AI Technical Summary
Traditional hot-dip tin plating of copper foil often results in problems such as poor solder adhesion or low solder adhesion rate. Furthermore, the use of strong acid flux can lead to secondary oxidation or corrosion, resulting in poor solder joints and solder loss.
The copper-aluminum composite strip T2-8011 is used. The surface roughness is controlled by grinding and foil rolling. Oxides and oil spots are removed by alkaline washing and acid washing. After coating with a special adhesive, a tin layer is formed by vacuum sputtering or molten tin. Low-temperature finishing is then performed to avoid the use of chemical flux.
It increases the tinning rate of copper foil to 75-93%, avoids tin loss, reduces production costs, and provides alloy materials with superior electrical conductivity and heat dissipation performance.
