Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, and particularly relates to a high-performance copper-aluminum composite row with a large width-thickness ratio and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The copper-aluminum composite row is a composite conductor material with copper on the outer layer and aluminum in the core, and is a laminated composite material formed by a special process; compared with the copper row, it has the advantages of weight reduction and cost reduction, and compared with the aluminum row, it has the advantages of small contact resistance and good anti-creep performance. According to the structure, taking the aluminum substrate as the standard, the copper-aluminum composite materials include types such as partial copper cladding, single-sided copper cladding, double-sided copper cladding, and side full copper cladding. According to the preparation process, there are solid-solid welding, solid-solid pressing (hydrostatic extrusion, rolling, drawing, forging, etc.), solid-liquid composite (casting-rolling method), and liquid-liquid composite (continuous casting composite method). Among them, the copper-aluminum composite products with bonding performance meeting the market mass usage requirements are mainly GB / T 30586-2022 "Copper-Clad Aluminum Flat Bars" and GB / T 32468-2015 "Copper-Aluminum Composite Plate Strip", and the corresponding preparation processes are the continuous casting composite method and the casting-rolling method respectively. The copper-aluminum composite row prepared by the continuous casting composite method has a side full copper cladding structure type with better structural integrity. When applied in the field of electric power and electrics, it can better match the subsequent bending, processing, and electroplating requirements, and has better current-carrying effect and corrosion resistance.
[0003] For the copper-aluminum composite row with side full copper cladding, the bonding layer thickness of the GB / T 30586 product disclosed in Chinese invention patent 201611114257.5 "A High Bonding Strength Copper-Aluminum Composite Conductive Material and Its Preparation Method" is 5-35 μm, the shear bonding strength ≥ 45 MPa, the tensile strength is 100-130 MPa, the elongation rate ≥ 25%, and the volume conductivity ≥ 71.1% IACS. Combining the process methods disclosed in Chinese invention patent 201010225901.2 "A Preparation Process of Copper-Clad Aluminum Composite Busbar" and Chinese invention patent 201310304077.3 "A Hole Rolling Process of Copper-Clad Aluminum Row", after continuous casting composite, rolling, and drawing, when the width of the GB / T 30586 product ≥ 80 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 6 mm; when the product width is 50-60 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 5 mm; when the product width ≤ 40 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 4 mm.
[0004] Due to the fact that thinner products have higher current-carrying 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 larger width and a smaller thickness, that is, products with a larger width-to-thickness ratio, in order to reduce weight and cost. Moreover, due to the requirements of high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, rail transit, new energy vehicles, and power equipment, higher requirements are put forward for key mechanical and electrical performance indicators such as the bonding strength, tensile strength, conductivity, and processing performance of copper-aluminum composite bars. The existing technology products are difficult to meet the usage requirements.
[0005] For products with a relatively thin size and a large width-to-thickness ratio, when prepared by the existing publicly available continuous rolling or drawing process, problems such as edge cracking or plane orange peel and cracking of the product are likely to occur. And when performing longitudinal bending (along the rolling processing direction), problems such as cracking are likely to occur. 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 of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-performance copper-aluminum composite bar with a large width-to-thickness ratio and its preparation method.
[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted are as follows:
[0008] 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, which includes a copper-clad layer and an aluminum core matrix, that is, a copper-clad aluminum structure. An interatomic bonding layer is formed between the copper-clad layer and the aluminum core matrix, and the thickness of the bonding layer is less than 3μm. When the width of the high-performance copper-aluminum composite bar with a large width-to-thickness ratio ≥ 80mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 20 - 60; when the width is 50 - 60mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 20 - 40; when the width ≤ 40mm, the width-to-thickness ratio is 10 - 40.
[0009] Further, the aluminum core matrix includes aluminum, silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, boron and rare earth alloy materials, and the rare earth alloy materials include cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and praseodymium.
[0010] Furthermore, the mass fractions of silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, and boron in aluminum are respectively: silicon 0.03% - 0.07%, iron 0.40% - 0.60%, copper 0.20% - 0.40%, magnesium 0.04% - 0.10%, zinc 0.04% - 0.10%, boron 0.01% - 0.02%; the mass fractions of cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and praseodymium in aluminum are respectively: cerium 0.06% - 0.09%, lanthanum 0.01% - 0.03%, neodymium 0.01% - 0.03%, praseodymium 0.007% - 0.015%.
