Effects of Solid Solution and Aging Treatment on Texture Evolution and Properties of Cu-Ni-Si Alloy

Abstract:

The relationship between textures and properties of Cu-Ni-Si alloys was analyzed in this paper. The texture evolution of high strength and high elasticity Cu-Ni-Si alloy in different cold rolling and heat treatment processes was researched by the fiber analysis. And the electrical conductivity and tensile strength in different directions of the Cu-Ni-Si alloy were measured. The results showed that there were mainly Brass texture B{011}<211>，Gauss texture G {011}<100> and Copper texture C {211}<111> in the cold-rolled Cu-Ni-Si alloy. With the increase of cold deformation, the Copper texture was weakening, while the Gauss texture and Brass texture increased. When the deformation was 65%, there was almost no Copper texture in the alloy, and only Gauss and Brass texture exist. After the solid solution and aging process, both the Gauss and Brass texture were weakening, while the S texture {123}<624> increased greatly. After 4 hours aging the conductivity was up to 42.7% IACS. And the tensile strength of different directions is 745.5MPa (0°direction,RD), 684.5MPa (90°direction,TD) and 653.5MPa (45°direction) respectively. Based on the above results, maximum Schmid factor of different textures in different directions and the Index of Plane Anisotropy (IPA) were been analyzed.
