Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of soldering fluxes, and more specifically, to an aqueous soldering flux and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soldering is the main process in electronic assembly, and a soldering flux is an auxiliary material used in soldering. The main function of the soldering flux is to remove oxides on the surface of the solder and the base material to be soldered, making the metal surface reach the necessary cleanliness. It prevents re-oxidation on the surface during soldering, reduces the surface tension of the solder, and improves the soldering performance. The quality of the soldering flux directly affects the quality of electronic products.

[0003] Currently, most of the soldering fluxes used are organic solvent-based soldering fluxes. The active components of this type of soldering flux must be dissolved in organic solvents, and they have disadvantages such as high volatility, flammability, and harm to the body when in use. While water-soluble soldering fluxes use deionized water as a solvent, which is environmentally friendly, safe, and can be better applied to PCB soldering. However, due to the single component of the surfactant used as the active component in the aqueous soldering flux, the wettability and corrosion resistance of this soldering flux are poor.

[0004] Therefore, improving the wettability and corrosion resistance of the active component is of great significance for the development of aqueous soldering fluxes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the wettability and corrosion resistance of the aqueous soldering flux, the present application provides an aqueous soldering flux and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides an aqueous soldering flux, adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] An aqueous soldering flux, comprising raw materials made of the following parts by weight: 4 - 8 parts of an active agent, 6 - 12 parts of an organic solvent, 3 - 8 parts of an organic acid, and 80 - 90 parts of deionized water; the active agent is formed by loading rare earth oxides on fluorinated graphite oxide.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the fluorinated graphite in the active agent is converted into fluorinated graphite oxide by introducing active oxygen groups, which has good surface activity and dispersibility. It can reduce the internal stress of the soldering flux during the soldering process, thereby improving the flow rate and adhesion of the soldering, enhancing the ability of the soldering flux to improve wettability, and reducing the surface tension of the material to be soldered; at the same time, graphite can improve the corrosion resistance of the weld seam after soldering. Rare earth oxides have excellent corrosion resistance. By being loaded on fluorinated graphite oxide, they can not only prevent the agglomeration of fluorinated graphite but also improve the corrosion resistance of the active agent. That is, by adding an appropriate amount of the active agent in the aqueous soldering flux, the wettability and corrosion resistance of the soldering flux can be improved.

[0009] In a specific feasible embodiment, the preparation method of the active agent comprises the following steps:

[0010] Place the concentrated sulfuric acid solution in an ice bath, add 1 part by weight of fluorinated graphite and 0.1 part by weight of graphite oxide, stir and ultrasonicate, and then add 3 - 15 parts by weight of an oxidant to react to obtain a fluorinated and oxidized graphite mixture; filter and dry the fluorinated and oxidized graphite mixture to obtain fluorinated and oxidized graphite;

[0011] Mix the fluorinated and oxidized graphite with deionized water and a surfactant to form a dispersion, and then add a mixture of a soluble rare earth salt solution and an alkaline solution with a molar ratio of 1:2 - 4, and perform a hydrothermal reaction on the mixture to obtain the active agent.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, by adding an appropriate amount of graphite oxide to the fluorinated graphite, the interaction between graphite sheets is enhanced by means of hydrogen bonding, improving the film-forming property of the soldering flux. At the same time, the addition of an appropriate amount of graphite oxide can maintain the insulation of the film during the subsequent hydrothermal reaction process; on the other hand, fluorinated graphite has hydrophobicity due to the grafting of many F atoms on the graphite. Using ultrasonic treatment, during the propagation of ultrasonic waves, particles in the elastic medium vibrate and transfer energy along the propagation direction, thus generating mechanical effects, thermal effects, and acoustic cavitation phenomena. These phenomena are applied in the ultrasonic treatment process, which can not only depolymerize the aggregates of fluorinated graphite powder particles in concentrated sulfuric acid, but also disperse the fluorinated graphite in concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain a dispersion with relatively uniform particle size. The cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves can also be used to remove the air dissolved or retained in the fluorinated graphite powder, which is conducive to the contact between concentrated sulfuric acid and fluorinated graphite, accelerating the wetting process of concentrated sulfuric acid on fluorinated graphite and facilitating the subsequent reaction. In addition, the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves can also penetrate the isolation layer covering the fluorinated graphite, promoting the diffusion, intercalation, and reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid into the interior of the fluorinated graphite. The finally obtained fluorinated and oxidized graphite has more oxygen-containing groups, so it has higher activity and dispersibility. Further, loading rare earth oxide nanoparticles on the fluorinated and oxidized graphite layer can not only prevent the agglomeration of fluorinated graphite and improve its dispersibility, but also improve the corrosion resistance of the prepared active agent due to the corrosion inhibition effect of rare earth oxides.

[0013] In a specific feasible embodiment, the preparation method of the fluorinated graphite is: obtained by fluorinating graphene powder with a mixed gas of fluorine gas and nitrogen gas.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since nitrogen has little influence on temperature and plays a dilution role, nitrogen is introduced during the fluorination treatment, making the heat exchange more sufficient after the gas mixture, and performing fluorination surface treatment on graphite, triggering surface medium chemical reactions. On the one hand, it can maintain the high mechanical properties of graphite itself, and on the other hand, it can improve its dispersibility, wettability and corrosion resistance in the flux.

[0015] In a specific feasible embodiment, the fluorine-carbon ratio of the fluorinated graphite is 1.1 - 1.3:1.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, if the fluorine-carbon ratio is too low, the thermal stability and lubricating performance of the fluorocarbon graphite are poor; while it is difficult to obtain fluorinated graphite with a relatively high fluorine-carbon ratio, increasing the cost.

