Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of polymer-metal matrix composites, and relates to a method for regulating the bonding force of metal-fluoroplastic and a metal-fluoroplastic product, in particular to a method for regulating the interface performance of a metal-fluoroplastic low-temperature sealing assembly, which has important application in aerospace valve sealing. BACKGROUND As a sealing material that can be used for a long time in an ultra-low temperature (minus 200 DEG C) working condition, polytrifluorochloroethylene (PCTFE) does not crack and does not creep in a liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen environment, and maintains a certain flexibility, and has an important application prospect in the field of national defense and military industry. At present, the material of the valve rod product in the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen filling valve of a carrier rocket is metal, which is easy to wear when the valve moves, thereby causing movement stagnation. Therefore, polytrifluorochloroethylene and metal composite structures are selected when designing valve products to improve the reliability of the valve. However, due to the inertness of polytrifluorochloroethylene, the bonding performance between the polytrifluorochloroethylene and the metal valve is poor, and the debonding phenomenon occurs in use, and the "gas leakage" is easy to occur under high pressure working conditions.
[0002] Patent CN106563629A discloses a method for improving the bonding force of polytrifluorochloroethylene and a metal matrix. A dispersion liquid of polytrifluorochloroethylene is prepared first, then is coated on the surface of a sandblasted metal matrix, and then a sealing assembly connected with the polytrifluorochloroethylene and the metal matrix is prepared by hot plastic molding, so as to improve the interface bonding force of the metal-fluoroplastic. Considering the complex geometry of the metal matrix, the dispersion liquid is difficult to be uniformly coated on the surface of the metal matrix, which affects the quality stability of the product.
[0003] CN117565301A discloses a preparation method for improving the interface performance of a polytrifluorochloroethylene and aluminum alloy composite structure. The method comprises the following steps: S1, treating the sandblasted aluminum alloy (valve) matrix by adopting a method of first sulfuric acid anodization and then potassium dichromate sealing, to form an oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum alloy; S2, filling the polytrifluorochloroethylene into the cavity of the aluminum alloy (valve) matrix treated in S1, and integrally forming by hot plastic molding. In the application, the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum alloy not only enhances the bonding strength of the aluminum alloy and the polytrifluorochloroethylene, but also can be used for the aluminum alloy valve matrix with a complex geometry, and has important application in the polytrifluorochloroethylene valve sealing. However, the scheme includes multiple process procedures such as surface sandblasting, anodic oxidation and sealing treatment, and the process procedure is complex. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the application provides a method for regulating the bonding force of metal-fluoroplastic by a multi-scale interface and a metal-fluoroplastic product. In the application, the surface of a metal substrate is first treated by electrolysis, and then polytrifluorochloroethylene is filled in the cavity of the treated metal substrate by hot plastic die forming to obtain a metal-fluoroplastic low-temperature sealing assembly.
[0005] The purpose of the application is achieved by the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the application provides a method for regulating the bonding force of metal-fluoroplastic by a multi-scale interface, which comprises the following steps: S1, the surface of a metal substrate is first treated by electrolysis; the electrolyte is at least two of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, and hydrochloric acid is a necessary component; the voltage is 10-25 V; the temperature is 10-30 DEG C; and the time is 2-10 min; S2, polytrifluorochloroethylene is filled in the cavity of the metal substrate treated in S1 by hot plastic die forming.
[0006] As an embodiment of the application, in step S1, if the electrolysis time is prolonged to 20 min, the multi-scale micro-nano structure will be destroyed, or the pore structure will be too large, or even a micron or irregular rough structure will be formed.
[0007] As an embodiment of the application, the roughness of the metal substrate treated in step S1 is 5-20 μm, and the size of the surface pores is 30-100 nm.
[0008] As an embodiment of the application, in step S1, the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the electrolyte is 20 g / L-25 g / L. As known by those skilled in the art, hydrochloric acid reacts violently with Al and is difficult to be anodized, so it is usually not used as an electrolyte. In the application, the appropriate introduction of hydrochloric acid significantly improves the roughness of the surface of the pre-metal substrate, which belongs to an unexpected effect.
[0009] As an embodiment of the application, in step S1, the electrolyte is hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid with a molar ratio of 1-3:8-12; or hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid with a molar ratio of 1-3:8-12:1-3.
[0010] As an embodiment of the application, in step S2, the particle size of the polytrifluorochloroethylene is 20-100 mesh. If the particle size is too large, the volume is large, the shrinkage ratio is large after melting and pressing, and it is not conducive to forming; and if the particle size is too small, the heated particles are unstable and impurities are easily produced.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the molding temperature of polychlorotrifluoroethylene is 230~250 ℃, the molding pressure is 1~4 MPa, and the molding time is 15~90 min. If the temperature is too low, the melting will be uneven, resulting in defects.
[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a metal-fluoroplastic product prepared by any of the methods described above.
[0013] As one embodiment of the present invention, the metal-fluoroplastic product is a metal-fluoroplastic low-temperature sealing component.
[0014] Thirdly, the present invention provides an application of the above-mentioned metal-fluoroplastic product or metal-fluoroplastic cryogenic sealing component in the manufacture of aerospace valve products.
[0015] This invention employs an electrolytic method to treat the surface of a metal substrate, then fills the cavity of the treated metal substrate with polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PTFE), and finally thermoplastically molds it into a single metal-fluoroplastic sealing assembly. Compared with the prior art, this invention has the following advantages: (1) The key to the effective connection between polychlorotrifluoroethylene and metal is the effective interface bonding area. The roughness of the metal surface directly determines the interface bonding area. Traditional sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid electrolysis processes are difficult to obtain a large surface roughness, generally below 5 μm. This invention proposes a hydrochloric acid-sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid-sulfuric acid-phosphoric acid synergistic strategy. The introduction of hydrochloric acid significantly improves the surface roughness, thus improving the surface bonding force.
[0016] (2) Compared with sandblasting, the aluminum alloy surface after electrolytic treatment forms a multi-scale micro-nano structure. The multi-scale micro-nano structure is mainly characterized by: a certain roughness at the micron level, and nanopore structure in the micron-sized area. The anchoring effect of this multi-level structure is similar to that of tree roots, with many branch structures, which enhances the bonding force. Therefore, it not only increases the contact area between metal and fluoroplastic, but also has an "anchoring" effect, enhancing the bonding force between the two.
[0017] (3) Compared with sandblasting the metal surface first and then applying the primer, the primer is difficult to coat the surface of a substrate with complex geometry. However, the electrolytic treatment method in this invention does not depend on the geometry of the metal substrate, and the process has high reliability. Attached Figure Description
