The invention relates to an
ageing strengthening
copper alloy strip. The
copper alloy strip is composed of components including, by weight, 0.4%-1.3% of Si, 2%-4.5% of Ni, 0.06%-0.2% of Cr, 0.2%-0.8%of Zn, 0.05%-0.2% of Mg and the balance
copper and inevitable trace impurities. Preparing steps include that burdening and
smelting are carried out; Mg is added for
deoxygenation treatment; when the temperature of a holding furnace reaches the
casting temperature being 1220 DEG C-1300 DEG C, and a horizontal
continuous casting red
ingot casting technology is adopted; face milling, rough rolling and
solution treatment are carried out; intermediate rolling is carried out after surface washing; second
solid solution is carried out; finished product finish rolling is carried out after surface washing; finished product aging is carried out; surface washing and
surface grinding polishing are carried out; and finished stripping, checking and packaging are carried out. The
ageing strengthening
copper alloy strip has the good processability and
casting performance, has the advantages of high strength, high elasticity,
high conductivity, excellent resistance to high temperatures and good stressrelaxation resistance and is an ideal material for a
lead frame, and the preparing technology is simple.
