[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0051] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a corrosion-resistant composite cable conductor. The corrosion-resistant composite cable conductor includes, from the inside out, an aluminum alloy conductor, a creep-resistant reinforcing layer, and a corrosion-resistant protective layer, in weight percentages as follows:

[0052] The aluminum alloy conductor is made of the following components: Si 0.4%~0.6%, Fe 0.1%~0.3%, Cu 0~0.05%, Mg 0.4%~0.6%, Zn 0.05%~0.1%, conductivity-enhancing elements 0.01%~0.08%, and the balance being Al, wherein the content of impurity elements in the aluminum alloy conductor does not exceed 0.03%.

[0061] Reinforcing fibers (such as glass fiber and basalt fiber) provide high modulus and tensile strength, withstand external mechanical loads, and inhibit the creep deformation of aluminum alloys at high temperatures; interface reinforcing agents and nanofillers improve the interfacial bonding force between reinforcing fibers and the first polymer matrix, enhance interlayer mechanical transfer, and reduce the creep rate; and through a multi-layer co-extrusion process, the aluminum alloy conductor mixture and the creep-resistant reinforcing mixture are simultaneously molded to form a tightly bonded composite cable, ensuring the stability of creep resistance performance.

[0069] Beneficially, by identifying B, Zr, and rare earth elements (Ce, La, Y) as the conductivity-enhancing elements, and using specific intermediate alloys (Al-B, Al-Zr, Al-Ce, Al-La, Al-Y), the solid solubility of impurity elements in aluminum alloy conductors is effectively reduced, resulting in higher stability. The introduction of rare earth elements further improves the electrochemical corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys and extends the service life of cables in humid or salt spray environments. Adding conductivity-enhancing elements in the form of intermediate alloys makes the melting process more uniform and reduces performance fluctuations caused by uneven element distribution.

[0070] Further, the reinforcing fiber is selected from at least one of glass fiber, basalt fiber, and carbon fiber. The first polymer matrix is ​​selected from at least one of polyamide, polypropylene, and polyetheretherketone.

Nano ZnO, Nano At least one of the following. The plasticizer is selected from at least one of dioctyl phthalate, tributyl citrate, and epoxidized soybean oil.

[0071] Among them, glass fiber and basalt fiber provide high strength and low cost, while carbon fiber further improves modulus and creep resistance, jointly suppressing the deformation of aluminum alloys at high temperatures; polyamide (PA66) and polypropylene (PP) provide good heat resistance and chemical stability, while polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is suitable for extreme high-temperature environments; polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polyurethane (PU) serve as protective layer matrices, isolating external corrosive media; interface reinforcing agents improve the adhesion between fibers / fillers and the matrix through chemical bonding (such as the Si-O bonds of silane coupling agents); nanofillers ( , Increase the rigidity of the creep-resistant reinforcement layer, functional filler ( ZnO enhances weather resistance and UV protection, while plasticizers (DOP, TBC) improve coating flexibility.

[0073] Furthermore, step a specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0074] a1. Melt the high-purity aluminum matrix and the intermediate alloy containing conductivity-enhancing elements at 750~780℃ and hold for 20~40 minutes.

[0075] a2. Argon purging and The refining agent removes gases and inclusions, and the purging time is 10-15 minutes.

[0076] a3. Continuous casting to form aluminum alloy rods with a diameter of 10~15 mm, with a cooling rate of 10~15℃ / s.

[0077] Hold at 10-530℃ for 5-7 hours, then quickly water-cool to room temperature.

[0078] A5.440~490℃ is used to extrude an aluminum alloy conductor mixture with a diameter of 3~5 mm.

[0079] Keep warm at 170~210℃ for 6~10 hours.

[0080] Furthermore, step b specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0081] b1. The reinforcing fibers, the first polymer matrix, the interface reinforcing agent and the nanofiller are mixed in weight percentage and granulated using a twin-screw extruder.

[0082] b2. Dry the mixture after batching at 80~120℃ for 2~4 hours to obtain the creep-resistant reinforced mixture.

[0083] Furthermore, step c specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0084] c1. Micro-arc oxidation or chemical coupling treatment is applied to the surface of the aluminum alloy conductor mixture to form an oxide film or coupling layer.

[0085] c2. A composite cable containing an aluminum alloy conductor and an anti-creep reinforcement layer is prepared by simultaneously extruding an aluminum alloy conductor mixture and an anti-creep reinforcement mixture using a multi-layer co-extruder at an extrusion temperature of 180~380℃.

[0086] c3. Cool to room temperature with water.

[0087] Furthermore, step d specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0088] d1. Mix the second polymer matrix, interface reinforcing agent, functional filler and plasticizer according to the weight percentage, and granulate using a single screw extruder.

[0089] d2. Perform plasma treatment or chemical coupling treatment on the surface of the creep-resistant reinforcement layer of the composite cable for 30-60 seconds.

[0090] d3. The mixture after batching is extruded onto the surface of the composite cable using a single screw extruder at an extrusion temperature of 160~210℃ to form a corrosion-resistant protective layer.

