A kind of preparation method of nano-powder aluminum alloy brazing flux
Technical field
The invention belongs to a kind of welding material, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of nano-powder aluminum alloy brazing flux.
Background technology
Aluminium alloy has that density is little, intensity is high and advantage such as corrosion-resistant, thereby is widely used in automobile, high-speed railway vehicle, Aero-Space and war industry.Because its distinctive physics, chemical property can run into a series of difficulties in its welding process, as oxidation, weld seam fire check and pore etc.For the welding of aluminium alloy, traditional method is mainly based on molten solder, the equipment complexity, and also relatively stricter to welder's specification requirement.Aluminium soldering has little, the dimensional accuracy advantages of higher of brazing member distortion as the important method that aluminium alloy connects, and is widely used in China in recent years.In soldering, the solder brazing brazing flux tradition of aluminium and alloy thereof is all occupied an leading position with villaumite base brazing flux.But such brazing flux exists the strong electrochemical corrosion of halogen ion pair mother metals such as chlorine, and hygroscopicity is very strong.At brazing area, meeting heavy corrosion brazing member after the postwelding residue moisture absorption, and, cause the brazing flux performance depreciation in the easy hydrolysis of heating process, even lost efficacy.In addition, postwelding is higher to the cleaning requirement of residue, and the residue of failing thoroughly to clean is the serious hidden danger of workpiece weld zone corrosion.The later stage seventies, a kind of insoluble brazing flux that develops rapidly, this brazing flux is by KF-AlF
3The potassium fluoroaluminate mixed salt that system constitutes.This brazing flux is two intermediate compound KAlF
4-K
3AlF
6Between the salt formed of eutectic point.As KF and AlF
3When forming eutectic point, eutectic temperature is 560 ℃, and brazing flux is just got the composition of this eutectic point.The performance of this brazing flux possesses unquestionable advantage than chloride brazing flux, and it is non-hygroscopic, does not corrode, and is called as " not having corrosion " brazing flux or Nocolok brazing flux, thereby is subjected to paying attention to widely.Prepare the four kinds of more common methods that mainly contain of NOCOLOK brazing flux at present, promptly smelting process, mechanical milling method, sintering process and water are transferred method (or water-boiling method).Adopt the NOCOLOK brazing flux of these four kinds of method preparations to contain free fluoride, these free fluorides are soluble in water, and welding work pieces is had corrosion.And smelting process power consumption is high, the wayward one-tenth shortcoming of grading.In recent years, there is report to adopt the synthetic NOCOLOK brazing flux of wet method (or chemical combination method).
The synthetic method of Nocolok brazing flux and prescription, total following eight kinds of comprehensive relevant reported in literature:
A. add water mill with quantitative AlF3 and KF and become to stick with paste, be lower than 200 ℃ of oven dry 1 hour then.
B. use quantitative AlF3 and KF heating and melting it, it is levigate to (150~200) sieve mesh to cool off thing.
C. synthesize K3AlF6 and KAlF4 respectively, then they are blended together in proportion the composition of minimum fusing point in the phasor.
D. with anhydrous AlF3 and KF dry powder mixing porphyrize in proportion, 300 ℃ of following roastings 1 hour.
E. quantitative Al (OH) 3 is dissolved in HF, uses quantitative KOH solution-treated then.Temperature keeps 30 ℃~100 ℃, acidity pH<4.
F. (or KOH is in mixed liquor K2CO3) to use unbodied Al (OH) 3 to join HF and KF; Or with (KOH K2CO3) joins in the mixed liquor of HF and amorphous Al (OH) 3.50 ℃~60 ℃ of temperature, pH=5~10.Can obtain fine size, suspension brazing flux that specific surface is big thus.
G. quantitative Al (OH) 3 or metallic aluminium bits are dissolved in the quantitative KOH solution, generate the mixed liquor of NaAlO2 and KOH, be converted into potassium aluminum fluoride flux with excessive HF again.
H. adopt wet method synthetic step by step, promptly use quantitative Al (OH) 3 to be dissolved in the HF of certainty ratio amount, then K2CO3 solution is slowly added, fully stir, regulate different pH values, change different evaporate to dryness temperature.Under suitable preparation condition (pH value approximate 4 or be slightly less than 4, about 100 ℃ of evaporate to dryness temperature), can make epigranular, tiny, specific area is big, and composition is potassium aluminum fluoride flux very accurately.
