Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, and in particular to a high-performance large width-to-thickness ratio copper-aluminum composite bar and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Copper-aluminum composite busbar is a composite conductor material with copper as the outer layer and aluminum as the core. It is formed into a layered composite material through a special process. Compared with copper busbar, it has the advantages of reducing weight and cost, and compared with aluminum busbar, it has the advantages of low contact resistance and good creep resistance. According to the structure, based on the aluminum substrate, copper-aluminum composite materials include partial copper cladding, single-sided copper cladding, double-sided copper cladding, and full copper cladding on the sides. According to the preparation process, there are solid-solid welding, solid-solid crimping (hydrostatic extrusion, rolling, drawing, forging, etc.), solid-liquid composite (casting and rolling method), and liquid-liquid composite (continuous casting composite method). Among them, the copper-aluminum composite products that combine performance to meet the market's demand for mass use mainly include GB / T 30586-2022 "Copper Clad Aluminum Flat Bar" and GB / T 32468-2015 "Copper Clad Aluminum Composite Plate and Strip". The corresponding preparation processes are continuous casting composite method and cast-rolling method. The continuous casting composite copper-aluminum composite bar is a structural type with fully copper-covered sides, with better structural integrity. When used in the power and electrical field, it can better match subsequent bending, processing, and electroplating requirements, and has better current-carrying effect and corrosion resistance.
[0003] For the copper-aluminum composite busbar with full copper cladding on the sides, the GB / T 30586 product disclosed in China's invention patent 201611114257.5, a high bonding strength copper-aluminum composite conductive material and its preparation method, has a bonding layer thickness of 5~35μm, a shear bonding strength ≥45MPa, a tensile strength of 100~130MPa, an elongation ≥25%, and a volume conductivity ≥71.1%IACS. Combined with the process disclosed in China's invention patent 201010225901.2, a preparation process for copper-clad aluminum composite busbar, and China's invention patent 201310304077.3, a hole rolling process for copper-clad aluminum busbar, after continuous casting, rolling, and drawing, when the width of the GB / T 30586 product is ≥80mm, the minimum thickness can be 6mm; when the product width is 50~60mm, the minimum thickness can be 5mm; when the product width is ≤40mm, the minimum thickness can be 4mm.
[0004] Since thinner products have higher current density, better cost performance and better weight reduction effect, in the actual selection process, more and more power and electrical design manufacturers tend to choose products with a large width and small thickness to reduce weight and cost; and due to the requirements of high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, rail transit, new energy vehicles, and power equipment, higher requirements are placed on key mechanical properties and electrical performance indicators such as bonding strength, tensile strength, conductivity, and processing performance of copper-aluminum composite bars. It is difficult for existing technical products to meet the usage requirements.
[0005] For products with thin dimensions and large width and thickness ratio, when they are prepared through the existing public continuous rolling or drawing process, problems such as product edge cracking, flat orange peel, and cracking are prone to occur; and problems such as cracking are prone to occur during longitudinal bending (along the rolling processing direction); the above problems are more prominent when the strength of the aluminum core material is higher, and it is difficult to meet the current market demand. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a high-performance large width-to-thickness ratio copper-aluminum composite bar and a preparation method thereof.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted are: One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a high-performance copper-aluminum composite bar with a large width-to-thickness ratio, comprising a cladding copper layer and an aluminum core substrate, i.e., a copper-clad aluminum structure, wherein an atomically bonded bonding layer is formed between the cladding copper layer and the aluminum core substrate, and the thickness of the bonding layer is less than 3 μm. When the width of the high-performance copper-aluminum composite bar with a large width-to-thickness ratio is ≥80 mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 20-60; when the width is 50-60 mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 20-40; when the width is ≤40 mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 10-40.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the polished wire drawing pattern has an angle with the rolling and drawing processing direction, which weakens the adverse effect of the texture on bending in the specified direction, takes into account the connection contact resistance and bending processing performance, improves the radiation heat dissipation coefficient, enhances the current carrying capacity, and improves the adhesion of the subsequent coating.
