Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of copper wire production, and in particular to a preparation process of a corrosion-resistant composite copper wire material. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy, the demand for copper wire is increasing, especially for copper wire used in the cable industry, which has particularly high quality requirements. In order to prevent the copper wire from being corroded, silver plating is generally used to protect the copper wire. Although the silver layer has strong corrosion resistance, the surface of the silver-plated copper wire is easily reacted with sulfides, halides, etc. in the air after long-term exposure to air, causing the surface to discolor. This not only destroys the appearance, but also increases the contact resistance and deteriorates the brazing performance.

[0003] There is also a method of using alumina particles and copper-based materials to compound to improve the corrosion resistance of copper wire. However, alumina particles are easy to aggregate and difficult to disperse, and the corrosion resistance of the prepared alumina composite copper wire material is limited. In addition, alumina also has good mechanical strength, but the alumina composite copper wire material cannot take advantage of this advantage of alumina. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Furthermore, step S4 of preparing the corrosion-resistant composite copper wire material comprises the following steps:

[0025] S4.1: ZrB2 powder is mixed with a dispersant and a binder, wherein the volume ratio of ZrB2 powder, dispersant and binder is 1:(5-6):(2-3) to prepare a slurry, and the slurry is applied to the surface of the composite copper wire, followed by drying at 80-100°C to obtain a pretreated copper wire, and then the pretreated copper wire is subjected to a high-temperature heat treatment by sintering at 450-550°C in a high-temperature furnace for 1-2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a treated copper wire in the high-temperature furnace;

[0026] S4.2: Drying the CaF2 powder, SiO2 powder, and TiO2 powder at 80-100°C, respectively, and then mixing with Al-NiO powder and Al-Fe2O3 powder to obtain a coating powder;

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The present invention utilizes silicon nitride whiskers and aluminum oxide whiskers together with copper powder to prepare a composite material. The introduction of silicon nitride whiskers improves the Rockwell hardness and bending strength of the copper-based material. In addition, the growth of aluminum oxide whiskers can be promoted by silicon nitride whiskers. Compared with single whiskers, aluminum oxide / silicon nitride whiskers have a denser structure, thereby improving the adhesion of aluminum oxide / silicon nitride whiskers to the copper-based material. As a result, the prepared corrosion-resistant copper wire material will not dissociate and age due to electrical conductivity or voltage difference after long-term use, and its corrosion resistance will be further improved.

[0036] 2. The present invention first treats the composite copper wire so that the ZrB2 powder is bonded to the composite copper wire through high-temperature heat treatment. The ZrB2 powder is organically bonded to the silicon nitride attached to the copper wire to form an intermediate layer. This intermediate layer has a dense structure and is therefore well bonded to the composite copper wire. Subsequently, the coating powder is centrifuged and ignited to induce an SHS reaction. The coating powder undergoes centrifugal self-propagation and is thus coated on the surface of the treated copper wire. Due to the action of centrifugal force, the ZrB2 coating and the CaF2 powder, SiO2 powder, TiO2 powder, Al-NiO powder and Al-Fe2O3 powder are formed layer by layer on the surface of the copper wire according to a certain weight density, so that the layers are neat and uniform and densely bonded, thereby slowing down the corrosion rate and improving the copper wire material's resistance to dry-wet alternating smoke corrosion.

[0037] 3. The present invention improves the mechanical strength of the copper-based material by introducing alumina into the copper-based material. Alumina has good thermal stability and mechanical strength and is an ideal reinforcement. In addition, the present invention uses alumina whiskers to reinforce the copper-based material, which improves the wear resistance of the composite copper wire material compared to alumina powder.

[0105] Time to corrosion onset (h) Corrosion area (%) Time to 10% corrosion (h) Time to 50% corrosion (h) Example 1 26-28 0.50% 58-74 92-99 Example 2 26-28 0.50% 59-74 91-100 Example 3 26-28 0.50% 58-73 92-101 Comparative Example 1 23-25 0.60% 54-57 85-92 Comparative Example 2 19-22 0.70% 51-55 79-84 Comparative Example 3 19-21 0.60% 50-54 74-80 Comparative Example 4 24-27 0.50% 52-58 67-71

[0106] It can be seen that the time for the embodiment to begin to corrode is 26-28 hours, while the time for the comparative example 1 is at most 25 hours. In addition, the initial corrosion area of ​​the embodiment is also 0.1% smaller than that of the comparative example 1. Subsequently, the embodiment corrodes to 10% between 58-74 hours, while the comparative example 1 has already corroded to 10% around 54-57 hours, and the time for corrosion to reach 50% is even shorter. This is because, although the coating powder used in the comparative example 1 has not changed, the coating powder is applied by the laser cladding method, and the bonding between the coating and the copper wire material is not tight enough. Therefore, the overall corrosion resistance is not as good as that of the embodiment using the centrifugal self-propagating method.

[0107] Comparative Examples 2 and 3 show that both aluminum oxide and silicon nitride whiskers provide a certain degree of corrosion resistance for the copper wire material. When used alone, the time for both to begin corrosion is about 19-22 hours, and the time to corrosion to 10% is about 50-55 hours. The time to corrosion to 50% is different. When aluminum oxide whiskers are used alone, it is 79-84 hours, and when silicon nitride is used alone, it is 74-80 hours. When used together in the examples, there is a synergistic effect, and the time to corrosion to 50% increases to 91-101 hours, which has a good corrosion resistance effect.

[0108] After removing ZrB2 from Comparative Example 4, the corrosion resistance was not greatly affected in a short period of time. The time to corrosion to 10% decreased slightly to 52-58h, while the time to corrosion to 50% was greatly reduced to only 67-71h. This is because after removing the ZrB2 coating, the adhesion between the coating powder and the copper wire material is insufficient and it is easy to fall off. Therefore, after a period of time, the coating powder falls off, thereby significantly reducing the corrosion resistance.

[0109] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
