Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of welding, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a solder stopper used in an aircraft processing process. Background Art

[0002] In the aviation manufacturing sector, with the widespread adoption of lightweight, high-strength materials like titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys, superplastic forming / diffusion bonding (SPF / DB) has become a core technology for constructing complex, lightweight components. In this process, solder stoppers, as key auxiliary materials, have a formula and performance that directly determine the component's forming accuracy and service reliability.

[0003] From a formulation perspective, early solder stoppers were mostly based on oxide ceramic powders, combined with binders and organic solvents. This traditional formulation has significant limitations: oxide ceramic powders are prone to micro-diffusion reactions with the metal matrix at high temperatures, leading to localized connection failure in the solder stop area; binders are mostly organic polymer materials, which decompose at high temperatures to produce gases, which can easily form pore defects on the component surface; and the evaporation rate of organic solvents is difficult to control, affecting the uniformity and stability of the coating. In recent years, researchers have begun to explore composite system formulations, improving the high-temperature chemical stability of solder stoppers by adding rare earth oxides, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, etc., and introducing nano-scale additives to improve powder dispersion and coating density.

[0004] The core performance requirements of solder stoppers are closely related to the rigorous processes of aviation manufacturing. First, high-temperature barrier performance is its key indicator. It is necessary to form a dense physical barrier within the superplastic forming temperature range of 800-1000°C to completely block the atomic diffusion at the metal interface, while maintaining stable chemical inertness to avoid reactions with the substrate. Secondly, coating and forming performance directly affect the accuracy of components. The solder stopper is required to have suitable rheological properties, which can not only accurately control the shape during coating, but also maintain the integrity of the coating at high temperatures to prevent peeling or cracking caused by thermal stress. In addition, removal performance is equally important. Traditional solder stoppers are firmly bonded to the metal matrix, and mechanical removal can easily damage the surface of the component, while chemical corrosion methods may introduce impurities. Therefore, the development of solder stoppers that can be decomposed at high temperatures or easily soluble in specific solvents has become a research hotspot.

[0005] At present, the following problems still need to be overcome in order to meet the requirements of solder paste for higher use:

[0006] (1) Difficulties in optimizing formula ingredients: Some traditional solder stoppers contain ingredients that are volatile or react with metals, forming defects such as pores on the surface of components; some ingredients react chemically with the metal matrix at high temperatures, affecting the solder stop effect and component performance.

[0007] (2) Severe challenges in high-temperature service performance: Aviation components are welded in high-temperature environments, and solder stoppers need to maintain good performance at high temperatures. However, existing solder stoppers may soften, flow, or even decompose at high temperatures, resulting in the failure of the solder stop effect. At high temperatures, the thermal expansion coefficients of the solder stopper and the metal substrate differ greatly, which can easily generate thermal stress, causing the coating to crack and peel, affecting the connection strength and overall performance of the component. In the superplastic forming / diffusion bonding process, the solder stopper's insufficient barrier properties and chemical stability at high temperatures can lead to unnecessary connections in non-connected areas, reducing the accuracy and reliability of the component.

[0008] (3) Technical difficulties in subsequent removal processes: After processing, the solder stop needs to be removed from the component surface. Traditional removal methods have many disadvantages. Mechanical grinding can easily cause scratches on the component surface, damaging the surface quality of the component and reducing fatigue life. Although sandblasting can remove the solder stop, it may damage the substrate and the dust generated pollutes the environment. Chemical corrosion uses corrosive chemical reagents such as strong acids and strong alkalis, which not only easily introduce impurities and affect component performance, but also pose environmental risks and high costs for wastewater and exhaust gas treatment.

[0009] At present, the solder stoppers used in aircraft processing mostly rely on imports. Therefore, it is urgent to develop independently developed solder stoppers that are highly efficient in resisting solder and can be removed without damage. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Solder stoppers used in aircraft processing still face problems such as volatilization or reaction of components, softening or flowing at high temperatures, thermal stress cracking or flaking, and damage to the substrate during removal.

