Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper alloy technology, specifically to a high-hardness, corrosion-resistant copper alloy material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Copper alloy materials refer to alloys made of pure copper as the base material and with the addition of one or more other elements. They are mainly produced through processes such as smelting, casting, heat treatment and powder metallurgy. They are widely used in industries such as microelectronics, transportation, metallurgy and electromechanical manufacturing. As the application industries become more and more extensive, the performance requirements for copper alloy materials are also increasing.

[0003] Patent CN110747371A discloses a high-conductivity, high-strength, and high-hardness copper alloy and its preparation method. By adding elements such as Be, Cr, and Ni to the copper matrix, the conductivity of the copper alloy is improved. Furthermore, by optimizing the process flow, the mechanical properties of the copper alloy are improved. However, the corrosion resistance of the copper alloy is not improved.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the overall performance of copper alloys and extend their service life, we propose a high-hardness, corrosion-resistant copper alloy material and its preparation method. By optimizing the preparation process of the copper alloy and coating the surface with a corrosion-resistant coating, we achieve the goal of improving the hardness and corrosion resistance of the copper alloy material. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-hardness, corrosion-resistant copper alloy material and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-hardness anti-corrosion copper alloy material, comprising a copper alloy substrate and an anti-corrosion coating applied to the surface of the copper alloy substrate; The copper alloy matrix comprises the following components by mass percentage: 0.08-0.12% chromium, 1.0-2.0% titanium, 2.5-3.5% nickel, 0.01-0.15% yttrium, 0.12-0.20% cerium, 0.25-0.35% cobalt, with the remainder being copper; The anti-corrosion coating is obtained by applying an anti-corrosion paint and then curing it with ultraviolet radiation. The anti-corrosion coating comprises the following components by weight: 80-100 parts of hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin, 30-50 parts of end-thiol curing agent, 0.5-1.5 parts of initiator, and 1-2 parts of defoamer.

[0007] Furthermore, the defoamer is one or a mixture of BYK-052N, BYK-1790, and BYK-017; The initiator is one or a mixture of two of photoinitiator 1173 and photoinitiator 184.

[0008] A method for preparing a high-hardness, corrosion-resistant copper alloy material includes the following steps: Step 1: Take raw materials, mix them, and load them into the furnace. Then, proceed with melting, casting, homogenization, solution treatment, hot working, cooling, cold working, and aging treatment in sequence to obtain a copper alloy matrix. Step 2: Mix hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin, end-thiol curing agent, initiator, and defoamer, stir evenly to form an anti-corrosion coating, apply it to the surface of copper alloy substrate, and irradiate with ultraviolet light to form an anti-corrosion coating, thus obtaining a high-hardness anti-corrosion copper alloy material.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 1, the smelting process conditions are: heating at 8~10℃ / min to 1000~1200℃; Increase the temperature by 3~5℃ / min to 1200~1400℃ and hold for 0.5~1.0h.

[0010] Furthermore, in step 1, the homogenization process conditions are: temperature 830~880℃, time 2~6h; In step 1, the solution treatment conditions are: temperature 930~960℃, time 1~3h.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 1, the process conditions for hot working are: temperature 900~950℃, time 1~3h; In step 1, the cooling process conditions are: 25~30℃ / min to 300~350℃.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 1, the deformation during cold working is 45-65%; In step 1, the aging treatment process conditions are as follows: keep at 450~500℃ for 3~5 hours, cool to room temperature, and then keep at 420~460℃ for 1~3 hours.

[0013] Furthermore, the copper alloy substrate underwent pretreatment before being coated with the anti-corrosion coating. The specific process is as follows: Take a copper alloy substrate, immerse it in a 25-35% hydrochloric acid solution for 35-45 seconds, then wash it with deionized water and dry it at 40-50℃ for 30-50 minutes.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2, the ultraviolet irradiation process conditions are: irradiation intensity 100~300mW / cm². 2 Irradiation time: 10-30 seconds.

[0015] Furthermore, in step 2, the thickness of the anti-corrosion coating is 50~100μm.

