Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel-cored aluminum stranded wire technology, and specifically to a tensile steel-cored aluminum stranded wire. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) is a widely used conductor material in power transmission. It consists of an inner layer of high-strength steel wire and an outer layer of multi-strand aluminum wire. The steel core, typically made of ordinary steel or galvanized steel wire, provides mechanical strength and tensile strength. The aluminum wire, wound around the steel core, is composed of multiple strands and is responsible for conducting current. ACSR is widely used in high-voltage transmission lines, urban power distribution networks, wind power generation, and solar power generation systems, characterized by its lightweight, high strength, and high conductivity. During use, ACSR is susceptible to corrosion from atmospheric moisture, chemical gases, dust, and salts. Corrosion decreases progressively from coastal industrial areas to rural areas. This corrosion can lead to wire breakage and strand breakage, causing power transmission accidents.

[0003] The mechanical life of steel-cored aluminum stranded wire fundamentally depends on the corrosion resistance of its galvanized steel core. Current technologies typically improve the corrosion resistance of the steel core by modifying the galvanizing process, applying anti-corrosion grease, or using an aluminum-clad steel core. However, these methods have limitations: excessively thick zinc layers increase brittleness, easily generating micro-cracks during stranding and bending, which can become entry points for corrosion; grease is prone to aging and drying, and may attract dust; while aluminum-clad steel cores offer good corrosion resistance, they are expensive, and the aluminum-steel interface can still corrode after mechanical damage. Some technologies employ applying anti-corrosion paint to the entire stranded wire after stranding, but the paint film is easily damaged during application and has difficulty penetrating the steel core, resulting in incomplete protection. Therefore, developing a steel-cored aluminum stranded wire with superior corrosion resistance and long-term tensile strength retention has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide tensile-strength steel-cored aluminum stranded wire, and to solve the following technical problems:

[0005] Existing tensile steel-cored aluminum stranded wires suffer from insufficient corrosion resistance and low long-term tensile performance retention.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention, the thickness of the Zn-Ni-WC composite coating is 5-15 μm.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: the plating conditions for the Zn-Ni-WC composite coating are: pH value 5-6, temperature 40-50℃, and current density 2-4A / dm³. 2 .

[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention, the thickness of the anti-corrosion coating is 10-20 μm.

[0019] As a further aspect of the present invention, the preparation method of the long-chain modified polyurethane acrylate prepolymer includes the following steps:

[0020] δ-decyl lactone, terephthalic acid and diphenyl phosphate were mixed and reacted, and after washing, polydecyl lactone diol was obtained.

[0021] Isophorone diisocyanate, dibutyltin dilaurate, and ethyl acetate were mixed and heated in an oil bath. Triethylene glycol was added, and the temperature was increased further after the reaction. Polydecyl lactone diol was added, and the temperature was increased further after the reaction. P-hydroxyanisole and hydroxyethyl acrylate were added to react and obtain a long-chain modified polyurethane acrylate prepolymer.

[0022] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of the δ-decyl lactone, the terephthalic acid dimethyl alcohol, and the diphenyl phosphate is 13-20:1-1.5:0.5-0.6; and the mass ratio of the isophorone diisocyanate, the dibutyltin dilaurate, the triethylene glycol, the polydecyl lactone diol, the p-hydroxyanisole, and the hydroxyethyl acrylate is 8-9:0.01-0.02:2.5-3.5:15-20:0.006-0.007:2-2.5.

[0023] As a further aspect of the present invention, the preparation method of the dopamine-modified sustained-release microcapsules includes the following steps:

[0024] Hollow glass microspheres were added to a sodium hydroxide solution, heated to react and freeze-dried, and then a mixed solution of benzotriazole, tung oil and ethyl acetate was added and vacuum impregnated to obtain corrosion inhibitor microcapsules.