[0091] d4. Cool the air to room temperature.

[0092] Further, in step c1, the chemical coupling treatment specifically includes: immersing the aluminum alloy conductor mixture in a 1%~3% concentration silane coupling agent solution for 1~3 minutes, and drying it at 80~120℃ for 1~2 hours to form a silane coupling layer. In step d2, the chemical coupling treatment specifically includes: immersing the composite cable in a 1%~3% concentration titanate coupling agent solution for 30~60 seconds, and drying it at 80~120℃ for 1~2 hours to form a titanate coupling layer.

[0093] Among them, the silane coupling agent (KH-550 or KH-560) forms Si-O-Al bonds with the Al-OH on the aluminum alloy surface through Si-OH. A 1%~3% concentration and 1~3 minutes of immersion coating ensure uniform coverage. Drying at 80~120℃ forms a coupling layer, enhancing the bond between the aluminum alloy and the creep-resistant reinforcement layer. The titanate coupling agent (such as tetraisopropyl bis(dioctylphosphonic acid) titanate) reacts with the hydroxyl or carboxyl groups on the polymer matrix surface through Ti-O bonds. A 1%~3% concentration and 30~60 seconds of immersion coating form a coupling layer, enhancing the adhesion between the creep-resistant reinforcement layer and the corrosion-resistant protective layer. The two coupling agents form stable chemical bonds according to the chemical properties of different materials. The solvent is removed during the drying process to ensure the density of the coupling layer.

[0094] Furthermore, the reinforcing fibers are obtained through the following modifications:

[0095] The reinforcing fibers are ultrasonically cleaned in ethanol or acetone solution for 10-20 minutes to remove surface impurities.

[0096] Under an inert gas atmosphere, the cleaned reinforcing fibers are placed in a plasma treatment device and treated with oxygen or argon gas at a power of 100~200 W for 1~3 minutes.

[0097] The activated reinforcing fibers are immersed in a 0.5% to 2% silane coupling agent solution and stirred for 1 to 2 hours at a temperature of 60 to 80°C.

[0098] Modified reinforced fibers are obtained by vacuum drying at 80~100℃ for 2~4 hours.

[0099] Among them, ultrasonic cleaning with ethanol or acetone (20~40 kHz) can remove oil and impurities from the surface of the reinforcing fiber and increase surface cleanliness; oxygen or argon plasma treatment can introduce hydroxyl or carboxyl groups on the fiber surface and increase chemically active sites; 0.5%~2% silane coupling agent reacts with the fiber surface at 60~80℃ to form Si-OC or Si-O-Si bonds, which enhances the chemical bonding between the fiber and the polymer matrix; drying at 80~100℃ for 2~4 hours removes the solvent, ensuring the stability of the modified fiber for subsequent formulation and improving the mechanical properties of the creep-resistant reinforcing layer.

[0100] Beneficially, by modifying the reinforcing fibers, the interfacial bonding force between the fibers and the first polymer matrix can be significantly improved, the mechanical properties of the creep-resistant reinforcing layer are enhanced, and the creep rate is further reduced; the surface activity of the modified reinforcing fibers is improved, reducing fiber agglomeration and ensuring the uniformity of the creep-resistant reinforcing layer structure.

[0101] Furthermore, the nanofiller was obtained through the following modification steps:

[0102] The nanofiller is dispersed in ethanol or water, and 0.5% to 1.0% of silane coupling agent is added. The mixture is stirred for 2 to 4 hours at a temperature of 60 to 80°C.

[0103] Add 0.1% to 0.5% of maleic anhydride by total mass of the solution and react for 1 to 2 hours.

[0104] After centrifugation, the nanofiller is vacuum dried at 80~100℃ for 2~4 hours to obtain the modified nanofiller.

[0105] In this process, the nanofiller is dispersed in ethanol or water, and 0.5%~1.0% silane coupling agent reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the filler surface via Si-OH to form a chemically bonded layer; 0.1%~0.5% maleic anhydride reacts with the activated filler surface to form a grafted structure, further improving the compatibility between the filler and the polymer matrix; the solvent is removed by drying at 80~100℃ for 2~4 hours, and centrifugation is performed to ensure the purity of the filler. The modified filler is uniformly dispersed during the preparation process, enhancing the mechanical properties of the creep-resistant reinforcing layer.

[0106] Beneficially, the modified nanofiller can improve the rigidity and toughness of the creep-resistant reinforcement layer and enhance the synergistic effect between the fiber and the matrix; through functionalization modification with silane coupling agent and maleic anhydride, the compatibility between the nanofiller and the first polymer matrix is ​​improved and agglomeration is reduced.

