The invention relates to a
smelting method for producing
copper strips with bright surface, no crack and good
plasticity. The
smelting method for improving
copper strip
plasticity is characterized in that rare-earth element
cerium is added in pure
copper by a mode of intermediate
alloy, the input amount is 105-120g per
ton of copper water, and the
casting process flow is as follows: burdening,
smelting, warming, adding
cerium, entering a holding furnace by subcurrent type copper water,
casting, milling face, cold blooming, annealing,
pickling, finish rolling, annealing of an
air cushion furnace, stretch bending, slitting and packaging. The rare-earth element
cerium hardly dissolves in copper by a
solid mode, a bit of addition of the cerium is in favor of
mechanical property of copper and has no obvious influence on copper
conductivity, and the important point is that cerium can form high-melting-point compounds with impurities of lead and
bismuth in copper which are distributed in copper water in fine spherical particles, thus being in favor of nucleating, refining
crystal particles, improving high-temperature
plasticity of copper and enhancing copper elongation by adding cerium.
