Microstructure and Properties of Cu-Ag-Y Alloy with High Strength and High Conductivity by Aging Treatment
In order to develop a new type of e lectrical contact wires with high strength and high e lectrical conductivity, Cu-2Ag-0.5Y alloy was se lected as materials.Cu-Ag-Y alloy was prepared by continuous casting, cold drawing and aging treat ment.By means of the analysis of microhardness, e lectrical conductivity, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, the aging properties and microstructures of the Cu-Ag-Y alloy were investigated at different aging tempera tures and time after different cold deformation.The results show that the Cu-2Ag-0.5Y alloy has an excellent combination of microhardness and electri cal conductivity aged at 500℃ for 4 h, the micro hardness and the dectrical conductivity reach 166 HV and 82.2% IACS, respectively.The main strengthening mechanisms for the Cu-2 % Ag0.5 % Y alloy are the work hardening and the second phase or interfaces strengthening.It was suggested that cold deformation prior to aging treatment can accelerate the precipication of the second phase, and improve the comprehensive properties of the CuAg-Y alloy.
