摘 要: 利用硬度计、双臂电桥、金相显微镜、透射电镜和背散射电子衍射观察等技术研究Cu-0.3Mg-0.16Ca(质量分数,%)合金在加工过程中组织结构的演变规律及性能变化。结果表明:设计合金经780 ℃、1 h固溶处理后冷轧变形状80%时,硬度为167HV,抗拉强度为545 MPa,电导率70.24%IACS;当变形量达到90%时,硬度为174HV,抗拉强度为600 MPa,电导率为68.68%IACS,均高于同状态下的高铁接触线用CTMH型Cu-0.4Mg合金的性能。设计合金固溶态组织为以大角度晶界为主的等轴晶,所占比例最高的是60°的大角度晶界;随着冷变形的进行,合金组织中开始出现分布不均匀的小角度晶界,随着变形量的进一步增加,小角度晶界先增多后减少。当变形量达到80%时,合金轧面的变形织构以S剪切织构和Copper织构为主,此时合金显微组织中的变形条带发生弯曲,向胞状组织过渡。

Abstract:The microstructure evolution of the designed Cu-0.3Mg-0.16Ca (mass fraction, %) alloy was studied by metallographic microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffractometry. The result shows that, after being homogenized at 780 ℃ for 1 h, followed by cold rolling with a reduction of 80%, the designed alloy shows prospective comprehensive properties with tensile strength of 545 MPa and electrical conductivity of 70.24%IACS. When being cold-rolled to 90% reduction, the tensile strength and electrical conductivity of Cu-0.3Mg-0.16Ca (mass fraction, %) alloy approach 600 MPa and 68.68%IACS, respectively, which are both higher than those of CTMH Cu-0.4Mg alloy that is commonly used in high-speed railway contact wires. The fraction of low-angle grain boundaries of the alloy increases and then decreases with the increase of deformation. After a cold rolling reduction of 80%, the textures of S and Copper are predominatant.
