Description

Copper-aluminum composite sheet prepared by continuous casting of aluminum liquid and process thereof Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite plates, and in particular to a copper-aluminum composite plate material prepared by continuous casting of molten aluminum and a process thereof. Background technology:

[0002] Copper and aluminum are important nonferrous metals. Copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as corrosion resistance, while aluminum has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Compared to aluminum, copper is in short supply, while aluminum is more abundant, has a low specific gravity, and is inexpensive. Aluminum-copper composite sheet metal strip is a bimetallic material with an aluminum base and copper cladding. It combines the high electrical conductivity and low resource cost of aluminum with the high chemical stability and low contact resistance of copper, creating a new type of conductor and decorative material. Aluminum-copper composite sheet metal strip combines the advantages of both copper and aluminum. Using aluminum-copper composite sheet metal strip as a replacement for copper sheet metal is widely used in high-tech fields such as military, aerospace, computers, and electronic devices, as well as in the power, high- and low-voltage electrical equipment, automation, and construction industries, and is a current research hotspot in metal materials.

[0003] The international standard stipulates that the composite strength of copper-aluminum composite materials is ≥12kgf / cm. The existing lithium battery composite strength requirement for copper-aluminum composite materials is ≥15kgf / cm. With the continuous development of new energy technology, lithium batteries are the core energy storage devices in new energy, and copper-aluminum composite materials are the core component materials of lithium batteries. Therefore, lithium battery manufacturers have put forward higher requirements for the strength of copper-aluminum composite materials.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for producing copper-aluminum composite plates and strips include solid-solid composite methods such as rolling composite, explosive composite, extrusion-drawing composite, and diffusion welding composite, and liquid-solid composite methods such as core filling continuous casting and dual-mold continuous casting. Solid-solid composite methods are generally backward, with low yields and unstable quality, making them unsuitable for continuous large-scale production. Therefore, liquid-solid composite methods have become a research focus. However, liquid-solid composite methods directly combine molten aluminum with copper plates, resulting in a very thick bonding interface layer. The thicker the bonding interface layer, the more intermetallic compounds there are, and the lower the strength of the composite plate and strip. Therefore, directly combining molten aluminum with copper plates results in a thicker bonding interface layer, resulting in a lower strength composite plate that cannot meet the requirements of use.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN101758071B discloses a method for producing aluminum-copper composite metal strips using oxygen-free continuous casting and rolling. This method requires in-line polishing to remove the oxide layer before bonding the copper and aluminum. This process is complex and results in a relatively low bond strength of approximately 100 MPa. Summary of the invention:

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a copper-aluminum composite sheet prepared by continuous casting of aluminum liquid and a process thereof, which can be used to prepare poles of new energy batteries. Through the process of continuous casting and multiple rolling, the wettability of the interface between aluminum and copper metals is improved. The prepared composite sheet has high bonding strength, small interface thickness, high composite strength, good mechanical properties, simple preparation method, low cost, high efficiency, and broad application prospects.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of the modified SiO2 nanosheets, aluminum isopropoxide, copper salt, and citric acid in step T4 is 50:12-15:7-12:3-5, the standing reaction time is 30-50 min, the calcination temperature is 500-700°C, and the time is 1-3 h.

[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, after the cleaning treatment in step S3, a layer of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solution of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid is coated on the surface with a concentration of 7-12 wt%.

[0027] The present invention further protects a copper-aluminum composite sheet prepared by continuous casting of aluminum liquid obtained by the above-mentioned preparation process.

[0028] The present invention further protects the use of the above-mentioned copper-aluminum composite sheet prepared by continuous casting of molten aluminum in the preparation of new energy battery poles.

[0029] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] When the wettability between metal matrices is poor, interface defects such as interface pores and cracks will be generated between the metal matrices during the preparation process, which will lead to the formation of brittle phase compounds at the interface, reducing the bonding strength between the metals and thus affecting the performance of the alloy material.

[0031] The present invention prepares Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets. First, hollow silica nanospheres are prepared by an emulsion method. Under the action of ball milling, the nanosheets are broken to form nanosheets. Then, the surface of the nanosheets is modified by a silane coupling agent with an amino group. The nanosheets are added into an organic solvent and an aqueous solution. The modified silica nanosheets are dispersed at the oil-water interface. Aluminum isopropoxide is dissolved in the organic solvent, and a copper salt is dissolved in water. Under the action of the amino groups on the modified silica nanosheets, the aluminum isopropoxide adheres to the surface of the nanosheets. Under the catalytic action of a small amount of water, a sol-gel reaction occurs, thereby forming aluminum oxide fixed on the side of the nanosheets close to the oil layer. At the same time, copper ions are fixed on the amino groups on the side of the nanosheets close to the water layer under the complexation action of the amino groups. Citric acid is further added to form a gel. The nanosheets are separated and calcined to obtain copper oxide@SiO2@alumina nanosheets. After magnesium thermal reduction and hydrogen reduction, the Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets are obtained.

[0032] The present invention adds Cu@Si@Al Janus nanosheets to aluminum liquid, which automatically migrate to the aluminum-copper metal interface. The layer of aluminum on the nanosheets penetrates into the aluminum metal layer, and the layer of copper on the nanosheets penetrates into the copper metal layer. After rolling, the thickness of the interface layer is greatly reduced, and the pores or air gaps at the interface are also reduced, thereby improving the bonding strength and composite strength, and enhancing the mechanical properties of the resulting composite plate.

[0033] The present invention texturizes the copper strip to make its interface rough and enhance the interface bonding strength, and further coats a layer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid solution on the surface. Since the molecular structure of the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid solution contains sulfur and carboxyl groups, the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid solution has good surface activity, forms an organic-inorganic composite layer through in-situ reaction, improves the wettability and dispersibility of the metal interface, thereby significantly improving the infiltration and composite between the copper substrate and the aluminum substrate, and improving the interface bonding strength of the two.

[0034] The copper-aluminum composite sheet prepared by continuous casting of aluminum liquid prepared by the present invention can be used to prepare poles of new energy batteries. Through the process of continuous casting and multiple rolling, the wettability of the interface between aluminum and copper metals is improved. The prepared composite sheet has high bonding strength, small interface thickness, high composite strength, good mechanical properties, simple preparation method, low cost, high efficiency, and broad application prospects.
