3 Terminology of heat treatment of beryllium paste copper
3.1 Annealing
Annealing of beryllium bronze means heating and keeping warm for a sufficient period of time below the β phase eutectoid transformation temperature. The purpose of annealing is mainly to soften the structure and eliminate stress.
3.1.1 Low temperature annealing
Generally at 550~570℃, keep warm for 2~6h. The cold-processed beryllium bronze undergoes recrystallization through low temperature annealing to eliminate work hardening, which is usually used as an intermediate softening process. 3.1.2 Stress relief annealing, generally at 150~200℃, keep warm for 1~1.5h, also known as stabilization treatment. 3.2 Solution treatment
Solution treatment of beryllium bronze is also called annealing, which is heated above the solvus line, kept warm for a certain time, and then quickly cooled by water. The solution temperature is generally 770~790℃. Approved by the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry of the People's Republic of China on February 10, 1989 and implemented on March 1, 1989
SJ3197-89
The purpose of solution treatment is to fully dissolve the beryllium-rich phase (β phase) in beryllium bronze into the matrix to obtain a supersaturated α solid solution, so as to prepare the organization for subsequent aging strengthening; at the same time, the material after solution treatment has good plasticity and is easy to process and shape in the factory.
3.3 Aging||tt ||Solution treated or solution treated and then cold worked beryllium bronze is kept at an appropriate temperature for a certain period of time to decompose the supersaturated α solid solution and precipitate the strengthening phase.
The purpose of aging treatment is mainly to precipitate the strengthening phase through the supersaturated α solid solution, obtain the ideal high strength, hardness, elasticity and other properties, and obtain stable part size and shape. 3.3.1 Peak aging: Beryllium blue steel containing 1.6~2.0% beryllium is kept at 320~340℃ for 2~3 h aging treatment, due to the full precipitation of the strengthening phase, its strength and hardness reach the highest value. Bee value aging is suitable for elastic components with high comprehensive performance requirements.
3.3.2 Under-aging: lower than the peak aging temperature, generally 250~280℃, keep warm for 2~3h. Due to insufficient precipitation of the strengthening phase, the highest strength and hardness are not reached. Under-aging is suitable for elastic components with low requirements for strength and elasticity, but certain requirements for plasticity, toughness and fatigue performance; or it is used to improve the cutting performance of beryllium bronze. 3.3.3 Over-aging: higher than the peak aging temperature, generally 350~400C, keep warm for 0.5~2h. Due to the aggregation of strengthening phases, the strength and hardness are significantly reduced. Over-aging is suitable for elastic components with low requirements for strength and elasticity, but high working temperature, and high requirements for organizational stability and conductivity. 3.3.4 Step-by-step aging: first carry out low-temperature pre-aging at 150~240℃, and then carry out pre-aging at 320~340℃. Peak aging. Step aging can improve elastic limit, fatigue life and stress relaxation resistance. 3.3.5 Double or multiple aging: Aging is completed twice or multiple times. It can reduce deformation, stabilize size and further improve mechanical properties.

②The requirements for the microstructure and performance of beryllium bronze after heat treatment in this section are applicable to bars and strips, and are only for reference to rods and wires. 6.3 Heat treatment quality control
6.3.1 Heat treatment surface quality control
Before heat treatment, clean the parts with cleaning agents such as gasoline and anhydrous ethanol, dry them, and remove surface oil, hand sweat, water stains or other corrosive substances.
The solution treatment of beryllium bronze should be carried out in a protective atmosphere or vacuum heating furnace. If the aging treatment of beryllium bronze is carried out in air, oil bath or salt bath medium, it will cause surface oxidation and discoloration. Although it has no significant effect on the mechanical properties of the material, it will affect the appearance and is not conducive to welding and electroplating. In order to prevent oxidation and improve the surface finish, it is recommended to use protective atmosphere or vacuum aging heat treatment. After aging, it should be cooled to below 100℃ before stopping the vacuum or stopping the protective atmosphere. Commonly used protective gases are: nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, which are generally obtained by decomposition of ammonia, petroleum gas, methanol, ethanol, etc. The gas purity and flow rate should be strictly controlled during operation. When vacuum aging is used, the general vacuum degree should be kept above 6.67P (5×10-mmHg). 6.3.2 Control of grain growth during solution treatment The quality of solution treatment directly affects the performance of beryllium bronze after aging. Therefore, the grain growth during solution treatment must be strictly controlled according to the grain size requirements in Table 3. Preliminary tests should be carried out for important parts, and the appropriate solution treatment process specifications should be determined according to the grain size requirements. If the solution treatment temperature is too low or the time is too short, insufficient solid solution will be caused, reducing the aging strengthening effect; and the grains are too fine6
SJ3197--89
small, resulting in an increase in the amount of grain boundary reaction during aging and a decrease in performance. If the solution treatment temperature is too high or the time is too long, it will cause overheating and grain coarsening, mechanical properties will decrease, and even cause local overburning and quenching cracking. If the solution treatment temperature exceeds 800℃, overheating will occur, and if it exceeds 850C, it will cause overburning.
6.3.3 Cooling after solution treatment
After solution treatment, the parts should be quenched into water from the furnace as soon as possible to prevent the precipitation of the second phase. The fire delay time should not exceed 2S for thin and fine parts, and 3S for general parts. The cooling medium for the fire is flowing water, and the water temperature should be below 25℃.
6.3.4 Re-quenching
When the grain size is too fine or the β phase is too much after solution treatment, and the mechanical properties do not meet the requirements (except for the grain size exceeding the upper limit), solution treatment is allowed to be repeated. Generally, the number of re-quenching shall not exceed 2 times. 6.3.5 Control of discontinuous precipitation of grain boundaries during aging treatment For materials with grades QBe2, QBe1.9, and QBe1.7, the discontinuous precipitation of r phase at the grain boundary is sensitive to the aging temperature. The aging temperature and time should be strictly controlled. After peak aging, the grain boundary reaction amount should be controlled within 8%. For QBeMg2-0.1 and QBeMg1.7-0.1 materials containing trace magnesium, the aging temperature or time can be appropriately increased because the addition of magnesium significantly inhibits the grain boundary reaction; after peak aging, the grain boundary reaction amount shall not exceed 2%. 6.3.6 Control of aging deformationbzxZ.net
During the aging process of beryllium bronze materials, the length and volume shrink due to changes in the organizational structure. For parts with complex shapes, deformation occurs due to uneven shrinkage. To prevent or reduce deformation, a reasonable fixture can be used; if necessary, manual correction can also be used, and then stress relief annealing is performed. 7 Inspection of beryllium copper paste elastic elements after heat treatment After heat treatment, beryllium bronze elastic elements should be inspected for appearance and various organizational and performance inspections in accordance with the relevant product technical conditions, design documents and process documents. 7.1 Appearance inspection
7.1.1 After heat treatment, the surface of the parts shall not have blistering, cracks, oxidation and rust. 7.1.2. After aging treatment, the geometric dimensions of the parts shall meet the requirements of the drawings. If there are special technical requirements, they should be inspected on special equipment.
7.2 Metallographic inspection
7.2.1 The metallographic specimen should be taken from the largest longitudinal section perpendicular to the surface and parallel to the direction of the material. The evaluation standards for the grain size, β phase and grain boundary reaction are shown in Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C. 7.2.2 After solution treatment, the grain size and β phase structure of the material shall comply with the provisions of Table 3. 7.2.3 After aging treatment, in the metallographic structure of the material, a fine, dispersed phase structure shall be formed in the α matrix, and the grain boundary reaction amount shall comply with the provisions of Article 6.3.5. 7.3 Hardness test