[0011] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for the high-performance copper-aluminum composite bar with a large width-to-thickness ratio, which includes the following steps:
[0012] (1)Continuous casting composite
[0013] The electrolytic copper plate is melted into copper liquid, covered with charcoal and kept static at 1150 - 1250 °C for 3 - 6 h;
[0014] After the electrolytic aluminum ingot is melted, alloying materials silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, boron and rare earth alloy materials cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium are added in sequence. The mass fractions of silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, boron in aluminum are respectively: silicon 0.03% - 0.07%, iron 0.40% - 0.60%, copper 0.20% - 0.40%, magnesium 0.04% - 0.10%, zinc 0.04% - 0.10%, boron 0.01% - 0.02%; The mass fractions of cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium in aluminum are respectively: cerium 0.06% - 0.09%, lanthanum 0.01% - 0.03%, neodymium 0.01% - 0.03%, praseodymium 0.007% - 0.015%. Keep warm at 750 - 850 °C, degas and skim twice to obtain aluminum liquid;
[0015] The copper liquid and aluminum liquid are respectively filled into the composite furnace through different channels, and copper - aluminum continuous casting direct composite forming is carried out to prepare a copper - aluminum composite billet, obtaining a square billet with a side length of 60 - 150 mm, and the thickness of the bonding layer of the billet is 5 - 15 μm;
[0016] (2)Rolling the copper - aluminum composite billet
[0017] Through a two - high reversing mill, pass - type reciprocating rolling is carried out, with horizontal rolling and vertical rolling alternating. That is, the first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth passes (add subsequent passes according to actual requirements) are horizontal rolling, and the second, fourth, sixth and eighth passes are vertical rolling (add subsequent passes according to actual requirements); The thickness of the rolled copper - aluminum composite strip is 10 - 14 mm, and the width after rolling is 0.5 - 2.5 mm larger than the width of the final product;
[0018] (3)Intermediate drawing and intermediate heat treatment
[0019] The incoming material continues to be drawn or coiled and drawn. The reduction of thickness in the first pass of drawing is 20% - 35%, and the reduction of thickness in subsequent drawing is 10% - 30%; The reduction of width is 0.05 - 1.0 mm per pass, and the process drawing is carried out until the thickness is 3.0 - 5.5 mm; Then the first intermediate heat treatment is carried out; Continue to carry out multiple draws until the size of the last process draw before the finished product specification, and the size of the process draw is 0.2 - 0.8 mm larger than the thickness of the final finished product and 0.05 - 0.3 mm larger than the width of the final finished product; Then the second intermediate heat treatment is carried out;
[0020] (4)Final drawing and final heat treatment
[0021] Final drawing: when the width of the product ≥ 80 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 2 mm; when the width of the product is 50 - 60 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 1.5 mm; when the width of the product ≤ 40 mm, the minimum thickness can reach 1 mm. Final heat treatment: the thickness of the bonding layer of the finished product is less than 3 μm, the shear bonding strength ≥ 100 MPa, the copper volume ratio is 18% - 32%, the tensile strength is 195 - 255 MPa, the elongation ≥ 25%, and the volume conductivity ≥ 71.5% IACS.
[0022] (5)Surface treatment
[0023] Use 180 - 240 - mesh abrasive belts for surface grinding and wire drawing for 1 - 2 groups, and each group of grinding includes two grindings.
[0024] Furthermore, in step (2), the reduction of thickness in the first pass of blanking flat rolling is 35% - 60%, the reduction of thickness in a single pass of the remaining flat rolling is controlled between 10% - 35%, the reduction of thickness in a single pass of vertical rolling is controlled between 3% - 20%, and the total number of rolling passes is 10 - 25 passes.
[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: If the reduction of thickness in the rolling process is inappropriate, it will lead to the inability to reach the final rolling size, or it will require too many passes to achieve, resulting in an increase in the number of required rolling rolls and cost; if the reduction of thickness in the drawing process is inappropriate, it will lead to problems such as edge cracking or plane orange peel and cracking of the product, and the product will be scrapped and unable to be used continuously.
[0026] Furthermore, in step (3), the first intermediate heat treatment is at 185 - 205 °C for 1 - 2 h; the second intermediate heat treatment is at 165 - 185 °C for 1 - 2 h.
[0027] Furthermore, in step (4), the final heat treatment of the finished product is at 230 - 255 °C for 0.5 - 1.5 h.
[0028] Still further, in step (5), the angles between the abrasive belts for the two grindings and the length direction of the product are 30 - 60° and 120 - 150° respectively.
[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solutions are as follows: The wire drawing pattern of the grinding has an angle with the rolling and drawing processing direction, weakening the adverse effect of the texture on bending in the specified direction. While taking into account the connection contact resistance and bending processing performance, it improves the radiation heat dissipation coefficient, enhances the current - carrying capacity, and improves the adhesion of the subsequent coating.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0031] (1)The present invention discloses a copper - aluminum composite row with high tensile strength, high bonding strength, high conductivity, ultra - thin, and large width - thickness ratio;
[0032] (2) The present invention adopts a rare earth aluminum alloy formula to achieve high tensile strength and high electrical conductivity of the copper-aluminum composite busbar. Through the cooperation of subsequent drawing and intermediate heat treatment processes, the negative impacts of the high strength of the core material and alloying elements on the processing and bonding strength of ultra-thin materials are eliminated;
[0033] (3) Through the comprehensive regulation of rolling, drawing processing amount, and multiple heat treatments, the present invention realizes a relatively thin bonding layer thickness, thereby achieving high bonding strength of the copper-aluminum composite busbar;
[0034] (4) The present invention meets various bending requirements such as horizontal bending, vertical bending, side bending, and twist bending, and improves the adhesion of the coating;
[0035] (5) The present invention does not require the use of expensive and complex continuous rolling mills, and only uses existing two-high rolling mills and some intermediate drawing dies to quickly prepare large width-thickness ratio and ultra-thin copper-aluminum composite busbars at low cost.
[0036] For the copper-aluminum composite conductive busbar with high tensile strength, high bonding strength, and high electrical conductivity of the present invention, the bonding between copper and aluminum reaches the metallurgical bonding state, the bonding layer thickness is less than 3μm, the shear bonding strength is ≥100MPa, the copper volume ratio is 18% - 32%, the tensile strength is 195 - 255MPa, the elongation is ≥25%, and the volume conductivity is ≥71.5%IACS. When the product width is ≥80mm, the minimum thickness can be 2mm; when the product width is 50 - 60mm, the minimum thickness can be 1.5mm; when the product width is ≤40mm, the minimum thickness can be 1mm.
