[0002] Gradient aluminum foam sandwich panels are a new type of composite material that integrates structure and function. Its core is a layered structure of panel-core-panel, which is composed of a high-density pure aluminum / aluminum alloy panel and a gradient aluminum foam core layer with continuous / stepped changes in porosity, pore size or composition along the thickness direction, through processes such as welding and adhesive bonding. It achieves lightweight by virtue of the high porosity of the core layer, and also has high specific strength, high efficiency in energy absorption, optimized sound insulation and excellent electromagnetic shielding by relying on the synergistic effect of the panel and the gradient core layer.
[0003] In existing technologies, firstly, the performance of the foaming agent is poor, and the uniformity of the foam aluminum pores and the controllability of the gradient structure are poor, resulting in low energy absorption efficiency and insufficient structural stability during ice impact resistance; secondly, the pretreatment of the bonding surface between the panel and the foam aluminum core layer is insufficient, and the performance of the adhesive is inadequate, resulting in weak bonding force between the two and easy delamination under ice impact; thirdly, the anti-corrosion measures are lacking. In humid and corrosive environments containing ice, metals are easily corroded, which shortens the service life of the sandwich panel and weakens its structural performance against ice impact.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a gradient foamed aluminum sandwich panel resistant to ice impact and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0015] A method for preparing an ice-impact resistant gradient aluminum foam sandwich panel includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of gradient aluminum foam core preform: After the three layers of ingredients are mixed evenly, they are laid in layers in a steel mold. After each layer is laid, it is pre-pressed with a pressure of 5-8 MPa for 10-15 min. The mold is then sent into a sintering furnace, argon gas is introduced, and the temperature is raised to 700-750℃ at a rate of 5-8℃ / min. The temperature is held for 2-4 h for foaming and sintering. Then, it is cooled to below 200℃ at a rate of 3-5℃ / min and removed to obtain the gradient aluminum foam blank. S2. Surface pretreatment: Use an acetone solution at 20-25℃ to ultrasonically clean the mating surfaces of the upper and lower panels for 15-20 minutes to remove surface oil stains. Then, use 80-120 mesh white corundum sand to sandblast the mating surfaces to achieve a surface roughness of 3.2-6.2μm. Finally, immerse the upper and lower panels in a 5-8% (w / w) dilute sulfuric acid solution for 5-8 minutes, wash with water until the pH reaches 6-7, and dry at 80-100℃. Use the same steps to pretreat the upper and lower mating surfaces of the gradient foam aluminum blank. S3. Composite connection: The pretreated upper panel, gradient aluminum foam blank and lower panel are stacked in sequence in a hot press. Epoxy modified acrylic adhesive is applied to the bonding surface. A pressure of 0.1-0.3MPa is applied, argon gas is introduced and the temperature is raised to 50-60℃. The temperature is maintained for 90-120 minutes to complete the curing. S4. Anti-corrosion treatment: After the composite structure is cooled to room temperature in the furnace, the shape is trimmed by milling. The trimmed structure is then immersed in potassium dichromate solution at 25-35℃ for 10-15 minutes to form a passivation film. After being taken out and dried, a modified polyvinyl fluoride coating material is sprayed on and cured at 100-120℃ for 40-60 minutes to finally obtain an ice-impact resistant gradient aluminum foam sandwich panel.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention employs a modified titanium hydride foaming agent, precisely controlling the hydrogen release behavior of titanium hydride through a silica coating layer, thereby forming a high-density-low-density-high-density gradient pore structure in the aluminum foam core layer. This gradient structure works synergistically with the Q690 high-strength steel, 6061 aluminum alloy, or TC4 titanium alloy panel, enabling the low-density layer to efficiently absorb energy and the high-density layer to provide stable support during ice impact, significantly improving the sandwich panel's impact load resistance and energy absorption efficiency. At the same time, it provides a uniform and suitable core layer surface for the bonding of epoxy-modified acrylate adhesive.
[0017] 2. This invention uses an epoxy-modified acrylate adhesive. The synergistic modification of epoxy resin and acrylate gives the adhesive both high strength and high toughness. With the help of KH-550 coupling agent, triethylamine catalyst and other components, it works synergistically with the surfaces of the metal panel and the aluminum foam core layer, which have been cleaned with acetone, roughened by sandblasting and activated with dilute sulfuric acid, to greatly enhance the interfacial bonding strength. This ensures that the load is effectively transferred between the panel and the core layer during ice impact, avoids interface debonding, and the toughness of the adhesive can buffer impact stress, which complements the energy absorption characteristics of the gradient aluminum foam.
[0018] 3. This invention employs a modified polyvinyl fluoride coating material. The nano-zinc oxide modified with KH-550 works synergistically with polyvinyl fluoride resin to improve the coating's density and corrosion resistance, while also enhancing its adhesion to the potassium dichromate passivation film. The potassium dichromate inorganic passivation film and the modified polyvinyl fluoride organic coating work together to construct an inorganic-organic gradient anti-corrosion barrier, effectively resisting corrosion in complex environments. At the same time, the coating's impact toughness, along with the performance of the gradient aluminum foam core layer and the epoxy-modified acrylate adhesive, synergistically ensure the stability of the sandwich panel's anti-ice impact performance during long-term service.
