The invention relates to a novel high-strength high-
conductivity copper-based
alloy and preparation method thereof, which belongs to
copper-based electrical material. The chemical compositions of the weight percentage of the
copper-based electrical
alloy are 0.01-5.0Eu, 0.01-5.0Gd, 0.01-5.0Er, 0.01-3.0C and Cu which holds the weight percentage. The process for preparing the copper-based
alloy is to allocate Cu, Eu, Gd, and Er (mixed
rare earth element) according to the composition proportion of the alloy design, melt the mixture in the vacuum medium-frequency and fuse the mixture in the
powder-making device, fast solidify the
inert gas to atomize, and then CuEuGdEr alloy
powder is produced. The
powder is mixed with C powder by mechanical alloying, and then the mixed powder is processed by the
processing technique of isostatic cool pressing formation, sinter,
extrusion and the like to achieve the production of
pipe, rod or sheet. The alloy material is characterized by good heat and electrical
conductivity, large strength of
room temperature, high resoftening temperature and high conductive rate, which can be used as conducting bar, resistance
welding electrode, blasting fuse frame, conducting bridge,
commutator and the like in the industries of
electric power, electrotechnology,
electronics and electromechannics.
