The invention discloses a low lead and
boron easy-
cutting antimony brass alloy and a preparation method thereof. The chemical components of the low lead
brass alloy are that: 55-65wt percent of
copper, 0.4-1.2wt percent of
antimony, 0.1-0.3wt percent of lead, 0.0003-0.05 wt percent of
boron, 0.05-1.5wt percent of other components, wherein, the other components comprise at least one of the elements of:
magnesium, iron,
tin,
nickel,
silicon,
bismuth and
phosphorus, the other elements are
zinc and inevitable impurities. The production method is that: the low lead and
boron easy-
cutting antimony brass alloy is treated by an alloying treatment and is smelted by a cover protection method to ensure the
metal antimony, boron to become
intermetallic compound through fast
solid solution in the melten brass; the bass
casting ingots are made by
continuous casting under 1020 DEG C; the bass
casting is pressed under a large pressing ratio under the temperature between 680 DEG C and 750 DEG C, anneal in the middle
thermal treatment is under 450-650 DEG C according to cold
process conditions, when the temperature is below 400 DEG C, anneal for eliminating stress is made. The invention has the advantages that the products have good mechanical,
thermoforming,
corrosion resistance,
polishing and
electroplating performance, and successfully solves the problems of singularity of waste chips,
recovery of variety of components and comprehensive utilization and recycling. The
recovery can be singularity or be comprehensive such as comprehensive
recovery of the waste chips of the Cu-Zn-Si
system, Cu-Zn-Bi
system and Cu-Zn-Sb
system alloy. At the same time the lead and brass waste chips can also be partly recovered and utilized.
