Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite plates, and more particularly to a copper-aluminum composite plate prepared by continuous casting from molten aluminum and a process for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Copper and aluminum are important non-ferrous metals, with copper having good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance, and aluminum having good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Comparing copper and aluminum, copper resources are scarce, while aluminum resources are relatively abundant. Furthermore, aluminum has a low specific gravity and is inexpensive. Aluminum-copper composite metal strip is a bimetal in which aluminum is used as the outer layer of the matrix and copper is clad. It is a new conductor and decorative material that combines the high-quality electrical conductivity and low-cost resources of aluminum with the high chemical stability and low contact resistance of copper. Aluminum-copper composite metal strip combines the advantages of copper and aluminum. The use of aluminum-copper composite metal strip instead of copper strip is widely applied in high-tech fields such as the military industry, aerospace, electronic computers, electronic devices, etc., as well as in the power, high- and low-voltage electrical appliance, automation, and building industries, and is currently a focus of research on metallic materials.
[0003] The international standard composite strength of aluminum-copper composite materials is 12 kgf / cm or more, and the composite strength requirement for aluminum-copper composite materials in existing lithium batteries is 15 kgf / cm or more. With the continuous advancement of new energy technology, lithium batteries, as the core energy storage equipment of new energy, and aluminum-copper composite materials as the core component materials of lithium batteries, lithium battery manufacturers have higher requirements for the strength of aluminum-copper composite materials.
[0004] Currently, the methods for producing aluminum-copper composite strip mainly include solid-solid composite methods such as rolling composite, explosive composite, extrusion-pultrusion composite, and diffusion welding composite, and liquid-solid composite methods such as core-fill continuous casting and dual crystallizer continuous casting. Solid-solid composite processes are typically outdated, suffer from low yields and unstable quality, and are not suitable for continuous large-scale production. Therefore, liquid-solid composite methods have become a focus of research. However, when the liquid-solid composite method directly combines molten aluminum with copper plate, a thick bonding interface layer is formed. The thicker the bonding interface layer, the more intermetallic compounds there are, and the lower the strength of the composite strip. Therefore, the thicker the bonding interface layer formed when directly combining molten aluminum with copper plate, the lower the strength of the composite plate, and the lower the strength of the composite plate, which cannot meet the requirements for use.
[0005] Chinese invention patent CN101758071B discloses a method for producing aluminum-copper composite metal strip, which uses an oxygen-free continuous casting and rolling method to prepare the aluminum-copper composite strip. This method requires online polishing until there is no oxide layer before bonding the copper and aluminum, which makes the process relatively complicated and the bonding strength of the copper and aluminum is relatively low (about 100 MPa). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] The present invention further provides that the copper-aluminum composite plate prepared by continuous casting of the above-mentioned molten aluminum is used to prepare poles of new energy batteries. [Effects of the Invention]
[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0018] If the wettability between the metal matrix is poor, interface defects such as interfacial voids and cracks will occur between the metal matrix during the preparation process, and brittle phase compounds will form at the interface, reducing the bonding strength between the metals and thereby affecting the use performance of the alloy material.
[0019] In this invention, Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets are prepared by first preparing silicon dioxide nano-hollow microspheres by emulsion method, crushing them under the action of ball mill to form nanosheets, and then modifying the surface with a silane coupling agent having an amino group, which is then added to an organic solvent and an aqueous solution. The modified silicon dioxide nanosheets are dispersed at the oil-water interface, aluminum isopropoxide is dissolved in the organic solvent, and copper salt is dissolved in water. Under the action of the amino groups on the modified silicon dioxide nanosheets, aluminum isopropoxide is dissolved in the organic solvent, and copper salt is dissolved in water. The isopropoxide adheres to the surface of the nanosheet, and under the catalytic action of a small amount of water, a sol-gel reaction occurs, thereby forming aluminum oxide and fixing it to the oil layer side of the nanosheet. At the same time, under the complex action of the amino group, copper ions are fixed to the amino group on the water layer side of the nanosheet. After adding citric acid, a gel is formed. The nanosheet is separated and then calcined to prepare copper oxide@SiO2@aluminum oxide nanosheets. After magnesium thermal reduction and hydrogen gas reduction, Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets are prepared.
[0020] In the present invention, by adding Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets to molten aluminum, the nanosheets are automatically liberated at the aluminum-copper metal interface, and the aluminum metal-bearing layer on the nanosheets penetrates into the aluminum metal layer, and the copper metal-bearing layer penetrates into the copper metal layer. After rolling, the thickness of the interface layer is greatly reduced, and the voids and gas gaps at the interface are also reduced, thereby improving the bonding strength and composite strength and strengthening the mechanical properties of the prepared composite plate.
[0021] In this invention, a copper strip is textured to roughen its interface and increase the interfacial bonding strength. Then, a layer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid solution is coated on the surface. Because 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid contains thio and carboxyl groups in its molecular structure, it has good interfacial activity and forms an organic-inorganic composite layer through an in-situ reaction, improving the wettability and dispersibility of the metal interface. This significantly improves the wettability and composite properties between the copper matrix and the aluminum matrix, and enhances the interfacial bonding strength between the two.
[0022] The copper-aluminum composite plate material prepared by continuous casting of molten aluminum according to the present invention can be used to prepare pole posts of new energy batteries. The process of continuous casting and multiple rolling improves the wettability of the aluminum-copper metal interface, and the prepared composite plate material has high bonding strength, small interfacial thickness, high composite strength, good mechanical properties, a simple preparation method, low cost, high efficiency, and wide applicability.
