Problems solved by technology

Patent CN107723773A discloses an aluminum alloy bionic superhydrophobic anti-icing surface, which has hydrophobicity after the freezing-melting process, but does not report on the ice adhesion performance of the surface
[0004] From the above research status, although there have been patents and literature reports on superhydrophobic surfaces of aluminum alloys, the reported superhydrophobic surfaces of aluminum alloys rarely involve ice adhesion, and the ice adhesion of reported superhydrophobic surfaces is still relatively low. High, it is difficult to achieve the effect of ice falling off by itself

Embodiment 1-1

[0044] The invention discloses a micro-nano structure on the surface of a super-hydrophobic anti-icing aviation aluminum alloy with ultra-low ice adhesion. figure 1 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the surface is composed of periodically distributed complex micro-nano tertiary structures. Among them, the nanostructure is a two-dimensional nanosheet structure, which is densely grown on the surface of the three-dimensional microcone; the submicron spherical structure is grown by stacking nanosheets. The diameter is about 500nm, dispersed on the microcone, and the whole three-dimensional three-level complex micro-nano structure has the structural characteristics of integrated interconnection. After surface chemical modification, the surface can exhibit a water droplet contact angle of about 160°, such as figure 2 shown. The ice adhesion strength of this surface is only 6kPa, compared with the untreated aluminum alloy surface (240kPa), the ice adhesion strength is red...

Abstract

A super-hydrophobic anti-icing aviation aluminum alloy surface with ultralow ice adhesion is composed of a multi-stage micro-nano structure, the micro-nano structure is based on a three-dimensional micron cone structure periodically distributed on the surface of an aluminum alloy base material, and densely-growing nanosheets and nano flower clusters composed of the nanosheets are distributed on the surface of a micron cone; and one or two of submicron spheres and submicron flowers are dispersed and distributed on the surface of the micron cone or between the micron cones. The invention furtherdiscloses a production method of the surface, the surface is formed by combining ultrafast laser ablation and a wet chemical method and then carrying out low-free-energy surface chemical modification, and large-area efficient production can be achieved. The aviation aluminum alloy anti-icing surface has extremely low ice adhesion, adhesion strength between ice and the surface can be as low as 6 kPa, and the ice can automatically fall off under the action of self gravity or slight vibration. The surface structure can be widely applied to anti-icing fields of aviation key components, ships, ground transportation tools, refrigerators, air conditioners and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aviation functional materials, in particular to a superhydrophobic anti-icing aviation aluminum alloy surface and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Icing on the surface of aircraft wings and some key parts at high altitude will lead to dangerous airflow conditions, increase drag, and even seriously affect the stability and safety of aircraft, resulting in flight accidents. At present, the methods of deicing the aircraft surface mainly include traditional deicing methods such as hot gas deicing, electric heating deicing and mechanical deicing. The energy consumption restricts the improvement of the overall performance of the aircraft, and will also cause damage to the wing surface and accelerate the aging of equipment. In recent years, new anti-icing technology and anti-icing surfaces have become the focus of development at home and abroad. Among them, super-hydrophobic micro-nano structur...
