Abstract:

High-strength and high-conductivity copper alloy is a kind of structural function materials, which has excellent comprehensive mechanical and physical properties. The strengthening methods of copper alloy are summarized. The basic requirements of high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloy is established. The application of the materials is described, including lead frame materials, electrified contact wires materials, electrode Materials. Meanwhile, the alumina dispersion strengthened copper alloy is introduced. The internal oxidation process, structure, dispersoid and anti-intenerate properties have also been analysis in detail. Finally, the development direction of this material is put forward.
