Abstract:
      Effect of aging process with 400~550 ℃ for 1~8 h on microstructure and properties of Cu-1.3Ni-0.3Si alloy with 0~70% cold deformation was investigated by OM, SEM and EDS. The results show that hardness of alloy with different cold deformation reaches the peak value after aging at 450 ℃ for 1 h. Upon temperature rising to 500 ℃, the electrical conductivity of alloy reaches the maximum value, with a large number of fine dispersed second phase particles in the matrix structure. Conductivity of alloy rises constantly with extension of holding time. The greater degree of deformation is, the more obvious alloy conductivity rises. Hardness of alloy with 70% pre-cooling deformation after aging at 450 ℃ for 3 h is 180HB and conductivity is 52%IACS. Compared to untreated alloy, the maximum hardness of alloy after aging rises by about 21%, and electrical conductivity rises by about 11%.
