The aluminum honeycomb plate brazing filler metal paste containing the Zn-Al brazing filler metal powder is prepared from the Zn-Al brazing filler metal powder, cesium fluoroaluminate brazing filler metal powder and triethanolamine, wherein the mass percent of the components is 5-12% of cesium fluoroaluminate brazing filler metal, 8-15% of triethanolamine and the balance of the Zn-Al brazing filler metal powder.
The preparation method of the aluminum honeycomb panel solder paste comprises the following steps:
1) weighing the components according to the proportion, and then uniformly mixing the components for forming the Zn-Al brazing filler metal powder and cesium fluoroaluminate brazing flux powder to form powder for later use;
2) injecting the weighed triethanolamine liquid into a container, and then placing the container in a water bath tank at 80-100 ℃ for water bath heating;
3) slowly adding the uniformly mixed powder in the step 1) into the triethanolamine liquid in the container in the step 2), and continuously stirring until paste is formed;
4) cooling the paste obtained in the step 3) to room temperature to obtain the product.
The design idea of the invention is as follows: the common zinc-aluminum solder in the market is Zn-2Al solder, the melting point of the solder is 382-415 ℃, and the solder is a common solder for aluminum alloy brazing. However, the melting point of the aluminum brazing flux cesium fluoroaluminate matched with the brazing filler metal is 480 ℃, and the active temperature is 480-500 ℃. Therefore, the brazing filler metal is melted, the brazing flux is not melted, so that the activity of the brazing flux cannot be normally exerted, and the matching degree of the brazing filler metal and the brazing flux is low.
The conventional operation in the field is to reduce the melting point temperature of the brazing filler metal, so that the brazing filler metal can be conveniently welded even without adding an active agent, but the conventional operation has the problem that the strength of a welding point of the brazing filler metal is reduced.
The invention develops a new method, and on the basis of the Zn-2Al solder, the melting temperature of the Zn-Al solder is increased to 445-500 ℃ by increasing the content of the Al element and adding the element Mo, so that the Zn-Al solder is matched with the soldering flux. Tests prove that the melting point of the brazing filler metal can be increased to the temperature matched with the brazing flux only by increasing the content of the aluminum element in the brazing filler metal to be more than 25%.
In addition, the Zn-Al solder has poor corrosion resistance, and the addition of Mo can enhance the grain boundary strength and corrosion potential of the solder, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the solder. Meanwhile, the solder paste is easy to oxidize, and the strength of the solder can be improved by adding deoxidizing elements Mn and P. Triethanolamine is a low-temperature aluminum soldering flux, is used for preparing paste, and on one hand, the viscosity of the paste meets the use requirement, and on the other hand, the paste can be volatilized in a large amount in the brazing process without generating residues.
In the invention, the functions of the components are as follows:
zn: based on the traditional Zn-Al solder, the main elements of the solder;
al: the Al element content is increased, so that the melting temperature of the Zn-Al brazing filler metal can be increased to be matched with the activity temperature of the brazing flux, and the corrosion resistance of the brazing filler metal can also be improved;
cu: cu can improve the corrosion resistance of the Zn-Al solder to a certain extent;
mo: the Zn-Al brazing filler metal has good high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance, and is a key element for enhancing the corrosion resistance of the Zn-Al brazing filler metal; mo has high melting point and hard property and can be pinned at the grain boundary of the brazing filler metal; the electrode potential of Mo is higher, which is beneficial to improving the mixed potential of the brazing filler metal and enhancing the corrosion resistance of the brazing filler metal;
mn: deoxidizing, improving the brazing performance of the brazing filler metal paste and playing a role in dispersion strengthening;
p: deoxidizing, improving the brazing performance of the brazing filler metal paste, and refining the grain size of brazing seams;
cesium fluoroaluminate: the aluminum brazing flux matched with the Zn-Al brazing filler metal plays a role in removing films and assisting in flowing;
triethanolamine: the high temperature can be completely volatilized, and the adhesive has the function of a binder.
During the long-term placement of the Zn-2Al solder welding spot, water vapor in the air can form a water film on the surface of the welding spot. Because the electrode potential (-0.763 v) of Zn is higher than the electrode potential (-1.680 v) of Al, a potential difference is formed between the two, and the welding spot is subjected to electrochemical corrosion by taking an alpha phase (Al-rich phase) as an anode and taking a beta phase (Zn-rich phase) as a cathode under the action of a water film, wherein the corrosion process is as follows:
Zn→Zn2++2e﹣;
Al→Al3++3e﹣;
2H2O +O2+4e﹣→4OH﹣;
studies have shown that 1mol of metal, when converted to corrosion products by the action of a corrosion cell, changes in Gibbs free energy Δ G as:
ΔG=-nF(Ee-Ea)
wherein n represents the number of electron transfers in the etching reaction;
F-Faraday constant;
ea — equilibrium potential for anodic (aluminum rich phase) reactions;
ee-equilibrium potential for the cathodic (zinc-rich) reaction.
In the above formula, nF is always positive, so that only when Ee-Ea > 0, Δ G of the reaction is negative (free energy decreases), and corrosion of the anode metal proceeds spontaneously. It follows that the higher the potential of the anodic metal (Al-rich phase), the more difficult it corrodes, indicating the better thermodynamic stability of the anodic metal (Al-rich phase).
Therefore, the element Mo with higher potential (electrode potential-0.2) is added in the invention, thereby improving the mixed potential of the solder paste welding spot alloy and enhancing the corrosion resistance of the welding spot. In addition, Mo contributes to the formation of dense Mo2O3And the thin film prevents the corrosion from further expanding towards the interior of the welding spot.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1) according to the invention, the Al element content in the Zn-Al solder is increased, and the Mo element is added, so that the melting point of the Zn-Al solder is increased to 445-500 ℃, the matching degree with the active temperature (480-500 ℃) of the cesium fluoroaluminate soldering flux is high, and the mechanical property of a soldered joint is good;
2) according to the invention, by adding Mo element, the mixing potential of the solder paste welding spot alloy can be improved, and the corrosion resistance of the welding spot is enhanced; in addition, Mo contributes to the formation of dense Mo2O3A thin film to prevent further expansion of corrosion into the interior of the solder joint;
3) the solder paste contains strengthening elements such as Mn, P, Cu and the like, has obvious corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, and has long service life of soldered joints.