[0016] In the above technical solutions, chromium can be dissolved into the copper matrix through high-temperature solution treatment. After cooling and aging treatment, chromium will precipitate in the form of particles, effectively hindering dislocation movement and significantly improving the strength and hardness of the copper alloy. Titanium and chromium work together to form a precipitate phase, further enhancing the hardness of the copper alloy. Nickel can dissolve in copper in large quantities to form a continuous solid solution. Through the size difference between nickel atoms and copper atoms, a solid solution strengthening effect is generated, improving the strength of the copper alloy. Yttrium and cerium are rare earth elements with high chemical activity, which can inhibit grain growth and significantly refine the recrystallized grains. Cobalt can also dissolve in the copper matrix and work synergistically with nickel to further improve the high-temperature hardness of the alloy. Homogenization treatment, through prolonged high-temperature annealing, allows alloying elements to diffuse uniformly, ensuring that strengthening elements (chromium and titanium) can dissolve uniformly into the copper matrix during subsequent solid solution treatment. This prevents cracks from forming due to localized stress concentration during subsequent hot working processes. The aging treatment is carried out in two temperature ranges: at high temperature (450~500℃), atomic diffusion is strong, which is conducive to the uniform formation of a large number of fine nuclei in the copper matrix; at low temperature (420~460℃), atomic diffusion is moderate, which allows the fine nuclei formed at high temperature to grow slowly and stably, obtaining a structurally stable strengthening phase, which is beneficial to improving the hardness and strength of the copper matrix.

[0017] Furthermore, the hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin is prepared by the following process: S1: Mix pyromellitic acid, itaconic acid, isobutanol, and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, heat to react, wash, and dry to obtain a carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester. S2: Mix carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester, epoxy resin, and triphenylphosphine, and heat to react to obtain hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin.

[0018] Furthermore, in S1, the ratio of pyromellitic acid, itaconic acid, isobutanol, and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether is 10g: (3~5)g: (130~150)mL: (20~30)g.

[0019] Furthermore, in S1, the process conditions for the heating reaction are: temperature 105~115℃, time 20~24h; In S1, the drying process conditions are: temperature 70~80℃, time 3~5h.

[0020] Furthermore, in S2, the mass ratio of carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester, epoxy resin, and triphenylphosphine is 1:(15~20):(0.15~0.25).

[0021] Furthermore, in S2, the process conditions for the heating reaction are: temperature 110~120℃, time 1~3h.

[0022] In the above technical solution, pyromellitic acid provides multiple carboxyl branching sites, and itaconic acid provides double bonds and carboxyl groups. The carboxyl groups of both react with the epoxy groups of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether to undergo ring-opening reactions, and can also react with the hydroxyl groups of isobutanol to undergo esterification reactions, forming a highly branched end-carboxyl hyperbranched polyester. The end-carboxyl groups on it then react with epoxy resin to undergo another ring-opening reaction, resulting in a hyperbranched double-bond modified epoxy resin. The hyperbranched structure reduces intermolecular chain entanglement, resulting in better leveling and film-forming properties, forming a continuous, non-porous coating on the surface of the copper alloy substrate. Moreover, the hyperbranched structure is more regular than the linear structure, and can form a coating with higher crosslinking density and better protective effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the preparation process of the terminal thiol curing agent is as follows: Step A: Mix 4-fluorocatechol and acetone, stir to dissolve, add allyl glycidyl ether and KOH aqueous solution, heat to react, filter, wash and dry to obtain a compound containing double bonds; Step B: Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid) ester, a compound containing double bonds, ethyl acetate, and triethylamine are mixed and heated and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture is then rotary evaporated to obtain a mercapto-terminated curing agent.

[0024] Furthermore, in step A, the mass ratio of 4-fluorocatechol, acetone, allyl glycidyl ether, and KOH aqueous solution is 10:(50~70):(25~35):(18~22). The mass fraction of the KOH aqueous solution is 20-25%.

[0025] Furthermore, in step A, the process conditions for the heating reaction are: temperature 75~85℃, time 1.0~1.5h.

[0026] Furthermore, in step A, the drying process conditions are: temperature 55~60℃, time 10~12h.

[0027] Furthermore, in step B, the ratio of pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid), the compound containing double bonds, ethyl acetate, and triethylamine is (45~50) g ​​: (10~15) g : (60~70) mL : (0.13~0.18) g.

[0028] Furthermore, in step B, the process conditions for heating and stirring the reaction are: temperature 75~85℃, time 11~13h, and rotation speed 350~450r / min.

[0029] Furthermore, in step B, the rotary evaporation process conditions are: temperature 35~45℃, vacuum degree -0.08~-0.09MPa, and time 10~15min.

