Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of medicine foil, and more specifically to a grain-refining medicine foil based on multi-parameter composite regulation. Background Art

[0002] Medicinal aluminum foil is an important material in the field of pharmaceutical packaging. It has good barrier properties, light-shielding properties and corrosion resistance, and can effectively protect drugs from the external environment. It is widely used in the packaging of tablets, capsules and other drugs. Traditional medicinal aluminum foil is usually made of pure aluminum or ordinary aluminum alloy. Although it has certain mechanical properties and protective functions, it still has deficiencies in grain refinement, strength and toughness, and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern pharmaceutical packaging for high performance, long-term storage and safety.

[0003] In practical applications, the degree of grain refinement of pharmaceutical packaging materials directly affects their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Grain-refined aluminum foil not only has better strength and toughness, but also can maintain high integrity and uniformity during the thinning process, thereby reducing material loss in pharmaceutical packaging. Therefore, it is of great significance to prepare a grain-refined pharmaceutical foil based on multi-parameter composite regulation. Summary of the invention

[0019] S403, finishing rolling: the finishing rolling temperature is room temperature; the reduction rate is 60-80%; the finishing speed is controlled at 20m / min-30m / min.

[0020] Furthermore, the parameters of the finished product annealing in S5 are: annealing temperature: 180°C to 220°C; holding time controlled to be 1 to 3 hours; cooling method is cooling in air.

[0021] Furthermore, S6 further includes the following steps:

[0027] Beneficial effects:

[0028] The present invention provides a grain-refining foil based on multi-parameter composite control, which specifically includes the following advantages:

[0029] (1) By adopting precise alloy composition design combined with semi-continuous casting and electromagnetic stirring processes, the present invention can significantly refine the grain structure of aluminum alloy. Grain refinement enables aluminum foil to exhibit higher strength and toughness in mechanical properties, especially to maintain good integrity during thinning processing, effectively reducing material loss.

[0030] (2) After multi-stage heat treatment process optimization including homogenization annealing and two-stage heat treatment, the internal stress of the pharmaceutical aluminum foil is released and the grains are uniformly refined. This process makes the aluminum foil not only have good tensile strength and ductility, but also have excellent tear resistance, which can adapt to the multiple rolling and forming requirements required in the pharmaceutical packaging process.

[0031] (3) Through reasonable composition control and electromagnetic stirring process, the surface density and uniformity of aluminum alloy are significantly improved, which greatly enhances the corrosion resistance of pharmaceutical aluminum foil. In the subsequent surface passivation treatment and epoxy resin coating application, the coating and the substrate are more closely combined, which can effectively resist the corrosion of aluminum foil by chemical components in medicines and extend the service life of packaging materials.

[0032] (4) During the surface treatment process, the precise control of the pretreatment process and the passivation treatment ensures the cleanliness and activity of the aluminum foil surface, so that the coating material can be evenly attached to the aluminum foil surface. The applied epoxy resin coating not only has uniform thickness, but also has an adhesion that reaches the industry's high standards after curing, which can effectively improve the barrier and protective properties of the pharmaceutical aluminum foil.

[0033] (5) The precise control of the cold rolling process enables the thickness and surface quality of the aluminum foil to be stably controlled, avoiding the surface defect problem that occurs in the traditional aluminum foil during multiple rolling processes. At the same time, the processing parameters of the aluminum foil in the initial rolling, intermediate annealing and finishing rolling are optimized to ensure the reduction rate and rolling speed in each stage, and finally produce a pharmaceutical aluminum foil with consistent thickness and smooth surface.
