Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper channel wire technology, and in particular to a method for preparing corrosion-resistant and high thermal conductivity copper channel wire. Background Technology
[0002] Copper and copper alloys are widely used in various industrial fields due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Among them, copper channel wire, as a type of copper material with a specific channel structure, is indispensable in products such as superconducting wires, power equipment, and bathroom radiators because it can adapt to special requirements such as wire embedding and heat conduction. However, in practical engineering applications, the traditional manufacturing process of copper channel wire often has many defects, which prevents its thermal conductivity from being fully utilized and its corrosion resistance from being sufficient, seriously affecting its service life.
[0003] To improve the corrosion resistance of copper cable trays, existing technologies often employ surface coating methods such as electroplating and electroless plating. While these methods can improve surface corrosion resistance to some extent, the adhesion between the coating and the copper substrate is weak, leading to problems such as peeling and cracking during long-term use. This not only results in the loss of corrosion resistance but also causes the detached coating to contaminate the service environment and affect the stability of equipment operation. Furthermore, the poor thermal conductivity of the coating itself significantly reduces the overall thermal efficiency of the copper cable tray, contradicting the requirement for high thermal conductivity. In addition, some technologies improve corrosion resistance by adding alloying elements; however, improper selection of the type and amount of alloying elements often leads to a significant decrease in the thermal conductivity of the copper cable tray, failing to achieve a synergistic improvement in both corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity. Moreover, existing methods for preparing copper cable trays mainly include extrusion, drawing, and rolling. These methods struggle to balance corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, failing to meet the requirements of some special operating conditions.
[0004] Therefore, developing a method for preparing copper channel wires that can achieve a synergistic improvement in corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity, and whose preparation process is stable and controllable, has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0048] To further illustrate the unexpected positive technical effects achieved by the corrosion-resistant, high thermal conductivity copper trench wires manufactured in the embodiments of the present invention, relevant performance tests were conducted on the corrosion-resistant, high thermal conductivity copper trench wires of Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-5. The test results are shown in Table 1, and the test methods are as follows: (1) Thermal conductivity test: The test was conducted in accordance with the national standard GB / T 22588-2008 "Measuring thermal diffusivity or thermal conductivity by flash method". The sample was cut into a circular piece with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, and the surface was polished to a smooth finish. The sample was placed in a laser flash thermal conductivity meter, the test temperature was set to 25℃, and nitrogen protection was used. Each sample was tested 3 times, and the average value was taken as the final thermal conductivity, in W / (m·K). (2) Corrosion resistance test: Neutral salt spray test (5% NaCl solution, 35℃, continuous spraying for 1300 hours, spray volume 2mL / 80 (cm)) was conducted in accordance with GB / T 10125-2021. 2 •h), observe the corrosion on the sample surface.
[0049] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, Example 5 of the present invention adopts a three-stage stepped alloy ratio of high-purity copper in the core, transition layer, and surface layer, laser etching of a through-mesh micro-thermal conductive channel in the core, and a synergistic process of plasma bombardment and low-temperature oxidation modification. Under a 1300-hour neutral salt spray test, the surface showed no rust or pitting corrosion, and the thermal conductivity reached 401.2 W / (m·K), demonstrating the best overall performance. Comparative Examples 1 and 2, due to the lack of the synergistic effect of Ir and Os compounding, both experienced a simultaneous decline in corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. Comparative Example 3, lacking microstructured thermal conductive channels, resulted in a significant decrease in thermal conductivity, but the decrease in corrosion resistance was relatively small. Comparative Example 4, omitting plasma and low-temperature oxidation treatment, showed a significant deterioration in corrosion resistance. Comparative Example 5, by eliminating the component gradient design and having the same formulation for the transition layer and surface layer, exhibited uniform slight pitting corrosion, and the interface stress concentration resulted in a thermal conductivity lower than that of Example 5. This fully demonstrates that the gradient component ratio, Ir-Os compounding, microstructured thermal conductive channels, and plasma surface modification are key to achieving both high thermal conductivity and strong corrosion resistance in copper trench lines.
