The invention relates to a
rare earth-
copper alloy glass mold and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the field of glass mold materials. The
rare earth-
copper alloy glass mold is composed of, by
mass, 9-12% of
nickel, 7-10% of aluminum, 8-12% of
zinc, less than 0.5% of iron, 0.01-0.5% of
rare earth and the balance
copper. The preparation method includes the steps that
brass alloy is prepared from
zinc and electrolytic copper; the aluminum,
nickel, iron and copper which are weighed are put into a
smelting furnace, the
brass alloy is added, standing is carried out, impurities float upward, slagging-off is carried out, copper-rare earth intermediate alloy is added, and slagging-off is carried out again; the temperature of rare earth-
copper alloy glass mold melt to be poured is increased, and the rare earth-
copper alloy glass mold melt to be poured is discharged out of the furnace and poured into a resin
sand casting mold; the obtained rare earth-
copper alloy glass mold to be annealed is subjected to
stress relief annealing and heat preservation and cooled to the
room temperature, and the finished rare earth-copper alloy glass mold is obtained. The flowability and
toughness of the alloy are improved. The strength and
hardness of the alloy are improved, and the abrasion resistance is enhanced. The mechanical properties and impingement
corrosion resistance of materials are improved. The
toughness and
thermal conductivity of the materials are improved.
