Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal surface treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a high-performance nano-ceramic composite film layer on the surface of copper alloys. It is applicable to copper alloy components that require high insulation, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, and is especially suitable for electrical equipment components and copper alloy products used in marine environments. Background Technology

[0002] Copper alloys possess excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, wear resistance, and machinability, making them widely used in electronics, power, aerospace, and high-precision machining fields. Compared to other metals or alloys, copper alloys, by adding appropriate amounts of alloying elements such as beryllium, aluminum, and nickel, significantly improve the material's strength and hardness, resulting in excellent performance under high loads and frequent mechanical vibrations, and resistance to fatigue fracture. Simultaneously, copper alloys exhibit good hot working and machinability, maintaining high plasticity during hot forging and hot pressing, making them suitable for manufacturing demanding mechanical parts. Furthermore, copper alloys can be used to manufacture high-strength and fatigue-resistant precision components, such as springs, aerospace instrument parts, and high-speed cutting tools. Their high strength, toughness, and excellent wear resistance ensure long-term stable operation of these components under high loads and harsh working conditions. More importantly, in the electrical industry and electronic equipment fields, copper alloys are widely used to manufacture miniature sensors, precision connectors, and other components requiring high surface finish, providing reliable support for high-end equipment. They are also used to manufacture critical components such as high-reliability relay contacts, electrical switch springs, and connectors. Their excellent conductivity and wear resistance ensure that equipment maintains stable electrical performance and low contact resistance under long-term, high-frequency operation. However, under certain special conditions, such as in electrical equipment, some copper alloy components need to have insulation properties to prevent current leakage, short circuits, and other problems. Traditional insulation methods, such as coating with organic insulating varnishes, have drawbacks such as poor adhesion, insufficient wear resistance, and inadequate high-temperature resistance, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern industry for high-performance insulating coatings. Furthermore, when copper alloys are used in harsh environments such as the ocean, they are prone to chemical reactions with oxygen and water vapor in the humid marine environment, forming corrosion products such as verdigris, which affects the protective performance and service life of the copper alloy.

[0003] Current methods for addressing corrosion on copper alloy surfaces or providing localized insulation protection primarily involve coating with organic insulating paints. This paint application forms a protective film on the copper surface, preventing contact with oxygen and moisture, slowing oxidation, and preventing rust and corrosion, thus extending its service life. However, organic insulating coatings suffer from drawbacks such as poor adhesion, insufficient wear resistance, and inadequate high-temperature resistance, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern industry for high-performance corrosion-resistant and insulating coatings.

[0004] Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is a method for in-situ growth of ceramic films on metal surfaces. The resulting MAO films exhibit high hardness, good wear resistance, and excellent insulation properties. It is widely used on light alloys such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium because these alloys possess a passivation zone during the early stages of MAO, allowing the formation of a passivation film layer, which in turn leads to the formation of the MAO film layer. Therefore, these metals are conventionally referred to as "valve metals." Copper alloys, however, are non-valve metals and cannot form a chemically stable and insulating oxide film under specific conditions. Consequently, research on the preparation of locally insulating composite coatings using MAO on copper alloys is currently limited, and existing technologies face certain difficulties in achieving localized MAO and controlling coating performance.

[0005] The patent with publication number CN119101977A proposes a method for preparing a Co-Cu-P-Al2O3 nanocomposite coating with high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. The pulse electroplating system designed for carbon steel is not suitable for the high thermal conductivity and special electrochemical characteristics of copper alloys. When directly applied to the surface of copper alloys, the adhesion will drop sharply due to the imbalance of electrochemical potential difference between the substrate and the coating. In addition, the high concentration of cobalt salt in the electroplating solution is prone to displacement reaction on the surface of copper alloys, forming a loose precursor layer. This coating focuses on corrosion resistance and hardness, but does not consider the thermal conductivity that copper alloy components often need to consider. The introduction of cobalt and phosphorus elements in the coating will significantly reduce the thermal conductivity of the copper alloy substrate, which cannot meet the use requirements of electronic heat dissipation, heat exchange equipment and other scenarios. The patent with publication number CN110093604A proposes a method for preparing a high-performance conductive nano-ceramic metal cladding coating on a pure copper surface. Although the substrate is copper-based, it is only applicable to industrial pure copper. Copper alloys (such as Cr-Zr-Cu, H62 brass, etc.) have complex oxide film composition due to the presence of alloying elements. The sol-gel formulation and laser cladding parameters cannot overcome the obstacles of the alloy oxide film, and the coating is prone to interface peeling. Laser cladding requires a high power input of 2800-3200W. The high energy density can easily cause the formation of coarse intermetallic compounds between the copper alloy substrate and the coating, reducing the bonding strength.

