Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal shielding belt production, in particular to a production process of a passivated aluminum alloy shielding belt. Background Art
[0002] At present, a Chinese patent with the publication (announcement) number: CN113122833B discloses a method for passivation of aluminum alloys. The method includes the following processing steps: (1) heat treatment, mechanical polishing, degreasing, and activation of the aluminum alloy in sequence; (2) passivation solution treatment: the passivation solution is composed of fluorotitanic acid, fluorozirconic acid, manganese sulfate, tartaric acid, sodium fluoride, and sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, and the treatment method is immersion; (3) ultrasonic cleaning; (4) ultra-high temperature water vapor treatment; the water vapor is composed of 3-5wt.% ethyl orthosilicate and distilled water, the ultra-high water vapor temperature is 110-120oC, and the injection method is pulse injection; the method can effectively improve the dense plating of the passivation film, and the thickness of the obtained passivation film is uniform, which is a yellow passivation film of 4-5μm, and the passivation film has strong corrosion resistance.
[0003] The above aluminum alloy passivation method is not applicable to the production of shielding tape. Shielding tape can be used in many fields, such as electronic products, aerospace, medical equipment, etc. According to its main function, it is electromagnetic shielding (metal shielding tape is used to prevent electromagnetic interference and improve equipment performance and stability in the fields of electronic products, aerospace and medical equipment. In the cable, the metal shielding tape limits the electric field within the insulation layer, prevents external electromagnetic interference from entering the cable, and prevents internal signal leakage), or anti-interference (the metal shielding layer protects the internal cable core from external force damage and provides grounding protection. It is used in instrumentation and analog signal circuits to shield external interference.)
[0004] Traditional aluminum alloy shielding tapes are mainly made of 1000 series or 8000 series aluminum alloys, prepared by hot rolling, cold rolling finishing, annealing, and surface treatment, and the surface treatment process is generally anodizing. However, the effect of this shielding tape on electromagnetic shielding is still poor. With the continuous advancement of nanotechnology, the requirements for electromagnetic shielding are getting higher and higher. The traditional production method can no longer meet the market demand for high precision and high shielding capabilities, and the traditional process needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

The nanograin boundaries in the ceramic layer of the product produced by this process produce a synergistic effect with the graphene surface plasma resonance, converting electromagnetic wave energy into heat dissipation to achieve broadband shielding.