The method uses hexagonal boron nitride, Y-PSZ, lanthanum oxide, β-eucryptite powder, and other raw materials, utilizes yttrium oxide-doped stabilized zirconia, and adds a specially formulated rheology modifier. The resulting solder stopper is characterized by well-controlled release of volatilization and reaction, resistance to high-temperature flowing, maintaining good condition and solder-stopping properties, and being less susceptible to thermal stress cracking or flaking. Furthermore, the method controls the micropores of component reaction, making it easy for alkali immersion penetration and mechanical stripping. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0024] In S4 of the above preparation method, the material of the substrate plate is titanium alloy.

[0025] A solder stopper used in aircraft processing is obtained by adopting the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0026] The present invention provides a method for preparing a solder stopper used in aircraft processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has a typical layered crystal structure, with weak van der Waals forces holding the layers together. Under high-temperature conditions, this layered structure acts like a "molecular bearing," reducing friction within the coating and effectively suppressing flow and deformation. Furthermore, h-BN is extremely chemically stable. Within the superplastic forming temperature range of 800-1000°C, it undergoes virtually no chemical reaction with the titanium alloy substrate, forming a stable physical barrier that blocks atomic diffusion at the metal interface, ensuring effective solder stop.

[0028] Second, by precisely controlling the addition of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and employing a specific preparation process, the hydroxide is coprecipitated to produce a zirconium-yttrium composite oxide. The resulting Y-PSZ is then pre-sintered at high temperatures to form a stable tetragonal phase structure. Tetragonal Y-PSZ possesses excellent mechanical properties, including high hardness and strength, enhancing the overall rigidity of the coating and resisting thermal stress deformation at high temperatures. Furthermore, under certain conditions, the tetragonal phase undergoes phase transformation and toughening. When the coating is subjected to thermal or mechanical stress, it transforms to a monoclinic phase, expanding in volume and absorbing energy, thereby inhibiting the initiation and propagation of cracks.

[0029] β-Eucryptite powder has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, closely matching that of the titanium alloy substrate. During high-temperature heating and cooling, it effectively buffers thermal stresses between the coating and the substrate, reducing cracking and flaking caused by thermal expansion mismatch. Furthermore, its excellent chemical stability prevents adverse reactions with the titanium alloy substrate and other coating components.

[0030] 4. Lanthanum oxide, as a rare earth oxide, can form a dense protective film at the interface between the coating and the metal substrate, further inhibiting the diffusion of metal atoms and improving the reliability of the solder stop area.

[0031] 5. Solder Stop Component A (Base Layer): The base layer utilizes a lower-viscosity solder stop component A to enhance adhesion between the coating and the substrate. The low viscosity allows component A to better wet the substrate surface. During the coating process, components such as the dispersant and binder form chemical bonds or physical adsorption with atoms or molecules on the substrate surface, resulting in a strong bond. Furthermore, the appropriate amount of multilayer graphene and rheology modifier added to the base layer helps improve the microstructure of the coating. By adjusting the ratio of multilayer graphene and rheology modifier, oxidation or decomposition upon exposure to high temperatures creates partially controlled micropores, facilitating subsequent soaking and peeling of the coating without significantly affecting solder stop performance. Solder Stop Component B (Top Layer): The top layer utilizes a higher-viscosity solder stop component B, primarily to enhance the coating's stability at high temperatures. The high viscosity of component B allows it to maintain its shape at high temperatures and resist flow deformation caused by thermal stress. Among them, the binder (zirconium sol and aluminum sol mixed in a specific proportion) undergoes a curing reaction at high temperature to form a three-dimensional network structure, which tightly combines ceramic powder and other components together, enhancing the overall strength and deformation resistance of the coating.