[0030] In the above technical solution, firstly, under alkaline conditions (KOH aqueous solution), the phenolic hydroxyl group of 4-fluorocatechol undergoes ring-opening with the epoxy group of allyl glycidyl ether to obtain a compound containing ether bonds and fluorine. Then, the thiol group of pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid) reacts with the double bond of the compound containing double bonds. Triethylamine acts as a weak alkaline catalyst to promote the reaction. Since pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionic acid) contains multiple thiol groups and is used in excess, a thiol-terminated curing agent is obtained. After being mixed with hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin, a thiol-olefin click reaction occurs under ultraviolet irradiation to achieve rapid curing and avoid coating cracking. In addition, the terminal thiol curing agent also has a branched structure, which has good compatibility with hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin. It is not easy to volatilize and separate into phases. During the reaction, it can form a more uniform and dense three-dimensional network. At the same time, the molecular structure contains ether bonds, which reduces the excessive brittleness during crosslinking. The fluorine atoms are hydrophobic and oleophobic, which has certain anti-corrosion properties, further improving the performance of the anti-corrosion coating.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this application, copper is blended with chromium, titanium, nickel, yttrium, cerium, and cobalt to prepare a copper alloy matrix. Rare earth elements (yttrium and cerium) can inhibit grain growth, significantly refine the recrystallized grains, and greatly improve the strength and hardness of the copper alloy. Homogenization treatment can make the alloying elements diffuse evenly, avoiding cracks caused by local stress concentration during hot working. The aging treatment is carried out in two temperature ranges. At high temperature (450~500℃), the atomic diffusion ability is strong, which is conducive to the uniform formation of a large number of fine nuclei in the copper matrix. At low temperature (420~460℃), the atomic diffusion ability is moderate, which allows the fine nuclei formed at high temperature to grow slowly and stably, obtaining a structurally stable strengthening phase, which is beneficial to improving the hardness and strength of the copper matrix.

[0032] 2. In this application, hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin is prepared through two epoxy ring-opening reactions. Compared with ordinary epoxy resin, it has better leveling and film-forming properties, more regular structure, and can form a coating with higher crosslinking density and better protective effect. In addition, the introduction of double bonds facilitates subsequent reactions.

[0033] 3. In this application, a terminal thiol curing agent with a branched structure is synthesized by reacting phenolic hydroxyl groups with epoxy groups and thiol groups with double bonds. It has good compatibility with hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin. At the same time, the presence of ether bonds in the molecular structure reduces excessive brittleness during crosslinking. The fluorine atoms are hydrophobic and oleophobic, providing certain anti-corrosion properties. After being mixed with hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin, a thiol-alkene click reaction occurs under ultraviolet irradiation, achieving rapid curing, avoiding coating cracking, and fully exerting the anti-corrosion effect.

All other conditions remained the same as in Example 1.

[0043] Comparative Example 5: Compared with Example 1, the hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin was replaced with an equal mass of epoxy resin, the terminal mercapto curing agent was replaced with an equal mass of ethylenediamine, no initiator was added, and the curing process was set as follows: temperature 80°C, time 4h, and other conditions remained unchanged, the same as in Example 1.

[0044] Comparative Example 6: Compared with Example 1, no anti-corrosion coating was applied to the surface of the copper alloy substrate, and all other conditions remained the same as in Example 1.

[0045] Experiment: The high-hardness, corrosion-resistant copper alloy materials obtained in the examples and comparative examples were tested for various properties, as detailed below: Hardness test: The Rockwell hardness of the products of the examples and comparative examples was tested according to GB / T 230.1-2018; Tensile strength test: Refer to GB / T 228.1-2021 for the tensile strength of the test examples and comparative products; Salt spray resistance test: The salt spray resistance of the examples and comparative products was tested according to ASTM B117; Based on the data in the table above, the following conclusions can be drawn: Compared with Example 1, the coatings of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 showed slight cracking, but no corrosion was observed on the surface of the copper alloy substrate. It can be seen that the use of raw materials with branched structures in this application can promote the formation of coatings with higher crosslinking density and better protective effect. Compared with Example 1, the coating in Comparative Example 4 cracked and slight corrosion appeared on the surface of the copper alloy substrate, indicating that the coating composition in this application can promote the improvement of the anti-corrosion coating performance through the synergistic effect between the components. Compared with Example 1, the coating in Comparative Example 5 cracked and multiple corrosions appeared on the surface of the copper alloy substrate, indicating that the hyperbranched double bond modified epoxy resin and end-thiol curing agent prepared in this application have better anti-corrosion performance than ordinary epoxy resin and amine curing agent. Compared with Example 1, the copper alloy substrate surface in Comparative Example 6 showed corrosion in multiple places, indicating that the anti-corrosion coating in this application can promote the improvement of the anti-corrosion performance of the prepared copper alloy material.
