Problems solved by technology

[0004] The methods mentioned above are mostly used for sheet-like and linear-shaped aluminum materials with completely exposed surfaces, while finned heat exchangers usually consist of hundreds of aluminum sheets stacked at a distance of about 1 mm. The structure is complex and there is a physical gap between the aluminum sheets. Spatially occlude each other, so it is difficult to achieve uniform surface treatment on aluminum fins with the currently reported methods
For example: sandpaper cannot be polished to the stacked part of the aluminum sheet, the electrochemical method requires additional conductivity requirements for the fins, chemical vapor deposition cannot assemble superhydrophobic deposits on the aluminum sheet in the stacked part, etc.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for building a super-hydrophobic coating on a metal surface. The method comprises the steps that metal base materials are cleaned in a lye solution at 50-70 DEG C andan acid solution at 50-70 DEG C to remove grease on the surface; chemical etching treatment is carried out on the metal surface by using an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution at room temperature for5-15 minutes; and hydrophobic substance with low-surface-energy is assembled onto the metal surface after the chemical etching treatment, and then solidification treatment is carried out. According tothe method for building the super-hydrophobic coating on the metal surface, the super-hydrophobic coating is built on the metal surface, the used preparation method has no special restrictions on theshape of metal, and coating can be carried out on the surface of a test piece with complicated shape. The method does not require special equipment, has simple process, easy operation and mild condition, is especially suitable for metal parts with irregular shape such as heat exchanger fins, and is easy for industrialized mass production. After the gained coating is placed for a long period, preferable super-hydrophobic performance is still maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for constructing a superhydrophobic coating on a metal surface. Background technique [0002] Metal aluminum is the most widely used non-ferrous metal structural material in the industry. Compared with common metals such as iron, copper, and steel, aluminum and its alloys have low density, light weight, excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, and good plasticity (applicable It is a metal material with excellent comprehensive properties, such as a series of excellent properties such as high specific strength and easy surface treatment. Aluminum alloys are widely used in mechanical parts, automobile manufacturing, aerospace industry, electronic communication equipment, architectural decoration, air source heat pump systems and many other industries. Taking the air source heat pump system as an example, most of the heat exchangers are aluminum products. In order to achieve good heat dissipation perfor...