[0032] 6. Multilayer graphene (which costs less than single-layer graphene and can be added in very low quantities) exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, creating efficient thermal paths within the coating. This allows for more uniform temperature distribution at high temperatures and reduces localized thermal stress concentrations. Furthermore, graphene's layered structure fills the pores between ceramic powder particles, increasing the coating's density and further enhancing its ability to block metal atom diffusion. Furthermore, the interaction between graphene and other components improves the coating's rheological properties, making it easier to control during the coating process.

[0033] 7. Through a specific modification process of α-cellulose, including alkaline treatment to remove hemicellulose, TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation to convert the primary hydroxyl groups of α-cellulose into carboxyl groups, and the addition of surface modifiers, the functionalized cellulose is achieved. The resulting rheology modifier exhibits unique rheological properties. At room temperature, it increases the viscosity of the coating, ensuring excellent shape retention during solder stop application and precise coating. At high temperatures, its molecular structure changes, releasing a certain lubricating effect, alleviating thermal stress within the coating and reducing flow deformation. Furthermore, the rheology modifier improves the dispersion of ceramic powder in the solvent, preventing agglomeration, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the coating.

[0034] 8. Process parameters such as the mixing order of the ingredients, stirring speed, ultrasonic dispersion time, and drying temperature and time have been carefully designed and optimized. These parameters include first adding the dispersant to the solvent for ultrasonic dispersion, which fully activates the dispersant and allows it to better exert its dispersing effect. A high-speed disperser homogenizes the ingredients to ensure thorough mixing and a stable dispersion system. Precise control of drying temperature and time ensures that the solvent in the coating evaporates completely while preventing cracks or other defects in the coating caused by excessive temperatures or prolonged drying times.

[0087] 1. High temperature coating flow deformation detection

[0088] Tilt the sample 30° (blank end facing downward) in a high-temperature furnace and heat to 1000°C at a rate of 5°C / min. Hold for 2 hours. Then cool to room temperature in the furnace. Scan and calculate the post-test area of ​​the coating. Calculate the flow deformation: flow deformation = (post-test area - pre-test area) / pre-test area × 100%.

[0089] 2. High temperature coating cracking detection

[0098] Performance advantage analysis of Examples 1 to 3:

[0099] (1) Synergistic effect of ingredients:

[0100] 1. Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN): In the examples, the h-BN content is 8-12 parts by weight. It has a typical layered crystal structure, with weak van der Waals forces between the layers. In high-temperature environments, this layered structure acts like a "molecular bearing," reducing frictional resistance within the coating and effectively inhibiting flow and deformation. Furthermore, h-BN is extremely chemically stable. Within the superplastic forming temperature range of 800-1000°C, it barely reacts chemically with the titanium alloy substrate, forming a stable physical barrier that blocks atomic diffusion at the metal interface, ensuring effective solder stop.

[0101] 2. Y-PSZ (yttria partially stabilized zirconia): Through precise control of the yttria (Y2O3) addition and a specific preparation process, Y-PSZ forms a stable tetragonal phase structure at high temperatures. Tetragonal Y-PSZ exhibits excellent mechanical properties, high hardness, and strength, enhancing the overall rigidity of the coating and resisting thermal stress deformation at high temperatures. Furthermore, under certain conditions, the tetragonal phase undergoes phase transformation toughening. When the coating is subjected to thermal or mechanical stress, the tetragonal phase transforms into a monoclinic phase, expanding in volume and absorbing energy, thereby inhibiting the initiation and propagation of cracks.

[0102] 3. β-Eucryptite Powder: β-Eucryptite powder has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, closely matching that of the titanium alloy substrate. During high-temperature heating and cooling processes, it effectively buffers thermal stresses between the coating and the substrate, reducing cracking and spalling caused by thermal expansion mismatch. Furthermore, its excellent chemical stability prevents adverse reactions with the titanium alloy substrate and other coating components.

[0103] 4. Lanthanum oxide (La2O3): As a rare earth oxide, lanthanum oxide can form a dense protective film at the interface between the coating and the metal substrate, further inhibiting the diffusion of metal atoms and improving the reliability of the solder stop area.

