulus of elasticity of the material.
  • the yield strength of the material is absolutely lower than the tensile strength. If the applied stress exceeds the yield strength, plastic deformation occurs. If the tensile strength is higher, the amount of plastic deformation endurable for the material before fracture failure is larger; if the yield strength is higher, the maximum endurable elastic deformation is larger; and, if the modulus of elasticity is larger, a larger resilience force can be obtained under a same elastic displacement. Therefore, for a same kind of material, to allow the material to have better elasticity, it is required to obtain a yield strength/tensile strength and a modulus of elasticity as high as possible.
  • Method 5 Preparing materials ⁇ smelting ⁇ horizontal continuous casting/ continuous up casting ⁇ solid solution treatment ⁇ primary inverse drawing -first- stage aging heat treatment- secondary inverse drawing - second- stage aging heat treatment ⁇ continuous drawing and aging heat treatment ⁇ packaging.
  • the solid solution formed by solving the cobalt-silicon compound into lattices is less stable, and it is difficult to form a supersaturated solid solution under the online solid solution conditions. Accordingly, the conditions for dispersed precipitation of the cobalt-silicon phase cannot be satisfied, the conductivity of the material is low, and the modulus of elasticity and the mechanical property are improved limitedly, so that the application requirements cannot be satisfied.
  • the mass relation and the atomic ratio of Cu and Zn are within the scope of the claims.
  • the Table 2 mainly indicates the influence of different changes in content of two alloy elements Co and Si on various basic performances of the material. It can be seen from the data in Embodiments 15 to 22 and comparison examples 13 and 14 that, in the present invention, the content of Co needs to be between 0.01% and 3%, and the content of silicon needs to be between 0.01% and 0.5%. If the content of any element is beyond this range, the comprehensive performance of the material cannot satisfy the requirements.
  • This scheme is used for indicating the influence of the proportion of phases in the microstructure of the copper alloy on the material performance, and includes Embodiments 23 to 32 (which are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the claimed invention), as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • Materials are prepared according to the designed composition.
  • the raw materials comprise electrolytic copper, 0# zinc, metal cobalt, and intermediate copper-silicon alloy. Samples are obtained from the extruded blanks, and back-furnace components are tested. As the test instrument, an Inductive Coupling Plasma spectrograph (ICP) is used.
  • ICP Inductive Coupling Plasma spectrograph
  • This scheme is used for indicating the influence of the addition of Cr, Zr and Ti on the formation of strip-shaped cobalt-silicon compounds, by observing the number of the strip-shaped compounds in a corresponding scanning electron microscope graph.
  • This scheme includes Embodiments 62 to 68 (which are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the claimed invention).
  • Materials are prepared according to the designed composition.
  • the raw materials comprise electrolytic copper, 0# zinc, metal cobalt, intermediate copper-chromium alloy, intermediate copper-zirconium alloy, and intermediate copper-titanium alloy. Samples are obtained from the extruded blanks, and back-furnace components are tested. As the test instrument, an Inductive Coupling Plasma spectrograph (ICP) is used.
  • ICP Inductive Coupling Plasma spectrograph
  • This scheme is used for indicating the effect of B, Mg and REE in inhibiting the precipitation of the Co x Si y precipitated phases on the crystal boundary, by observing the number of the Co x Si y precipitated phases distributed on the crystal boundary in a corresponding scanning electron microscope graph.
  • This scheme includes Embodiments 69 to 75 (which are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the claimed invention).
  • Materials are prepared according to the designed composition. The raw materials comprise electrolytic copper, 0# zinc, metal cobalt, intermediate copper-boron alloy, intermediate copper-magnesium alloy, and mischmetal. Samples are obtained from the extruded blanks, and back-furnace components are tested.
  • ICP Inductive Coupling Plasma spectrograph
  • Materials in each group are casted and ingoted in a 10 Kg intermediate frequency furnace, then turned into ⁇ 50 extruded ingots, and finally extruded into ⁇ 15 blanks.
  • the extruded blanks are cooled with water online.
  • the following processing is successively performed on the extruded blanks: cold drawing at a working rate of 60% ⁇ aging heat treatment for 5 h at 550°C ⁇ cold drawing at a working rate of 30% ⁇ aging heat treatment for 4 h at 450°C ⁇ cold drawing at a working rate of 20% ⁇ heat treatment on finished products for 3 h at 280°C ⁇ cleaning.
  • the finished products are machined into ⁇ 7 standard tensile samples. Tensile tests are performed on the samples on a 10-ton hydraulic drawing machine to test the tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and modulus of elasticity of the samples. The finished products are cut into a length of 80 cm, and then the conductivity of the finished products is measured by a bridge tester. Various data is shown in Table 9.
  • Embodiments 76 to 92 This scheme is used for indicating processing methods of different forms of materials, and includes Embodiments 76 to 92.
  • Embodiments 76 to 81 and 83 to 92 are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the claimed invention.
  • wire rods having a product specification of ⁇ 0.5 mm are produced by the preparation methods 4 and 5;
  • Embodiments 78 to 79 bars having a product specification of ⁇ 15 mm are produced by the preparation method 3;
  • Embodiments 80 to 82 strips having a product specification of 0.3 mm are produced by the preparation method 2; and
  • Embodiment 80 is accordance with American Standard C51900 as a comparison example.
  • Embodiments 83 to 92 strips having a product specification of 0.3 mm are produced by the preparation method 1. Characterized in that, Embodiment 83 is accordance with American Standard C42500, Embodiment 84 is accordance with American Standard C26000, and Embodiment 85 is accordance with American Standard C44300. Embodiments 76, 78, 80, 83-85 and 89-92 are provided for illustrative purposes only. The various data is shown in Table 10 and Continued Table 10:
  • This scheme is used for making a comparison in terms of the endurance of elasticity of the copper alloy containing cobalt and silicon and the stress relaxation rate of the material.
