Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a method for preparing a preformed solder with its own flux, which is mainly suitable for the preparation of metal material welding materials. Background Art

[0002] Existing methods for making preformed solder sheets generally fall into the following two approaches: Option 1: First, the alloy is prepared by mixing and smelting the ingredients; then, the preformed solder sheet is obtained by casting an ingot, extruding a strip, and then rolling and punching it. The surface of the strip is then coated with flux by methods such as dip coating, thermal spraying, electrostatic spraying, and electrostatic vibration. The surface flux is then cured by methods such as resistance, infrared heating, and ultraviolet radiation. After cooling, the preformed solder sheet is pressed and punched to obtain the desired shape. Option 2: Using the above methods, the main body of the solder sheet is produced by mixing, smelting, casting, extruding, rolling, and punching. The flux is then applied to the sheet by processes such as dip coating and spraying. The surface of the flux-coated sheet is then dried to obtain the desired preformed solder sheet.

[0003] Since the preformed solder sheets in these two processes are in sheet form and stacked and packaged, the flux must be prevented from sticking to each other before and after surface curing or drying. Also, since most preformed solder sheets are small, spraying flux on the smaller punched solder sheets requires the use of special tooling equipment to arrange and separate the semi-finished solder sheets. The overall coating process is relatively complex and costly, and the content and uniformity of the flux coating cannot be precisely controlled. The overall efficiency is low, making it only suitable for the production of larger preformed solder sheets. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a simple, convenient, low-cost solder preparation method with uniform and accurate flux ratio.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is: a method for preparing a preformed solder with its own flux, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: S1 flux preparation: grind the required flux to a powder particle size between 25μm and 150μm; S2. Preparation of solder body, wherein the solder body is made of tin-based alloy, which is composed of tin and at least one of copper, lead, bismuth, antimony, silver, and nickel; S3 grinds the tin-based alloy into two or three particle sizes.

S4 Tin-based alloy powders of different particle sizes are mixed in proportion: when there are two particle sizes, the proportion is that the coarse powder accounts for 65%-85% of the total mass of the Tin-based alloy, and the fine powder accounts for 15%-35% of the total mass of the Tin-based alloy; when there are three particle sizes, the proportion is that the coarse powder accounts for 55%-65% of the total mass of the Tin-based alloy, the medium powder accounts for 10%-20% of the total mass of the Tin-based alloy, and the fine powder accounts for 20%-30% of the total mass of the Tin-based alloy powder; S5: Thoroughly mix the flux powder and the solder main body (tin-based alloy) powder, where the flux accounts for 0.3%-5% of the total mass of the solder; The mixed powder is extruded into a mold by an extruder.

[0007] The raw materials used in this application are powdered materials. Therefore, before being extruded into strips, the powdered materials need to be initially pressurized into large solid blocks (billets) and then extruded into strips. In addition, the powdered materials undergo two high-pressure processes to better ensure the density of the strips.

[0010] The solder body described in this application is SAC0307 or SAC305, and the solder body accounts for 98%-99% of the total mass of the solder.

[0011] The soldering flux described in the present application is composed of hydrogenated rosin, adipic acid and benzotriazole.

[0012] The soldering flux described in the present application is composed of one, two or three of hydrogenated rosin, adipic acid, benzotriazole, chlorobridgeic acid, diethylimidazole and succinic acid.