[0104] (2) Gradient coating design:

[0105] 1. Solderstop Component A (Base Layer): The base layer utilizes a lower-viscosity solderstop component A to enhance adhesion between the coating and the substrate. The low viscosity allows component A to better wet the substrate surface. During the coating process, components such as the dispersant and binder form chemical bonds or physical adsorption with atoms or molecules on the substrate surface, resulting in a strong bond. Furthermore, the appropriate amount of multilayer graphene and rheology modifier added to the base layer helps improve the microstructure of the coating. By adjusting the ratio of multilayer graphene to rheology modifier, oxidation or decomposition upon exposure to high temperatures creates controlled micropores, facilitating subsequent soaking and peeling of the coating without significantly affecting solderstop performance.

[0106] 2. Solder Stop Component B (Top Coat): The top coat uses a high-viscosity solder stop component B, primarily to enhance the coating's stability at high temperatures. The high viscosity of component B allows it to maintain its shape at high temperatures and resist flow deformation caused by thermal stress. The binder (a specific mixture of zirconium sol and aluminum sol) cures at high temperatures, forming a three-dimensional network that tightly binds the ceramic powder and other components, enhancing the coating's overall strength and deformation resistance.

[0107] (3) Additives and process optimization:

[0108] 1. Multilayer graphene: Graphene exhibits excellent thermal conductivity and can create efficient thermal paths within the coating, resulting in more uniform temperature distribution at high temperatures and reducing localized thermal stress concentrations. Furthermore, the graphene layer structure can fill the pores between ceramic powder particles, increasing the coating's density and further enhancing its ability to block metal atom diffusion. Furthermore, the interaction between graphene and other components can improve the coating's rheological properties, making it easier to control during the coating process.

[0109] 2. Rheology Modifier: A rheology modifier, prepared through a specific modification process of α-cellulose (including alkaline treatment to remove hemicellulose, TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation, and the addition of surface modifiers), exhibits unique rheological properties. At room temperature, it increases the viscosity of the coating, ensuring excellent shape retention during solder stop application and precise coating. At high temperatures, its molecular structure changes, releasing a certain lubricating effect, alleviating thermal stress within the coating and reducing flow deformation. Furthermore, the rheology modifier improves the dispersion of ceramic powder in the solvent, preventing agglomeration, thereby enhancing the uniformity and stability of the coating.

[0110] 3. Preparation Process: The process parameters, including the mixing order of the ingredients, stirring speed, ultrasonic dispersion time, and drying temperature and time, have been carefully designed and optimized. These parameters include first adding the dispersant to the solvent and then ultrasonically dispersing it to fully activate the dispersant and maximize its dispersing effect. A high-speed disperser homogenizes the ingredients to achieve a uniform mixing and stable dispersion. Precise control of drying temperature and time ensures complete evaporation of the solvent from the coating while preventing cracks or other defects in the coating caused by excessive temperatures or prolonged drying times.

[0111] Analysis of data changes from Comparative Examples 1 to 9:

[0112] Comparative Example 1: The hexagonal boron nitride dosage was reduced from 10 parts to 3 parts, resulting in a significant reduction in the coating's key lubricating and barrier components. At high temperatures, the lack of h-BN's layered structure significantly reduces frictional resistance within the coating, making it more susceptible to flow and deformation. Furthermore, the reduced h-BN content weakens its ability to block metal atom diffusion, further impacting solder stop performance. The Y-PSZ dosage was increased to 17 parts. Although it has higher hardness and strength, its thermal expansion coefficient differs significantly from that of the titanium alloy substrate. Increasing the Y-PSZ content exacerbated the thermal expansion mismatch between the coating and substrate, significantly increasing the thermal stress generated during high-temperature heating and cooling, making the coating more susceptible to cracking. Furthermore, excessive Y-PSZ can create localized stress concentration areas within the coating, promoting crack initiation and propagation. The reduced h-BN content strengthens the bond between the coating and the titanium alloy substrate, making it difficult for alkaline solution to penetrate the coating-substrate interface during chemical stripping, thus prolonging the removal time. At the same time, due to the changes in the coating structure, particles are more likely to generate scratches during mechanical polishing, resulting in increased substrate roughness.

