Description

Technical Field

[0002] Copper is widely used in key parts such as evaporators, condensers and indoor and outdoor unit connection pipes of heat exchangers in the air-conditioning industry due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and long service life. With the scarcity of copper resources and the continuous rise in copper prices, the costs of air-conditioning companies have increased dramatically. In order to reduce the cost of air-conditioning and effectively utilize natural resources and break the dependence on copper resources, the home appliance air-conditioning industry has adopted aluminum tubes instead of copper tubes in heat exchangers, evaporators, radiators, etc.

[0003] Among the aluminum alloy series, 3 series aluminum alloys have good corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as weldability and machinability, and are favored by the air conditioning field. At present, 3003, 3103 and other 3 series aluminum alloy tubes widely used in air conditioning heat exchangers are easily corroded in harsh working environments. As the corrosion depth increases, aluminum tubes are prone to perforation corrosion, that is, corrosion that extends from the surface of the aluminum tube to the inside. This type of corrosion is called pitting corrosion, which will cause refrigerant leakage and heat exchanger scrapping. Therefore, improving the pitting corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys has become an inevitable requirement to increase the scope of use of aluminum alloys in the air conditioning field.

[0046] The first rate is greater than the second rate, and the second rate is greater than the third rate.

[0047] The present application first sprays zinc on the surface of the aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe, and then heats the aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe with a zinc layer formed on the surface at a gradually decreasing three-stage heating rate to perform a zinc infiltration treatment, which can significantly increase the zinc infiltration depth, and utilize the principle of thermal diffusion of metal atoms to dissolve Zn in the surface zinc infiltration layer area into the aluminum matrix, further increasing the electrode potential of the aluminum alloy matrix, so that the zinc infiltration layer acts as a sacrificial anode to preferentially and uniformly corrode, inhibiting the corrosion from developing into the interior of the metal, effectively alleviating the corrosion of the core layer matrix, and greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe.

[0048] The present application uses an aluminum alloy internally threaded tube as a raw material and performs surface treatment on the tube. The present application has no special restrictions on the aluminum alloy internally threaded tube, and the tube can be prepared according to the following method:

[0049] The aluminum alloy rod is subjected to hot extrusion and thread forming to obtain an aluminum alloy internally threaded tube.

[0050] In some specific implementations, the material of the aluminum alloy internally threaded tube includes:

[0051] 1.00 wt% to 1.20 wt% of Mn;

[0052] 0 to 0.10 wt% of Si (not equal to 0);

[0053] 0 to 0.20 wt% of Fe but not equal to 0;

[0054] 0 to 0.01 wt% Cu not equal to 0;

[0055] 0 to 0.01 wt% of Mg (not equal to 0);

[0056] 0 to 0.02 wt% of Ti (not equal to 0);

[0057] 0 to 0.01 wt % (not equal to 0) of Ni; and the balance of Al.

[0058] The present application first performs zinc spraying treatment on the surface of the aluminum alloy internally threaded tube to form a zinc layer. Specifically, the present application first performs pretreatment on the aluminum alloy internally threaded tube, including but not limited to cleaning, degreasing, rust removal, etc., to facilitate uniform adhesion of the zinc layer. After pretreatment, the aluminum alloy internally threaded tube is sandblasted, and zinc spraying treatment is performed within 2 to 3 hours after the sandblasting treatment is completed. At this time, the activation degree of the substrate surface reaches the maximum, the electrode potential value is the lowest, and the coating bonding strength is the highest.

The present application has no special restrictions on the sealing method, and those skilled in the art can select it according to their needs.

[0062] After zinc spraying is completed, the coating surface is visually inspected for debris, bubbles, voids, uneven particles and cracks. If it meets the quality standards, it can be subjected to zinc infiltration treatment, that is, heat treatment at high temperature to diffuse zinc atoms into the aluminum matrix.

[0063] Specifically, the present application can perform a zincizing treatment on the aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe in an inert gas atmosphere in a tubular heating furnace. In some specific implementations, the inert gas atmosphere is preferably nitrogen. In some specific implementations, in order to promote the depth of zincizing, the present application performs a zincizing treatment on the aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe with a zinc layer formed on the surface by heating at a gradually decreasing three-stage heating rate, that is:

In some specific implementations, the third temperature is 450°C to 650°C, preferably 500 to 600°C. This application has no special restrictions on the first temperature and the second temperature, which can be determined according to the first rate, the first time, the second rate and the second time.

[0066] In some specific implementations, the first rate is 3°C / min to 8°C / min greater than the second rate, preferably 5°C / min greater; the second rate is 3°C / min to 8°C / min greater than the third rate, preferably 5°C / min greater. In some specific implementations, the first rate is 15°C / min to 25°C / min, preferably 20°C / min; the second rate is 10°C / min to 20°C / min, preferably 15°C / min; the third rate is 5°C / min to 15°C / min, preferably 10°C / min.

[0067] In some specific implementations, the second time is shorter than the first time, and the third time is: t3 = [(T3-T0)-v1*t1-v2*t2] / v3.

In some specific implementations, the first time is 15min to 25min, preferably 20min, and the second time is 5min to 15min, preferably 10min.

[0068] After the temperature is raised, a heat preservation treatment is performed. In some specific implementations, the heat preservation treatment time is 3h to 9h, preferably 4h to 8h, and more preferably 6h. After the heat treatment is completed, the temperature is lowered to obtain an aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe with a zinc-diffused layer.

[0069] The present application also provides an aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe, comprising an aluminum alloy body and a sherardizing layer formed on the surface of the aluminum alloy body, wherein the thickness of the sherardizing layer is greater than 300 μm.

[0070] In some specific implementations, the thickness of the zinc-diffusion layer is 320 μm to 400 μm.

[0071] The aluminum alloy internally threaded pipe provided in the present application has excellent corrosion resistance, and its salt spray corrosion resistance can reach more than 4000h, and the depth of the corrosion pit is less than 90μm.

[0072] The surface treatment method of the high pitting corrosion resistant aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe provided by the present application comprises the following steps: spraying zinc on the surface of the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe to form a zinc layer; heating the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe with the zinc layer formed on the surface to the first temperature at the first rate for the first time, heating the second temperature at the second rate for the second time, and heating the third temperature at the third rate for the third time under the protection of inert gas, and then performing heat preservation treatment; the first rate is greater than the second rate, and the second rate is greater than the third rate. The present application first sprays zinc on the surface of the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe, and then heats the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe with the zinc layer formed on the surface at a gradually decreasing three-stage heating rate to perform zinc infiltration treatment, which can significantly increase the zinc infiltration depth and improve the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe. Experimental results show that the surface treatment method provided by the present application can form a zinc infiltration layer with a thickness of more than 300μm, can increase the salt spray corrosion resistance time of the aluminum alloy internal threaded pipe to more than 4000h, and reduce the depth of the corrosion pit to less than 90μm.
