Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal protection, in particular to a preparation method of an inorganic metal protection agent and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, new energy is gradually replacing traditional fuel vehicles, and metal surface electroplating process as a common key technology has been widely used in the field of new energy vehicles.
[0003] The high-voltage environment of new energy vehicles has given rise to high performance requirements for automobile connectors. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the core feature of new energy vehicles is the demand for high voltage and large current, which means that the safety, reliability and anti-interference of all electrical connection components inside the vehicle are extremely high. In order to meet these requirements, the core components (plastic parts molded by injection molding and metal parts stamped) of the connector need to be treated with silver electroplating. However, due to the characteristics of the silver electroplating layer, the silver electroplating layer is easily eroded and discolored in a high temperature and high humidity environment, so it is necessary to protect the silver electroplating layer to ensure its durability.
[0004] The common post-silver electroplating protection in the prior art is mostly water-based / oil-based organic coating (main film-forming substance is thiol substance), but this type of protection agent has significant technical defects in the use process of automobile connectors: a complete connector core component needs three steps to form, stamping first, electroplating last, and then secondary injection molding to realize the final insulation and sealing, so as to assemble a safe and reliable connector.
[0005] The secondary injection molding in this process requires complete tightness of the combination of plastic and metal. The traditional water-based / oil-based organic coating usually has a large surface tension, and it is difficult to ensure the tightness of the plastic attached to the metal surface after film formation and secondary injection molding, thereby affecting the sealing of the connector and causing the connector to be unreliable and unable to be used.
[0006] Therefore, the present application designs a preparation method of an inorganic metal protection agent and application thereof to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0104] (1) The EDS component analysis results of the film formed on the surface of the silver-plated workpiece using the method described in Example 1 of the present application are shown in Table 1.

[0107] (2) The protection effect test of the silver-plated pieces tested in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested, i.e. the partial preferred results of the sulfidation test in a 2% potassium sulfide solution (at room temperature 25-28℃), the surface tension test using a U.S. A.Shine dyna pen, and the baking test at 260℃ using a baking test chamber, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0110] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, if the cellulose nanocrystal powder is not added and the cellulose nanocrystal is not compounded with complexing agent 1, the prepared metal protective agent has reduced sulfidation resistance, increased surface tension, and reduced high temperature resistance.
[0111] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, if the ratio of complexing agent 1 and complexing agent 2 is changed so that the ratio of complexing agent 1 to complexing agent 2 is not within the range of 1:2-1:10, the prepared metal protective agent has reduced sulfidation resistance, increased surface tension, and reduced high temperature resistance.
[0112] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, the sulfidation resistance of the metal protective agent prepared in Example 3 is slightly worse than that of the commercially available silver protective agent Ag-820, but it has relative sulfidation resistance compared to the unprotected pure silver-plated workpiece (which cannot resist sulfidation), indicating that it can be used for short-term protection. In addition, the dyna value test and baking test results are better than the commercially available silver protective agent Ag-820 currently used by the company, indicating that it is more suitable for subsequent injection molding process than the commercially available silver protective agent Ag-820 currently used by the company, and can achieve short-term protection of silver-plated metal workpieces during subsequent processing procedures without discoloration.
[0113] From Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be known that the inorganic metal protection agent prepared in the embodiment 1 of the present application has a more uniform and smooth surface after film forming on the surface of the silver-plated workpiece than the surface after film forming of the commercially available Ag-820 water-soluble silver protection agent, the smooth surface reduces the risk of friction damage and enhances the wear resistance, thereby the film layer can better maintain the original metal luster and texture of the silver layer and the appearance is more bright, and for the precision electronic components, it also helps to ensure the stability of the electrical contact performance.
[0114] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit the present application; although the present application is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features can be replaced by the equivalent ones; and these modifications or replacements will not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