[0113] Comparative Example 2: The amount of Y-PSZ is reduced to 4 parts, resulting in insufficient content of stable tetragonal phase structure in the coating. At high temperatures, due to the reduction in the tetragonal phase content, the phase transformation toughening effect of Y-PSZ is weakened, the coating's ability to resist thermal and mechanical stresses decreases, and cracks are easily generated. The amount of β-eucryptite powder is increased to 10 parts. Although its low expansion properties help to alleviate some thermal stress, the increase in the proportion of ceramic phase reduces the toughness of the coating and increases its brittleness. Under the action of thermal stress, the coating is more likely to crack and the crack propagation rate is accelerated. β-eucryptite powder is easy to react with NaOH to a certain extent, which theoretically helps chemical stripping. However, due to the high proportion of ceramic phase in the coating, the porosity of the coating will change, causing some particles to fall off more easily during mechanical polishing, forming scratches, and increasing the roughness of the substrate. At the same time, the reaction of excessive β-eucryptite powder will change the structure of the coating, making it difficult to discharge the gas generated during the chemical stripping process, affecting the stripping effect.

[0114] Comparative Example 3: Multilayer graphene has extremely high thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct heat, making the coating temperature evenly distributed. When graphene is not added, the heat conduction path inside the coating is destroyed, and local overtemperature is likely to occur at high temperatures, leading to thermal stress concentration. Thermal stress concentration makes the coating more prone to cracks. In addition, thermal stress concentration will also affect the rheological properties of the coating, making the flow deformation of the coating at high temperatures higher than that of Example 1. The lamellar structure of graphene can play a certain lubricating role in the coating and improve the interface bonding state between the coating and the substrate; multilayer graphene is oxidized to form micropores after being subjected to high temperature, which helps the subsequent immersion and peeling of the coating. Without the presence of graphene, the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is enhanced, hindering the penetration of the alkali solution. During the mechanical polishing process, due to the lack of the lubricating effect of graphene, the friction between the particles and the coating increases, resulting in increased roughness.

[0115] Comparative Example 4: Y-PSZ was replaced with conventional zirconia. Conventional zirconia undergoes a phase transition from monoclinic to tetragonal to cubic at high temperatures, accompanied by a volume change (the monoclinic-tetragonal phase transition results in a volume expansion of approximately 4%-5%). Within the superplastic forming temperature range, this phase transition and volume change can generate significant internal stress within the coating, potentially inducing cracks. In contrast, Y-PSZ, stabilized by yttrium oxide, maintains a stable tetragonal structure at high temperatures, effectively avoiding the volume change and internal stress associated with the phase transition. Conventional zirconia is relatively weak in chemical stability and its ability to block metal atom diffusion. At high temperatures, atoms in the titanium alloy matrix are more likely to undergo diffusion bonding reactions through the conventional zirconia coating, resulting in reduced solder stop effectiveness and increased flow deformation. However, Y-PSZ, due to its stable tetragonal structure and excellent chemical stability, can better block metal atom diffusion, ensuring the reliability of the solder stop area. Conventional zirconia reacts with NaOH to form soluble zirconates, which theoretically facilitate chemical stripping. However, the phase transformation of ordinary zirconia affects the substrate, creating microcracks. This creates a tighter bond between the coating and the substrate, and some solder stoppers can become embedded in the microcracks on the substrate surface, making removal more difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, these microcracks can affect mechanical polishing and increase substrate roughness.