[0025] Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane was added to deionized water, followed by ultrasonic dispersion of the corrosion inhibitor microcapsules. Dopamine hydrochloride was then added. After the reaction was completed, the microcapsules were washed, filtered, and dried to obtain dopamine-modified sustained-release microcapsules.

[0026] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of the benzotriazole, the tung oil and the hollow glass microspheres is 1-3:10:1.5-4.5, and the mass ratio of the corrosion inhibitor microcapsules and the dopamine hydrochloride is 8-12:1.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0028] This invention forms a Zn-Ni-WC composite coating on the steel core through electroplating, creating an anti-corrosion coating on the stranded steel-core aluminum wire. This coating not only provides excellent corrosion and weather resistance but also maintains the original mechanical and electrical properties of the steel-core aluminum wire. The synergistic effect extends the corrosion resistance life of the steel core several times compared to traditional galvanized steel wire. The anti-corrosion coating utilizes a long-chain modified polyurethane acrylate prepolymer as the base resin and dopamine-modified slow-release microcapsules, which work synergistically to improve the coating's anti-corrosion performance. The dual corrosion of the steel core and aluminum wire is significantly suppressed at its source. Throughout the conductor's lifespan, the effective cross-sectional area of ​​its load-bearing components hardly decreases due to corrosion, ensuring the long-term stability of its rated breaking force. This makes it particularly suitable for important transmission lines and long-span projects, significantly extending its lifespan and reducing the overall cost over its entire lifespan, resulting in extremely high cost-effectiveness.

[0029] The Zn-Ni-WC composite coating prepared in this invention features the co-deposition of Zn and Ni and the uniform distribution of WC particles. The Zn-Ni alloy matrix provides excellent sacrificial anolyte protection; even with scratches on the coating, zinc preferentially corrodes and protects the internal steel substrate. The inclusion of nano-WC particles significantly refines the coating grains, eliminates porosity, and provides extremely high hardness and wear resistance. The uniformly distributed nano-WC particles effectively fill the pores in the alloy layer, providing a physical barrier and greatly extending the path of corrosive media to the substrate, thus significantly slowing down the corrosion process. Furthermore, WC is chemically extremely stable and does not participate in electrochemical reactions. The Zn-Ni-WC composite coating formed on the steel core surface in this invention has extremely high hardness, effectively resisting frictional wear against clamps, vibration dampers, and the interior of the aluminum strands during stranding, erection, and wind vibration, avoiding the problem of protective failure caused by wear in traditional zinc plating.

[0030] In this invention, an anti-corrosion coating is formed on stranded steel-cored aluminum wire. A long-chain modified polyurethane acrylate prepolymer with decanol is introduced as the base resin. Since aluminum wire requires frequent bending during production and installation, the long-chain polydecanol diol segments in the long-chain modified polyurethane acrylate prepolymer provide excellent flexibility and creep resistance. Furthermore, the polar groups in the polyurethane acrylate molecules can form strong intermolecular forces with the oxide layer on the aluminum surface, providing a solid foundation for adhesion and preventing the coating from cracking or peeling due to wire bending. Simultaneously, the hydrophobic long-chain structure and stable ester bonds give the anti-corrosion coating good hydrophobicity and water resistance, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance. This invention also incorporates dopamine-modified sustained-release microcapsules into the coating. These microcapsules are hollow glass microspheres loaded with benzotriazole and tung oil. When the coating is damaged, the microcapsules rupture, and the tung oil immediately flows out, filling the cracks and undergoing oxidative cross-linking to form a physical barrier. The benzotriazole dissolved in the tung oil also flows out and diffuses through capillary action to the damaged aluminum surface, rapidly forming a highly efficient chemical protective film that inhibits electrochemical corrosion and improves repair efficiency. Simultaneously, the polydopamine shell not only enhances interfacial adhesion but also provides better protection for the internal repair agent mixture, preventing premature failure.