[0006] Therefore, developing a surface strengthening method that is suitable for the properties of copper alloys, meets multiple performance requirements, and is process-friendly has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-performance nano-ceramic composite film on the surface of copper alloys. This method forms a plasma-electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite film on the surface of copper alloys, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of copper alloys in terms of insulation, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, and meeting the protective requirements of copper alloy products in harsh environments such as the ocean.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is: A method for preparing a high-performance nano-ceramic composite film on a copper alloy surface, wherein the film is an electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite film, and the electrolyte forming the electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film comprises the following components: sodium silicate 8-10 g / L, potassium hydroxide 2-5 g / L, sodium citrate 1-2 g / L, self-dispersing nano-insulating emulsion containing anionic electrolyte 5-10 ml / L, zirconium salt 2-4 g / L, highly insulating nanoparticles 2-5 g / L, organic additives 5-10 ml / L, and the remainder being water; the spraying liquid forming the organosilicon film comprises, by mass percentage, 75-85% organosilicon resin, 5-15% thinner, and 5-15% curing agent.

[0010] The method for preparing the high-performance composite nano-ceramic film on the surface of the copper alloy, wherein the silicone film coating liquid contains a high-temperature curing modified epoxy silicone resin, xylene as the thinner, and hydrogen-containing silicone oil as the curing agent.

[0011] The method for preparing the high-performance nano-ceramic composite film on the surface of the copper alloy described herein uses analytically pure components.

[0012] The method for preparing the high-performance nano-ceramic composite film on the surface of the copper alloy includes the following steps: Step 1, Copper alloy surface pretreatment: Clean the copper alloy by degreasing, and then polish it step by step with 240#, 600#, 1000# and 1200# wet sandpaper; Step 2, Electrolyte preparation: Highly insulating nanoparticles and zirconium salt are added to the basic electrolyte formed by sodium silicate, potassium hydroxide, sodium citrate and water. At the same time, a self-dispersible nano-insulating emulsion containing anionic electrolyte and organic additives are added. By stirring, the anionic electrolyte is adsorbed on the surface of the highly insulating nanoparticles to form anionic groups, while preventing stratification. Step 3, Electrochemical nano-ceramic oxidation: The pretreated copper alloy is used as the anode and the graphite plate is used as the cathode. It is placed in the electrolyte prepared in step (2) and the copper alloy is electrochemically oxidized by spark discharge using a high voltage pulse method to form a high-performance electrochemical nano-ceramic film on the surface of the copper alloy. Step 4, Composite Organosilicon Film Layer: Spray an organosilicon film layer coating solution onto the surface of the copper alloy electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film layer, and dry it to form an electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite film layer.

[0013] In the method for preparing the high-performance nano-ceramic composite film on the copper alloy surface, step 3 involves an electrolyte temperature of 20–50°C and specific high-voltage pulse conditions of: pulse frequency of 200–500 Hz, pulse voltage of 500–750 V, and current density of 2–8 A / dm³. 2 Oxidation time: 20–60 min.

[0014] In the method for preparing the high-performance composite nano-ceramic film on the surface of the copper alloy, in step 4, before spraying the silicone film onto the surface of the electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film, the copper alloy electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film is first subjected to an etching treatment. The specific etching conditions are as follows: the copper alloy electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film is etched in hydrofluoric acid with a mass concentration of 5-10% at room temperature for 2-5 seconds, then immediately rinsed with clean water for 1-2 minutes, and then rinsed with deionized water for 1-2 minutes.

