Background technology
Copper alloy with high strength and high conductivity is the structure function material that a class has good comprehensive physicals and mechanical property, irreplaceable effect is arranged in numerous industrial circles, be widely used in electric power, electrician, the mechanical manufacturing field such as electrode, power asynchronous traction motor of high rotor, electric railway contact wire, thermonuclear reactor experiment (ITER) divertor vertical target radiator element of the lead frame mouth of unicircuit, all kinds of spot welding and roll seam welding machine.But intensity in the copper alloy and electroconductibility are a pair of conflicting characteristics always, and this disappears and other rises, generally can only improve the mechanical property of copper under the prerequisite of sacrificing specific conductivity and thermal conductivity, to obtain high intensity.How to solve this contradiction, be the key subject of copper alloy with high strength and high conductivity research always.
The approach that obtains copper alloy with high strength and high conductivity at present mainly contains two kinds: the one, and the alloying approach is promptly introduced alloying element and is strengthened to form copper alloy in copper; The 2nd, compoundization approach is promptly introduced second strengthening phase and is strengthened to form matrix material in the copper matrix.
Alloying is to add alloying element in copper, and solute atoms can cause the lattice lattice distortion after dissolving in lattice, causes stress field, thereby intensity is improved.Traditional alloying is mainly strengthened the copper matrix by means such as solution strengthening and precipitation strengths.According to the alloy solid solution strengthening principle, solid solution alloy unit commonly used in the copper alloy have Sn, Cd, Ag etc.According to the precipitation strength principle, such copper alloy of having developed at present has Cu-Cr, Cu-Zr, Cu-Ti, Cu-Fe etc.The advantage of alloying is that technology is ripe, technology is simple, cost is lower, suitability for scale production.Its shortcoming is that distored dot matrix has reduced electroconductibility to the corresponding aggravation of the scattering process of moving electron in the crystal.Generally can only under the prerequisite of sacrificing specific conductivity, improve the mechanical property of copper.The copper alloy intensity of alloying preparation is between 350~650MPa, and specific conductivity generally is no more than 90%IACS, is difficult to satisfy electrical part of new generation to performance demands.
According to conductivity theory, a little less than the scattering process that second the scattering process of the electronics that causes in the copper matrix causes in the copper matrix than the solid solution atom many, so complex intensifying can not cause the obvious reduction of copper matrix electroconductibility, and wild phase can also improve the mechanical property of matrix, becomes the main means that obtain high-strength high-conductive copper alloy.Research data shows that the composite material strengths such as Cu-Ta, Cu-Nd that utilize the preparation of compoundization of material are greater than 1400MPa, and electric conductivity reaches more than the 90%IACS, and has obtained the engineering application.The difference that compoundization approach is introduced mode according to strengthening phase can be divided into artificial composite algorithm and in-situ compositing.
Artificial composite algorithm is strengthened the copper matrix by the whisker or the fiber that add second phase artificially in copper, or dependence strengthening phase itself increases the method for the strength of materials, for example oxidation reinforcement, mechanical alloying method and carbon fiber composite algorithm etc.The characteristics of artificial composite algorithm are part method comparative maturities, and its product has obtained engineering and used, but complex process, the production cost height.In-situ compositing is to add a certain amount of alloying element in copper, by certain technology, make the inner original position of copper generate wild phase, rather than strengthen body and two kinds of materials of matrix copper with regard to existing before the processing, comprise viscous deformation composite algorithm, reaction in composite algorithm and growth in situ composite algorithm.Contrast artificial composite algorithm, the matrix and the second phase interface consistency are better in the product that in-situ compositing obtained, and step of preparation process reduces, and production cost reduces.
Titanium carbide (TiC) is a kind of interstitial compound of FCC structure, has plurality of advantages such as high rigidity, high-melting-point, low-resistivity, is widely used in fields such as powder metallurgy.If the TiC disperse is distributed in the fine copper matrix, just can prepare a kind of TiC dispersed and strengthened copper-based composite material of high-strength highly-conductive.Traditional TiC dispersed and strengthened copper-based composite material is earlier separately preparation TiC and Cu powder, obtaining by methods such as mechanical alloyings then.But traditional TiC powder process is comparatively complicated, and cost is higher, thereby causes the production process complexity of TiC dispersed and strengthened copper-based composite material, and cost is higher.
2006; Chinese patent CN1804077A has reported a kind of produced in situ titanium carbide dispersion strengthening copper-based composite material and preparation method thereof: the tin titanium carbide ultrafine powder is mixed with copper powder by predetermined proportion; behind the ball milling 5~15 hours; pack into and cold pressing in the graphite jig; sintering is 0.5~3 hour in the protective atmosphere hot pressing furnace under 800~900 ℃ of temperature, the matrix material that obtains is annealed 2~8 hours at 950~1050 ℃ at last again.This method can successfully be prepared the TiC dispersed and strengthened copper-based composite material, but need prepare ultra-fine high-purity tin titanium carbide powder earlier, has increased preparation section, has improved production cost.
High-energy ball milling (high-energy ball milling) reaction in mechanical alloying method is to utilize mechanical energy to come induced chemical reaction or induced material tissue, structure and changes of properties, has become a kind of important channel of preparation super-fine material and advanced composite material.As a kind of new technology, the high-energy ball-milling alloying method has obvious reduction reaction activity, crystal grain thinning, greatly improves powder activity and improve even particle distribution and strengthen combining of interface between body and the matrix, promote the solid ionic diffusion, bring out the cryochemistry reaction, thereby having improved the performance such as degree of compactness, electricity, calorifics of material, is a kind of energy-conservation, material preparation technology efficiently.