[0017] In a specific feasible embodiment, the oxidant is potassium permanganate or a mixture of potassium permanganate and sodium nitrate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, potassium permanganate and sodium nitrate not only introduce oxidation groups into the fluorinated graphite as oxidants, improving the activity and dispersibility of the fluorinated graphite; but also their excessive potassium ions and sodium ions can reduce the melting point and surface tension of the flux, refine the molten droplets, and reduce the free splash degree of the flux during the welding process.

[0019] In a specific feasible embodiment, the surfactant is one or more of stearic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium glycocholate; further, the surfactant is sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate has a low surface tension, good wetting ability, and excellent foaming performance and high foam stability. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is neutral, not easily oxidized, easily compounded with various additives, has a low cost, and a mature synthesis process.

[0021] In a specific feasible embodiment, the rare earth element in the soluble rare earth salt solution is one of Yb, Er, Sm, Eu, Y, Gd, Dy, Ce; further, the rare earth element in the soluble rare earth salt solution is Ce.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, rare earth has a strong affinity with sulfur and oxygen in the weld, generating spherical or ellipsoidal rare earth sulfides, oxides or oxygen-sulfur composite inclusions, significantly improving the sulfide inclusions in the weld; while the density of the compound formed by rare earth cerium and sulfur and oxygen in the weld is about 6.0, which is easy to float and remove in the weld. Therefore, the flux containing rare earth cerium can maximize the corrosion resistance of the flux.

[0023] In a specific feasible embodiment, the organic solvent is a mixture of a low-boiling-point (less than 100 °C) organic solvent, a medium-boiling-point (100 - 150 °C) organic solvent, and a high-boiling-point (150 - 200 °C) organic solvent.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the organic solvent plays a solubilizing role in the flux, which can improve the solubility of the active agent in deionized water and the stability after dispersion. The low-boiling-point solvent is beneficial to preventing the sagging of the weld seam, and it has the advantages of fast volatilization, easy drying, and low viscosity; after the low-boiling-point solvent volatilizes, the medium-boiling-point solvent is beneficial to the leveling of the weld seam to form a dense paint film; the high-boiling-point solvent is beneficial to leveling and can also prevent the weld seam from being damaged due to moisture and low temperature. By combining organic solvents with different boiling points, their synergistic effect can be exerted to improve the stability and welding activity of the flux.

[0025] In a specific feasible embodiment, the low-boiling-point organic solvent is ethanol, the medium-boiling-point organic solvent is butyl acetate, and the high-boiling-point organic solvent is ethylene glycol monobutyl ether; the mass ratio of ethanol, butyl acetate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is 2:(3 - 5):(3 - 5).

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the organic solvents are combined in the form of alcohols, esters, and ethers, and can gradually decompose or sublime as the welding process temperature rises, effectively ensuring that the water-based flux plays a soldering role throughout the welding process and can effectively reduce the content of welding residues; at the same time, by selecting specific three organic solvents and controlling their mass ratio, their solubilizing effect can be better exerted.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of a water-based flux, adopting the following technical solution:

[0028] A preparation method of a water-based flux includes the following steps:

[0029] Weigh corresponding weight portions of the organic solvent and part of the deionized water and mix them to form a mixed solution;

[0030] Mix the active agent with the remaining deionized water to form a mixture, and then mix the mixture with the mixed solution.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the active agent of the flux is used as the active part in the solder system and is separately mixed with deionized water and then mixed with the organic solvent, which can maximize the beneficial effects of the activator. The water-based flux prepared in the present application uses deionized water as a solvent, reducing the production cost, achieving the purposes of environmental protection, stability, and safety, and the added active agent has the advantages of improving the wettability and corrosion resistance of the flux.

[0032] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. In this application, an active agent is formed by loading rare earth oxides on fluorinated graphite oxide. Fluorinated graphite oxide obtained by introducing oxygen-containing groups into fluorinated graphite has good surface activity and dispersibility, which improves the fluidity and adhesion of welding, making the active agent have good wettability and corrosion resistance. At the same time, by loading rare earth oxides on fluorinated graphite oxide, the corrosion resistance of the obtained active agent is further improved.

[0034] 2. In this application, the organic solvent is a mixture of low-boiling organic solvents, medium-boiling organic solvents and high-boiling organic solvents. As the temperature of the welding process rises, the three gradually decompose or biochemize, which can effectively ensure the soldering assistance function of the water-based soldering flux during the entire welding process. At the same time, the content of welding residues can be effectively reduced, achieving a synergistic effect and improving the stability and corrosion resistance of the soldering flux.

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] Combined with Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 and Table 1, it can be seen that when the water-based soldering fluxes of Examples 1-7 are applied to welding, their corrosion resistance and wettability are better than those of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the water-based soldering flux prepared in this application uses deionized water as a solvent, reducing the production cost, achieving the purposes of environmental protection, stability and safety, and the added active agent has the advantages of improving the wettability and corrosion resistance of the soldering flux. In particular, the active agent of this application loads rare earth oxides through fluorinated graphene oxide, has high welding activity, can effectively prevent oxidation, improves the wetting effect of the soldering flux on the material to be soldered, and reduces the surface tension of the material to be soldered.

[0097] Combined with Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Table 1, it can be seen that in this application, an activator is further formed by combining with rare earth oxides on the basis of fluorinated graphene oxide. Rare earth oxides have good corrosion resistance.
