Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal tinning, and in particular to a high-density punching tinned copper strip electroplating solution and a processing method. Background Art

[0002] Punched tinned copper strip is an ideal carrier for the negative active material of nickel-zinc batteries. Nickel-zinc batteries have the following significant advantages: (1) high operating voltage, reaching 1.65 volts; (2) excellent specific energy; (3) excellent discharge power; (4) significant environmental protection characteristics, ensuring intrinsic safety and pollution-free; (5) relatively low cost, providing excellent cost-effectiveness, etc., which makes nickel-zinc batteries widely used in green transportation, power tools and electrochemical energy storage fields.

[0003] During the production process of punched tin-plated copper strip, a layer of metallic tin is electroplated on the surface of the copper strip, which not only effectively prevents the oxidation corrosion of copper, but also significantly improves the winding and welding performance of the electrode, thereby better adapting to the high current discharge requirements of nickel-zinc batteries.

[0004] However, in the process of electroplating tin on the surface of copper strip, some challenges may be encountered, such as impurity ion replacement, cathode hydrogen evolution and other side reactions. The occurrence of these side reactions will cause defects such as blackening, pinholes, pitting and pores on the surface of the coating, resulting in reduced density and corrosion resistance of the coating, seriously affecting the quality and performance of the product. Therefore, antioxidants, chromium-containing passivation or cyanide and other substances are added to the commonly used tin plating solution formula. This leads to the consumption of the above ingredients in the plating solution with the product after a period of production, resulting in a decrease in the proportion of effective ingredients in the plating solution, which in turn leads to a series of problems such as the manifestation of surface defects, low thickness and reduced density of the coating, and ultimately leads to a decrease in the overall quality of the product. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-density punched tin-plated copper strip electroplating solution and processing method, which has no defects such as blackening, pinholes, pitting, pores, etc. on the coating surface and has strong coating bonding and good corrosion resistance.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present invention provides a high-density punching tinned copper strip electroplating solution, comprising:

[0007] Methanesulfonic acid 100mL / L~180mL / L, tin methanesulfonate 100mL / L~170mL / L, 180 additive 20mL / L~40mL / L, 180 auxiliary agent 20mL / L~40mL / L;

[0013] Methanesulfonic acid 140mL / L, tin methanesulfonate 135mL / L, 180 additive 30mL / L, 180 auxiliary agent 30mL / L.

[0014] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for processing a high-density punched tinned copper strip, the method using any one of the above-mentioned sets of high-density punched tinned copper strip electroplating solutions, the steps are as follows:

[0015] S1. Punching: Use a high-speed punching machine to punch holes on the copper strip;

[0016] S2. Degreasing: The punched copper strip is subjected to cation-cation cross electrolytic degreasing in the degreasing liquid to remove stains and deposits on the surface of the punched copper strip and discharge hydrogen that has penetrated into the metal;

[0017] S3, surface activation: firstly, the degreased punching copper strip is washed with deionized water for the first time, and then the surface is activated with methanesulfonic acid liquid after the first washing;

[0018] S4. Tin plating: first use deionized water to wash the punched copper strip after surface activation for the second time, and then quickly enter the electroplating tank with a total length of 8m for tin plating. The electroplating solution in the electroplating tank is the above-mentioned high-density punched tin-plated copper strip electroplating solution. The electroplating temperature is 5℃~30℃. During electroplating, the pure metal tin ball is used as the anode and the punched copper strip is used as the cathode. The moving speed of the punched copper strip is 5m / min~20m / min, and the current distribution is 2Ah / dm 2 ~4Ah / dm 2 , the control voltage is 4V~10V;

[0019] S5, washing and drying: After the electroplating is completed, the punched copper strip is washed for the third time and then dried to obtain a high-density punched tinned copper strip.

[0020] As some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the copper strip in step S1 is 0.1 mm, and the surface is required to be flat after punching.

[0021] As some embodiments of the present invention, in step S2, the degreasing liquid is a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 50 g / L to 90 g / L, the degreasing temperature is 40° C. to 70° C., and the degreasing current is 70A to 90A.

[0022] As some embodiments of the present invention, in step S3, 5% to 10% methanesulfonic acid liquid is used for surface activation.

[0023] As some embodiments of the present invention, in step S4, the electroplating temperature is 10°C to 25°C, the punching copper belt moving speed is 8m / min to 15m / min, and the current distribution is 3Ah / dm 2 , the voltage is 5V~7V.

