摘要

This article investigated in detail the effect of P content on the microstructure and properties of Cu–Ni–Fe–P alloys. Through systematic alloy design, the alloys with P contents ranging from 0.13 to 0.22 wt% were prepared. The results revealed that P element promoted the formation of fine precipitation phases (Ni, Fe)2P and refined the grain size. As the P content increased, the tensile strength and hardness first increased and then decreased, while the electrical conductivity gradually decreased. When the P content was 0.16 wt%, the comprehensive performance was optimal. The conductivity and tensile strength of Cu–0.3Ni–0.3Fe–0.16P alloy were 62.3%IACS and 645 MPa, respectively, through cold rolling 90% reduction (90%CR) + aging (AG 450 °C × 4 h) + 60%CR. Compared to Cu–0.3Ni–0.3Fe–0.19P alloy, the tensile strength and conductivity increased by 62 MPa and 5.9%IACS, respectively. When the P content was 0.16 wt%, there was a significant increase in deformation strengthening and second phase strengthening. The softening of Cu–Ni–Fe–P alloys were closely related to the recrystallization and coarsening precipitation. This study provided a theoretical basis for the rational design of Cu–Ni–Fe–P alloys with controllable microstructure and properties, suitable for lead frames and microelectronic applications.
