Description

Method for producing photovoltaic solder strip by adopting evaporated tin-plated alloy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic solder strips, in particular to a method for producing a photovoltaic solder strip by adopting an evaporation tinned alloy.
Background
The photovoltaic solder strip is formed by uniformly coating a copper material with a tin alloy and then welding the tin alloy on a photovoltaic module cell to play a role in conducting and gathering electricity. The tin alloy which can be used for coating is divided into tin-lead, tin-lead-bismuth, tin-bismuth-silver and the like, wherein the tin-lead alloy is used in the largest amount and has the widest application range, and the tin-lead alloy is required to have uniform thickness, smooth surface, low specified plastic elongation strength, good concentricity and the like when being coated with a copper material.
In the prior art, the method for coating the surface of copper material with tin alloy mainly comprises three methods: hot dip plating, electroplating and magnetron sputtering. The hot dip coating method is characterized in that molten tin alloy liquid is adopted, copper materials are immersed and penetrated out at a high speed, and the tin liquid attached to the surface of the copper materials is uniformly expanded through surface tension, and then is solidified to form a coating after excessive tin liquid is scraped by an air knife or a mould. The thickness of the coating produced by the process is generally 15-25 microns, the tin consumption is large, tin slag and tin nodules are easily generated on the appearance, and the defects of uneven thickness, serious eccentricity and the like are easily generated.
The electroplating method is to electroplate tin, lead and other metal coatings on the surface of a copper material, but because the dispersion capacity of the coating solution is poor, the tip effect is large, thickening, burrs and filiform whiskers of the coating are easy to generate, meanwhile, the deposition speed of the coating is slow, the current efficiency is low, and secondly, the coating solution contains heavy metal and organic additives, so that the environmental pollution is serious.
Magnetron sputtering coating is a technology of bombarding the surface of a target by using charged particles in vacuum to deposit the bombarded particles on a substrate. But the working vacuum is lower than the evaporation coating by one order of magnitude, so the gas content of the film layer is higher than that of the evaporation coating; meanwhile, the utilization rate of the target material is not high, equipment is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, a high-pressure environment is required, and the requirement on an operator is high, so that the target material is not suitable for being used in a photovoltaic welding strip. In addition, the melting point of Sn-Pb alloy used for the solder strip is low, such as Sn60Pb40The melting point of the alloy is 190 ℃ in order to avoid Sn of the target material60Pb40Dissolution to form a karst cave and short circuit, and low power used during film coating to cause slow deposition rate; the magnetron sputtering coating power supply has poor protective function, cannot automatically stop working in time after being overloaded, and is not beneficial to mass production industrialization.
