Abstract：

Cu-2.36Ni-0.60Si-0.13Mg-0.059Zn alloy ingot was prepared by vacuum melting furnace, and the alloy plate with the thickness of 12 mm was obtained by using hot forging to cogging and then hot rolling. Then, the alloy strip with the thickness of 1 mm was obtained by multi-pass cold rolling, and the aging treatments under different conditions were conducted. Furthermore, the microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the alloy strip during cold rolling and aging processes were tested by optical metallography (OM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), mechanical property test and electrical property test. The results show that with the continuous increasing of rolling deformation amount, the initial microstructure changes to fibrous, the grains are broken, and the hardness of alloy is improved. When the rolling deformation amount is 90%, the microhardness reaches 203.8 HV. After aging treatment at 450 ℃ for 6 h, the better comprehensive properties with the microhardness of 281.4 HV and the electrical conductivity of 46.4% IACS for the cold rolled plate are obtained. With the increasing of aging temperature, the size of the second phase increases obviously from 9.0 nm to 24.9 nm, and the matrix Goss and Z-shaped textures are transformed into R-cube and Goss textures after aging treatment.