[0164] 4875 g of polyvinyl chloride, 25 g of silane coupling agent (KH-550), and 100 g of dioctyl phthalate were placed in a high-speed mixer and mixed at 500 rpm for 8 minutes to form a uniform corrosion-resistant protective layer mixture. The mixture was then placed in a single-screw extruder and extruded at 190°C and 150 rpm to form granules with a diameter of 2 mm. The composite cable was then placed in a plasma treatment machine using argon gas at a power of 120 W for 45 seconds to increase the chemical activity of the surface of the creep-resistant reinforcing layer. The corrosion-resistant protective layer mixture was then extruded onto the surface of the composite cable at 190°C using a single-screw extruder at an extrusion speed of 4 m / min to form a corrosion-resistant protective layer with a thickness of 0.15 mm. The composite cable was then cooled to 25°C using an air cooling device to cure the corrosion-resistant protective layer.

[0165] Using a polishing machine, polish the surface of the corrosion-resistant protective layer with 1000-grit sandpaper for 30 seconds to improve the surface smoothness and obtain the final cable conductor.

[0166] The test items and methods are the same as in Example 1, and the test data are shown in Table 8 below:

[0167]

[0168] The data above shows that:

[0169] The tensile strengths of Examples 1-5 ranged from 330.5 to 348.3 MPa, all meeting the requirement of ≥330 MPa. Examples 4 (348.3 MPa) and 5 (342.1 MPa) showed the best performance, due to the modified glass fiber (Example 4) and modified nanofibers. (Example 5) Enhanced the interfacial bonding force of the creep-resistant layer, improving mechanical properties. Example 3 (335.2 MPa) used multiple components (B, Zr, Ce, La, and glass fiber, basalt fiber, etc.), and its synergistic effect was slightly better than that of Example 1 (332.5 MPa) and Example 2 (330.5 MPa), which used single components. Comparative Example 1 (305.6 MPa) lacked a creep-resistant reinforcement layer and a corrosion-resistant protective layer, relying solely on the aluminum alloy conductor, resulting in significantly lower strength than required, illustrating the crucial role of the composite structure in tensile strength. Comparative Example 2 (325.4 MPa) lacked the nano-materials in the creep-resistant reinforcement layer. The presence of KH-550 resulted in insufficient bonding between the fiber and the PA66 matrix, leading to substandard strength. Comparative Example 3 (328.9 MPa) lacked B and Ce, resulting in grain refinement and... The formation of the reinforcing phase is limited, and the strength is slightly lower than required.

[0170] Examples 1-5 showed elongation rates ranging from 8.1% to 8.8%, all meeting the requirement of ≥8.0%. Examples 4 (8.8%) and 5 (8.7%) showed higher elongation rates, indicating that modified fibers and nanofillers improved the material's toughness. Comparative Example 1 (9.1%) lacked a composite layer; the aluminum alloy exhibited high toughness but insufficient strength, resulting in a higher elongation rate. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 (8.2% and 8.3%) retained the creep-resistant reinforcement layer, exhibiting moderate toughness and meeting the requirements.

[0171] Examples 1-5 exhibited conductivity ranging from 53.4% ​​to 53.9% IACS, all meeting the requirement of ≥53% IACS. Example 3 (53.9%) showed the highest conductivity due to the synergistic optimization of the lattice structure by multiple conductivity-enhancing elements (B, Zr, Ce, La), which reduced electron scattering. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 (53.7% and 53.6%) retained B and Ce, achieving conductivity levels close to those of Example 1. Comparative Example 3 (52.8%) lacked B and Ce, resulting in substandard conductivity, demonstrating the significant impact of conductivity-enhancing elements on electrical conductivity.

[0172] The steady-state creep rate in Examples 1-5 is 4.6 × ~ 4.8× All satisfy ≤5.0× Comparative Example 1 (7.2 × The lack of a creep-resistant reinforcement layer resulted in excessive creep rate, making the aluminum alloy prone to deformation under high temperature and high stress. Comparative Example 2 (6.1× (lack of nanotechnology) Compared to KH-550, the fiber-matrix interfacial bonding is weak, and the creep rate exceeds the standard. Comparative Example 3 (5.0× The complete anti-creep reinforcement layer is retained, and the creep rate meets the standard, but is slightly higher than that of Example 1, because the lack of B and Ce affects the grain stability.

[0173] Examples 1-5 showed no significant corrosion during the 120-hour salt spray test due to the corrosion-resistant protective layer (containing...). (e.g., DOP) provides excellent corrosion resistance. Comparative Example 1 lacks a protective layer and shows slight pitting corrosion after 120 hours, indicating that the aluminum alloy surface is susceptible to corrosion. Comparative Example 2 lacks... With DOP, the protective layer lacked sufficient weather resistance, resulting in minor pitting corrosion. Comparative Example 3 lacked... DOP is retained, and the corrosion resistance is slightly better than that of Comparative Example 2, but a small amount of pitting corrosion still occurs.

[0174] In summary, Examples 4 and 5 exhibit the best performance due to the optimized mechanical properties of the anti-creep layer achieved by the modified fibers and nanofillers. Example 3 demonstrates excellent overall performance, with the synergistic effect of multiple components improving conductivity and dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for applications requiring high conductivity and stability. Comparative Examples 1-3 show that the absence of an anti-creep reinforcement layer, a corrosion-resistant protective layer, or key components leads to a significant performance degradation, validating the necessity of composite structures and functional components.
