Problems solved by technology

Cu-Ag and Cu-Sn have good electrical conductivity, but their strength and high temperature softening resistance are relatively low; the Cu-Cr-Zr copper alloy contact wire alloy currently being developed in China is expected to meet the strength of more than 600MPa and the conductivity of more than 80% IACS high-end demand, but the production process of this precipitation-strengthened contact wire is complicated, and heat treatment must be carried out, so it is difficult to achieve large-scale production
Cu-Mg alloy is currently the most used on high-speed lines, with good tensile strength (500-550MPa), but the electrical conductivity is difficult to break through 70% IACS

The alloy is made by vacuum melting and has high conductivity. But its strength is less than 400MPa, and the elongation is very low
The above alloys are all designed based on the deoxidation effect of P and the formation of the second phase, but it is difficult for all P elements to combine with Mg, which makes it difficult to improve the electrical conductivity of the alloy.

The copper-magnesium alloy contains 0.02wt% to 0.10wt% of magnesium, ≤0.01wt% of silver, and the balance is copper and unavoidable impurities , through the addition of silver, the electrical conductivity of the alloy exceeds 90%, but it also greatly reduces the strength of the alloy
