The invention relates to an efficient multilayer
composite electrode wire, which comprises a core part and a wrapper wrapped on the core part. The
electrode wire is characterized in that: the core part is provided with a
brass wire core formed by performing
diffusion annealing,
water cooling and continuous drawing and continuous retracting treatment on a
brass core wire, and the metallographic structure of the
brass wire core is mainly an alpha-phase structure; and the wrapper is a diffused
alloy layer formed by performing
diffusion annealing,
water cooling and continuous drawing and continuous retracting treatment on a
copper metal coating and a
zinc metal coating which are sequentially plated on the brass core wire, and the metallographic structure of the diffused
alloy layer is mainly a beta-phase structure. The
electrode wire is prepared by the following steps of: plating the
copper and
zinc metal coatings on the core wire, then performing
diffusion annealing,
water cooling and continuous drawing and continuous retracting treatment, drawing, and thus obtaining the
electrode wire. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: the
cutting efficiency of the efficient multilayer
composite electrode wire is remarkably higher than that of a common galvanized wire, the comprehensive
cutting cost of the efficient multilayer
composite electrode wire is lower than that of the common galvanized wire, and the efficient multilayer composite electrode wire has good universality.
