[0001] This invention relates to the field of soldering iron technology, and more specifically, to a lightweight, corrosion-resistant soldering iron tip based on a carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resin carbonized composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] A soldering iron is an essential tool for electronics manufacturing and appliance repair, primarily used for soldering components and wires. The soldering tip is an accessory for the soldering iron, and its performance directly affects the quality and efficiency of the soldering process.
[0003] Currently, most mainstream soldering iron tips are made of metallic materials such as copper, iron-nickel alloys, or surface-plated alloys. However, traditional materials have drawbacks such as heavy weight, poor corrosion resistance, and thermal degradation, affecting soldering efficiency and quality. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional materials, existing technologies also use non-metallic materials such as ceramics and graphite to prepare soldering iron tips. However, non-metallic materials generally suffer from high brittleness, poor resistance to mechanical impact, difficulty in processing and shaping, and high cost, making them difficult to widely apply in practical industrial scenarios.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new type of soldering iron tip material that is lightweight, has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, this invention provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant soldering iron tip based on carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resin carbonized composite material and its preparation method.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant soldering iron tip, comprising a substrate and a surface modification layer; The matrix is prepared from a carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resin carbonized composite material, and the carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resin carbonized composite material matrix has a gradient thermal conductivity structure. The method for preparing the matrix is as follows: Step 1: According to the shape of the soldering iron tip, the carbon fiber is woven into a carbon fiber braid; Step 2: Impregnate the carbon fiber braid in a phenolic resin solution using vacuum-assisted impregnation, followed by gradient temperature curing to obtain a blank; Step 3: Under an inert atmosphere, the blank is gradient sintered and cooled to obtain the matrix.
[0007] Furthermore, in step 1, the carbon fiber volume ratio of the carbon fiber braid is 40-60%.
[0008] Furthermore, in step 2, the impregnation process applies a pressure of 0.5~2.0 MPa.
[0009] Furthermore, in step 2, the gradient temperature curing refers to: First stage: Increase the temperature to 60-80°C at a rate of 0.5-1.0°C / min, and hold for 60-120 minutes; Second stage: Increase the temperature to 100-120°C at a rate of 0.3-0.5°C / min, and hold for 120-180 min; The third stage: Increase the temperature to 160-180°C at a rate of 0.2-0.3°C / min, and hold for 180-240 minutes.
[0010] Furthermore, in step 2, pressure is applied during the gradient temperature curing process: First stage: Apply pressure of 0.1~0.5MPa; Second stage: Apply pressure of 1.0~2.0 MPa; Third stage: Apply pressure of 1.5~2.5MPa.
[0011] Furthermore, in step 3, the gradient sintering refers to: First stage: Increase the temperature to 300-400°C at a rate of 1.0-3.0°C / min and hold for 1-2 hours; Second stage: Increase the temperature to 600-800°C at a rate of 2.0-5.0°C / min and hold for 2-4 hours; The third stage: Increase the temperature to 1000-1200°C at a rate of 3.0-8.0°C / min and hold for 4-6 hours.
[0012] Furthermore, in step 3, during the gradient sintering process, the pressure is controlled at 0.1~0.2MPa and the inert gas flow rate is 100~200mL / min.
[0013] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the lightweight and corrosion-resistant soldering iron tip, comprising the following steps: S1, Preparation of the matrix; S2, a micron-scale SiC antioxidant layer is formed on the substrate surface by chemical vapor deposition to obtain the soldering iron tip.
[0014] Furthermore, the specific steps of S2 are as follows: Using methyltrichlorosilane as the silicon and carbon source, and hydrogen as the carrier gas and reducing agent, a SiC antioxidant layer is formed on the substrate surface. During the process, the temperature was controlled at 1000~1100°C, the pressure was controlled at 4.5~5.0 kPa, the molar ratio of hydrogen to methyltrichlorosilane was (9~10):1, and the deposition time was 4~6 h.

[0047] Compared with traditional copper soldering iron tips, the soldering iron tips of each embodiment are significantly lighter, weighing only about 20-25% of traditional copper soldering iron tips. This effectively achieves weight reduction, making it easier for operators to use for extended periods and reducing hand fatigue.
[0048] In terms of bending strength, most embodiments exceed 280 MPa, with embodiment 3 reaching 398 MPa, which is significantly better than the 220 MPa of traditional copper soldering iron tips, indicating that its structural stability and durability have been significantly improved.
[0049] In the acid resistance test, the mass loss rate of the examples was generally less than 0.2%, with Example 7 at only 0.01%, while Comparative Example 1, which did not form a SiC antioxidant layer, had a mass loss rate as high as 3.50%, and the traditional copper soldering iron tip was severely corroded. This shows that the SiC antioxidant layer formed by chemical vapor deposition and subsequent plasma treatment processes of the present invention can effectively improve the acid corrosion resistance of the soldering iron tip.
[0050] In terms of thermal response performance, the time required for each embodiment to rise from room temperature to 300°C is less than 7.8s, with embodiment 5 requiring only 6.2s, which is far lower than the 15.5s of the traditional copper soldering iron tip. This demonstrates good thermal conductivity and rapid heating capability, which helps to improve the efficiency of soldering operations.
[0051] Meanwhile, based on the comparison of various embodiments and comparative examples, it can be seen that gradient temperature curing and gradient sintering processes are very important for improving the bending strength and thermal response performance of soldering iron tips, and can significantly improve overall performance.
[0052] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
