"The history of human civilization is the history of the development of materials. Materials are regarded as a milestone in the development and evolution of human society. They have experienced the stone tools, bronzes and iron ages, and are now developing in the diversified directions of information materials, biological materials, quantum materials and metamaterials." On December 6th, talking about the discipline of materials science and engineering in Henan University of Science and Technology, Song Kexing, the leader of the discipline, told Dahe.com that in the field of metal materials, the discipline team of the school has broken through a series of problems.
We know that metal materials are widely used in all aspects of national economic life and national defense construction. Take copper for example, as the second largest non-ferrous metal material, it is widely used in aerospace, weapons and equipment, electronic information, high-voltage electrical appliances, rail transit, new energy vehicles and other fields. For example, in the field of integrated circuits, the team cooperated with enterprises to develop the first generation of lead frame copper alloy strip in China since the 1990s, which broke through the bottleneck of copper alloy’s "high strength and high conductivity" and realized the complete localization from complete dependence on imports. In addition, a series of technical problems have been overcome in the manufacture of high-resistance stress relaxation copper alloy, high-performance electrolytic copper foil, copper and precious metal fine wires for high-end connectors, and industrial applications have been realized.
