Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of functional composite materials, and particularly relates to a composite rod and a welding method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Under the background of rapid development of electronic components and chip technology in modern society, electronic components generate more and more heat in the running process. Under this background, electronic packaging materials need to have more excellent comprehensive performance to overcome the slow heat dissipation and other shortcomings while having excellent performance.
[0003] Copper (Cu) is the research focus in the field of high-performance electronic packaging materials due to its excellent thermal conductivity. Kovar alloy (4J29), also known as "constant expansion alloy", can maintain a low and stable thermal expansion coefficient below the Curie point. Therefore, the Kovar alloy and Cu composite material can overcome the shortcomings of insufficient thermal conductivity of Kovar alloy, and can retain its low thermal expansion coefficient and good weldability, and is an ideal electronic packaging material.
[0004] At present, the common method for preparing Kovar alloy and Cu composite material is welding. However, the melting points of Kovar alloy and Cu are quite different, and ordinary welding methods are difficult to apply. For example, in vacuum brazing, large residual stress is easily generated at the welded joint, which further causes the mechanical properties of the welded joint to decrease. Although hot isostatic pressing diffusion welding can effectively realize the welding of Cu and Kovar alloy, and the weld is defect-free, this process has the problems of complex process, high energy consumption, high cost, and difficult to guarantee the air tightness and electrical properties after sealing.
[0005] In summary, the existing preparation process of Kovar-Cu composite material has the problems of complex process, high energy consumption, long process, high cost, etc., and there is still a lack of effective solution. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the above technical problems, the present application provides a composite rod welding method, which is an innovative process based on current-assisted vacuum diffusion welding. The method realizes the heterogeneous welding of 4J29 Kovar alloy pipe and TU1 oxygen-free copper rod by precisely controlling the axial pressure, gradient temperature and pulse current parameters in a vacuum environment through multi-field coupling mechanism (pressure field-temperature field-current field) synergistic regulation of interface diffusion behavior. The microstructure of the composite rod obtained by the method shows that no pores, inclusions and other defects are observed in the weld area, and the generation of micro-cracks caused by thermal stress concentration is inhibited. The welding cycle is shortened to 1 hour, which ensures the interface metallurgical quality, simplifies the process and reduces the energy consumption.
[0007] The application further provides a composite rod prepared by the composite rod welding method, and the welding seam surface is smooth and free of obvious defects such as visible cracks.
[0008] The application achieves the above technical objectives through the following technical means.

The application cooperatively regulates interface diffusion behavior through a pressure field-temperature field-current field, realizes dissimilar welding of the 4J29 Kovar alloy pipe and the TU1 oxygen-free copper rod, and the composite rod obtained by the method does not observe pores, inclusions and other defects in the welding seam area, thereby simplifying the process and reducing energy consumption.