[0116] Comparative Example 5: No rheology modifier added. Rheology modifiers play a key role in regulating viscosity and improving rheological properties in the coating. Without a rheology modifier, the coating's viscosity at room temperature cannot be effectively controlled, leading to sagging and uneven coating during the coating process. At high temperatures, due to the lack of a rheology modifier, the coating's viscosity drops sharply with increasing temperature, making it unable to maintain a good shape and causing significant flow deformation. Rheology modifiers also disperse and stabilize ceramic powder particles in the coating. Without them, the ceramic powder particles tend to agglomerate, resulting in an uneven internal structure of the coating. Under thermal stress, agglomerated areas are more susceptible to stress concentration, which can trigger the initiation and propagation of cracks, resulting in a distinct network of crack structures. Furthermore, the unevenness of the coating structure can affect its adhesion to the substrate, further reducing the coating's stability. The rheology modifier decomposes upon exposure to high temperatures, forming micropores that facilitate subsequent soaking and peeling of the coating; however, it does not significantly affect solder stop performance. The lack of rheology regulator deteriorates the coating structure, increasing the difficulty of polishing. At the same time, large flaking debris will leave scratches on the substrate surface, resulting in increased substrate roughness.

[0117] Comparative Example 6: α-cellulose is directly used as a rheology modifier. α-cellulose is more likely to undergo concentrated carbonization and decomposition at high temperatures, producing uneven gas, which accumulates into large bubbles inside the coating, causing bubbling and expansion of the coating, seriously damaging the structure of the coating, and increasing the flow deformation. The compatibility between unmodified α-cellulose and other ingredients is poor, and it is difficult to form a uniform and stable dispersion system. During the drying and curing process of the coating, phase separation is easily generated between α-cellulose and ceramic powder, resulting in an uneven internal structure of the coating and concentrated internal stress, which in turn causes cracks. The concentrated carbonized residues have a strong bond with the titanium alloy substrate, and chemical stripping is difficult to completely remove these residues, requiring longer mechanical polishing. At the same time, the carbonized particles have a high hardness and are prone to scratching the surface of the substrate during mechanical polishing, resulting in increased roughness.

[0118] Comparative Example 7: The rheology modifier was not modified with aluminum dimyristate and a silane coupling agent. Aluminum dimyristate and a silane coupling agent can form a good interfacial bond between the rheology modifier and the ceramic powder. Without these modifiers, the interfacial forces between the rheology modifier and the ceramic powder are weak, making debonding more likely at high temperatures. Debonding can damage the coating's internal structure, reduce its stability, and increase flow deformation. Modification with aluminum dimyristate and a silane coupling agent can control the decomposition of α-cellulose, preventing gas accumulation. Their absence can lead to the accumulation of large bubbles within the coating, causing expansion and increased flow deformation. The cellulose hydroxyl groups in the unmodified rheology modifier easily form chemical bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, with atoms on the surface of the titanium alloy substrate, resulting in a tighter bond between the coating and the substrate. During chemical stripping, alkali solution has difficulty breaking these chemical bonds, resulting in a prolonged removal time. Furthermore, due to the strong interfacial bonding, mechanical polishing can also more easily cause scratches on the substrate surface, increasing roughness.

[0119] Comparative Example 8: Rheology modifier without the addition of aluminum dimyristate. Aluminum dimyristate acts as a lubricant, which can reduce the internal friction resistance in the coating, and can also protect the cellulose from concentrated decomposition and carbonization, and avoid bubble aggregation and expansion. When aluminum dimyristate is not added, the viscosity of the coating at high temperature will increase significantly, the flow resistance will increase, and local thermal stress concentration will result. Local thermal stress concentration makes the coating more prone to deformation and cracking, and the flow deformation amount increases. Lacking the lubricating effect of aluminum dimyristate, the coating will become harder and more brittle after drying, and its toughness will decrease. Hard and brittle coatings are more likely to crack when subjected to thermal stress or mechanical stress, and the crack propagation rate is accelerated. Due to the increased hardness of the coating, the mechanical polishing process takes longer, and the particles are prone to scratches on the surface of the substrate.
