Environment-friendly aluminum-copper-rare earth alloy vertical grounding electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an environment-friendly aluminum-copper-rare earth alloy vertical grounding electrode and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of power grounding.
Background
The grounding grid is an important facility for ensuring the safety of power system equipment and personnel. The grounding materials adopted at present are mainly galvanized steel and pure copper. The galvanized steel has higher corrosion rate in soil and short service life, and the safe operation of the power grid cannot be ensured. Pure copper has better corrosion resistance and conductivity in soil, but a large amount of pure copper is used for a grounding grid to cause soil pollution, and copper resources in China are in shortage, so that the price is high.
The environment-friendly aluminum-copper-rare earth alloy grounding material is a novel grounding material, a small amount of copper and trace rare earth alloy elements are added by taking aluminum as a matrix, so that the corrosion resistance of aluminum is integrated, the good conductivity of copper corrosion products is combined, the surface shot blasting and the pre-oxidation treatment are combined, the stress state of the surface layer is changed into compressive stress by shot blasting, the damage of chloride ions to a passivation film is reduced, and the tendency of uneven corrosion is reduced; the composite pre-oxidation promotes the copper element in the grounding material matrix to diffuse and enrich to the surface, generates aluminum-copper alloy corrosion products with high copper concentration, further improves the soil corrosion resistance of the aluminum-copper alloy on the premise of ensuring good grounding conductivity, and meets the technical requirement of safe and full-length efficient operation of a grounding grid.
The ground grid is typically comprised of a horizontal ground body and a vertical ground electrode. GB 50169 specifies that the buried depth of the top surface of a grounding body should not be less than 0.6m, and normally, a grounding ditch with the depth not less than 0.6m is dug, and a horizontal grounding body is laid in the grounding ditch for burying. The vertical grounding electrode is generally 1.5-3 m deep, and the grounding rod is usually tamped into the ground through a hammer head. The aluminum-copper rare earth alloy grounding material is easy to deform and difficult to construct in the process of being implanted into the ground due to lower strength by adopting a traditional rod-shaped grounding electrode.