[0024] As preferred embodiments of some embodiments of the present invention, in step S4, the electroplating temperature is 15° C., the moving speed of the punching copper strip is 10 m / min, and the voltage is 6V.

[0025] As some embodiments of the present invention, in step S5, the oven temperature is set to 150°C during drying.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] In the electroplating solution of the present invention, polyalkylene glycol is used to replace antioxidants, chromium-containing passivation products or cyanide and the like in the traditional electroplating solution, so that the electroplating solution is more environmentally friendly and safe. A small amount of methanol and relatively high content of methanesulfonic acid and tin methanesulfonate are added to the electroplating solution, so that during the electroplating process, methanesulfonic acid continuously generates tin methanesulfonate at the positive electrode of the pure metal tin ball, and the tin methanesulfonate in the solution continuously plates tin on the surface of the negative electrode perforated copper strip to generate new methanesulfonic acid, so that the tin plating system is in a dynamic equilibrium process. The electroplating solution is initially configured with a certain concentration of tin methanesulfonate, so that sufficient tin elements are electroplated on the surface of the perforated copper strip in the initial stage of electroplating. Because polyalkylene glycol and methanol do not participate in the electroplating reaction process, and will not gather near the negative electrode perforated copper belt, therefore, although the electroplating solution will be partially consumed as the product is taken out, only the total amount of the electroplating solution is reduced, and the content of its various components remains basically unchanged, so that the electroplating tin process is continuous and stable, and a uniform tin-plating layer of 1.5μm to 3.0μm is formed on the surface of the perforated copper belt by quickly transferring the anode tin to the cathode perforated copper belt, and the plating layer is well combined with the substrate, the plating layer is finely crystallized, without pinholes and pitting, and is not oxidized or blackened.

[0028] In the processing of high-density perforated tin-plated copper strips, the temperature of the electroplating process is controlled at about 15°C, which ensures the normal and stable operation of the electroplating on the one hand, and avoids the volatilization of substances in the electroplating solution on the other hand, ensuring the balance of the substance content in the electroplating solution. The electrolytic positive and negative cross-level degreasing method is adopted to quickly remove the stains on the surface of the perforated copper strip through cathode degreasing, and then the positive and negative poles are changed so that the cathode becomes the anode, and the hydrogen that penetrates into the metal is removed in a short time, and the deposition on the surface of the perforated copper strip is dissolved to obtain a clean surface. Then the surface of the perforated copper strip is activated, so that it is easier to adhere to tin on its surface during electroplating, enhance the bonding force between the coating and the substrate, improve the flatness of the coating, and make the coating dense. After the surface activation, the perforated copper strip is quickly put into the electroplating tank to avoid contamination of other substances on the activated surface and avoid deactivation of the activated surface.

[0088] In the present invention, the testing principle of the gas evolution amount is: a micro-battery is formed in a glass bottle using impurities on the surface of zinc and tin layers (mainly iron and nickel) in a 30% KOH electrolyte. When the density of the tin coating is poor and there are many gaps on the surface, the metal impurities doped in the coating react electrochemically with zinc, and gas is precipitated on the electrode surface. In a sealed environment, the thrust of the gas pushes the paraffin oil into the plastic tube of the syringe, and the metal impurities can be measured from the amount of paraffin oil seeping out to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the coating.

[0089] The gas evolution test method is as follows: the sample is cut into 15cm×3cm sheets along the length direction, washed with deionized water and then dried, the sample is placed in a drying tray, placed in a constant temperature oven at 200°C for 45 minutes, the tray is taken out, and cooled at room temperature.

[0090] Place the cooled sample in a 30mL glass bottle and add 5g of zinc powder to evenly distribute it at the bottom of the bottle; then add 20mL of 30% potassium hydroxide solution into the glass bottle, fill the remaining space of the glass bottle with paraffin oil, seal the rubber cover, then put the aluminum cover on the rubber cover and seal it with a sealer.

[0091] Remove the inner plastic core of the disposable syringe, tighten the needle, and then insert the syringe into the rubber cap (the needle must be fully inserted); apply the prepared AB glue to the joints between the needle and the bottle cap, the joints between the bottle cap and the glass bottle, and the gaps between the plastic cap and the aluminum cap. Start timing, record the liquid level on the syringe every 24 hours, record for 3 times in a row, and get the average value of the readings for 3 days, which is the gas evolution test data of the sample.