[0051] Aluminum wire is stranded with the aforementioned steel core on a stranding machine, with 12 strands in the inner layer and 14 strands in the outer layer, forming a steel-cored aluminum stranded wire. This wire is then immersed in a degreasing alkaline solution at 70°C for 10 minutes, rinsed with deionized water, and coated with the aforementioned anti-corrosion coating.

[0061] Performance testing

[0062] Wear resistance test of Zn-Ni-WC composite coating: The Zn-Ni-WC composite coating was tested using an HSR-2M reciprocating friction tester. The sliding distance was 5mm, the reciprocating frequency was 5Hz, the load was 5N, and the test time was 60min. The grinding ball was a 304 stainless steel ball with a diameter of 6mm. The friction coefficient was calculated as COF=F / N.

[0063] Wherein, COF is the coefficient of friction, F is the frictional force recorded by the sensor, and N is the load; the detection results are shown in Table 1;

[0064] Wetting test of anti-corrosion coating: The surface contact angle of the anti-corrosion coating was measured using an optical contact angle meter (DSA100). The water droplet size was 8μL. To reduce errors and obtain accurate experimental test results, the test was conducted 5 times at different locations, and the average value was taken as the final test result. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Adhesion test of anti-corrosion coating: A Positest ATA-20 pull-out type fully automatic adhesion tester was used for measurement. First, the sample surface and test spindle were preliminarily ground to improve adhesion. Then, a special adhesive was used to firmly bond the anti-corrosion coating sample to the test spindle. After the adhesive had completely cured, the adhesion was measured according to the standard test procedure. To ensure data reliability, three parallel samples were set up for each experiment, and each sample was tested three times. Finally, the average of all test results was taken as the adhesion value of the coating; the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Testing of Anti-corrosion Coatings: The anti-corrosion coatings were tested using a KOSTER CS350M electrochemical workstation. A scratched coating was used for electrochemical analysis; the scratching was performed by creating a cross-shaped scratch on the coating surface with a utility knife. A three-electrode system was used for the electrochemical tests: a coated tensile steel-core aluminum stranded wire as the working electrode (WE), a saturated calomel electrode (RE) as the reference electrode, and a platinum electrode as the counter electrode (CE). The amplitude was ±20 mV, and the scanning frequency range was 105 Hz to 102 Hz. Both the coated and scratched coatings were immersed in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, and the changes in impedance modulus values ​​were measured after 30 days of immersion, followed by fitting analysis. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Neutral salt spray resistance test of anti-corrosion coating: The macroscopic anti-corrosion ability of the anti-corrosion coating was tested by immersion in salt water. A cross-shaped scratch was made on the coating surface with a utility knife, and the scratch depth should penetrate the coating to the tensile steel core aluminum stranded wire substrate. The scratched coating was immersed in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution at room temperature for 30 days, and the macroscopic corrosion morphology of the scratched area of ​​the coating after immersion in salt water was observed. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0069]

[0070] As shown in Table 1, the tensile steel-core aluminum stranded wire prepared by this invention has a hydrophobic corrosion-resistant coating and a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant Zn-Ni-WC composite coating on the steel core, which gives the prepared tensile steel-core aluminum stranded wire long-term corrosion resistance, thereby ensuring long-term tensile strength. The anti-corrosion coating prepared in Comparative Example 3 was not modified with long carbon chains, resulting in a hydrophilic surface and the worst adhesion, leading to decreased corrosion resistance. In Comparative Example 4, the anti-corrosion coating with added dopamine-modified slow-release microcapsules but without benzotriazole showed decreased corrosion resistance, indicating a synergistic anti-corrosion effect between benzotriazole and tung oil. In Comparative Example 5, the anti-corrosion coating without added dopamine-modified slow-release microcapsules showed significantly reduced corrosion resistance and adhesion. In Comparative Example 6, no Zn-Ni-WC composite coating was formed on the steel core, and scratch tests corroded the steel core, indicating that the corrosion resistance of a single anti-corrosion coating is limited.