[0015] In the preparation method of the high-performance composite nano-ceramic film on the surface of the copper alloy, the specific conditions for spraying in step 4 are: spraying temperature 20-35℃, spraying pressure 1.5-2.5 MPa, spraying distance 20-50 mm, and drying conditions after spraying are: drying temperature 100-120℃, drying time 20-40 min.

[0016] In the method for preparing the high-performance composite film of nano-ceramics on the surface of copper alloy, in step 4, the total thickness of the high-performance composite film of copper alloy nano-ceramics-organosilicon is 80-100 μm; wherein, the thickness of the electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance film is 20-40 μm, and the thickness of the organosilicon film is 50-80 μm.

[0017] The design concept of this invention is: In existing technologies, the adhesion between the copper alloy surface and the ceramic film is low and easily peeled off. Strengthening processes result in poor performance of the copper alloy substrate, and the film cannot simultaneously achieve high hardness, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity of the substrate. Traditional micro-arc oxidation technology is only suitable for valve metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium; copper alloys cannot form a stable insulating oxide film. Organic insulating varnishes suffer from poor adhesion and insufficient wear and high-temperature resistance. In this invention, the high-performance composite film layer on the copper alloy surface consists of a nano-ceramic oxide film at the bottom layer. A base electrolyte is prepared using sodium silicate and potassium hydroxide, with the addition of highly insulating nanoparticles (such as alumina, silicon carbide, and titanium dioxide), zirconium salt, and polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion. High-voltage pulsed discharge oxidation is used to grow the nano-ceramic film in situ on the copper alloy surface. The anionic electrolyte adsorption prevents particle delamination, endowing the coating with basic insulation, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The upper layer is an organosilicon film, made of high-temperature cured modified epoxy organosilicon resin, combined with xylene thinner and hydrogen-containing silicone oil curing agent. This is sprayed onto the surface of the nano-ceramic film and dried at low temperature to further enhance insulation performance and coating adhesion, while also improving high-temperature resistance and weather resistance. A step-by-step grinding pretreatment enhances the surface activity of the substrate, and the electrochemical oxidation parameters (20–50℃, 200–500Hz pulse frequency) are controlled to suit the electrochemical response of copper alloys. Short-term hydrofluoric acid etching optimizes the surface roughness of the ceramic film, ensuring a tight bond between the two film layers.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves insulation, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of copper alloy substrates by preparing electrochemical nano-ceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite films on copper alloy surfaces. Through the synergistic effect of pretreatment, electrochemical in-situ growth, and etching treatment, the nano-ceramic film and the copper alloy substrate, as well as the organosilicon film and the nano-ceramic film, form a tight bond without peeling or flaking, thus solving the defect of poor adhesion of traditional organic coatings.

[0019] This invention first adds highly insulating nanoparticles and anionic electrolyte to an electrochemical nanoceramic high-performance electrolyte. Through stirring, the anionic electrolyte is adsorbed onto the surface of the nanoparticles to form anionic groups. Then, a copper alloy is placed in the electrochemical nanoceramic high-performance electrolyte as the anode, and a graphite plate as the cathode. Electrochemical nanoceramic spark discharge oxidation is performed on the copper alloy using a high-voltage pulse method, forming a high-performance nanoceramic oxide film on the copper alloy surface. Finally, the copper alloy nanoceramic oxide film is composite-treated with an organosilicon spray solution to form a plasma-electrochemical nanoceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite film. The electrochemical nanoceramic high-performance-organosilicon composite film prepared on the copper alloy surface by this invention has the advantages of high insulation, high corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance, meeting the high-strength protective requirements of copper alloys in harsh marine environments.

[0020] 3. This invention is applicable to copper alloys such as brass, H62, H68, and HPb-59-1. The process is mild and has a wide range of applications. The electrochemical oxidation temperature is 20-50℃ and the drying temperature is 100-120℃, which avoids affecting the properties of the copper alloy matrix and can meet the needs of multiple fields such as electronics, power, and marine engineering.
