The light aluminum alloy wire harness is prepared by the processing technology of the light aluminum alloy wire harness for the automobile.
In the technical scheme, the mechanical property is improved on the premise of ensuring high conductivity by introducing calcium, manganese, cerium and zirconium in proper proportion into the aluminum alloy conductive core; on the other hand, the ethylene propylene diene monomer is modified, so that the compatibility of the ethylene propylene diene monomer with polypropylene is improved, and the ethylene propylene diene monomer is cooperated with a macromolecular antioxidant and various fillers to improve the electrical property and the mechanical property of the insulating layer. Therefore, the light aluminum alloy wire harness can meet the requirement of quick charging under high pressure, and the charging performance of the automobile is improved.
(1) In the scheme, al-10Ca, al-10Mn and Al-10Ce are introduced according to the mass ratio of 1; the introduction of calcium can improve the conductivity of the aluminum alloy conductive core, and the introduction of manganese can increase the precipitation effect, so that intermetallic compounds are arranged along the extrusion direction in the hot rolling process, thereby improving the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the aluminum alloy and obviously improving the strength of the aluminum alloy; however, when calcium and manganese are introduced simultaneously, the conductivity may be decreased compared to when calcium is introduced singly. On the other hand, the doping of the rare earth cerium can effectively refine the coarse needle-shaped objects, thereby improving the strength of the aluminum alloy conductive core; so that the introduced amount of manganese is reduced, and the decrease of the conductivity is suppressed; the introduction of zirconium can lead the manganese alloy metal to form Al with zirconium 3 Zr-L1 2 Thereby improving the electrical conductivity.
(2) In the scheme, the ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber is introduced as the elastomer, so that the brittleness of the polypropylene insulating material is inhibited, and the impact resistance is improved. Meanwhile, the ethylene propylene diene monomer is subjected to in-situ grafting under the introduction of sodium hydroxide and methacrylate, and sodium methacrylate is used as a phase solvent to enhance the crosslinking between the ethylene propylene diene monomer and polypropylene and improve the tensile strength and the impact toughness.
On the other hand, since small molecule additives such as antioxidant and vulcanizing agent migrate to the surface of the insulating layer during extrusion, mechanical properties are affected and the elongation at break of the insulating layer is deteriorated. Affecting service life and safety. Therefore, in the scheme, firstly, graphene oxide is introduced, and is a two-dimensional material, so that the graphene oxide has good pore penetration capacity for small-molecule additives, and on the other hand, edge functional groups of the graphene oxide can generate strong acting interfaces with certain molecular chain segments in a polymer matrix, so that the migration of dicumyl peroxide is inhibited by utilizing the characteristics of the graphene oxide. And secondly, the ethylene-vinyl acetate is taken as a main body, and is hydrolyzed to generate ester exchange reaction with 3- (3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) methyl propionate and dimethyl methylphosphonate for grafting, so that a macromolecular antioxidant is formed, and the mobility of the macromolecular antioxidant is effectively inhibited. And because the structure of the ethylene-vinyl acetate is similar to that of the main chain of the polypropylene, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has good compatibility, and the contained double bonds can effectively generate crosslinking with a main substance and have toughness, so that the introduction of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer further increases the tensile property and the impact resistance. And 3- (3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) methyl propionate and dimethyl methylphosphonate are grafted simultaneously, so that the oxidation resistance is better than that of single perception.
In addition, the introduction of the graphene oxide can be used for improving the thermal stability and the thermal conductivity in cooperation with the fumed silica and the boron nitride, so that the safety under high current is improved. And the introduction of calcium stearate and vinyl triethoxysilane can effectively enhance the dispersibility of the filler and the interfacial action between polymers.
Therefore, the insulating material has excellent tensile strength and elasticity and excellent electrical insulation property by optimizing the proportion, so that the composite high-voltage cable is used.

Experiment: the conductive core and the insulating layer of the aluminum alloy prepared in the examples and the comparative examples are subjected to related performance tests. Measuring the conductivity of the aluminum alloy conductive core by an eddy current method at room temperature, and testing the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy conductive core by using a universal testing machine to obtain the tensile strength A; the insulating material was injection molded to obtain a 100 × 100 × 0.1mm sample, the tensile strength of the insulating layer was tested using a universal tester to obtain tensile strength B, and the dc voltage breakdown strength was tested using a standard voltage breakdown tester with a two-column test electrode having a diameter of 25mm at a step-up ratio of 1k/V, with the data shown below:
and (4) conclusion: as can be seen from the data of the embodiments 1 to 3, the mechanical property of the prepared aluminum alloy wire harness is effectively improved on the basis of ensuring high conductivity of the aluminum alloy conductor; the insulating layer has excellent mechanical strength and breakdown strength, and can be matched with high-voltage rapid charging. Comparing the data of comparative examples 1 to 3 with example 1, it can be seen that the conductivity reached 57.4% with a single introduction of calcium; however, the mechanical properties were not good, and when calcium and manganese were introduced at the same time, it was found that the mechanical properties increased rapidly, but the conductivity decreased rapidly. When calcium manganese cerium was introduced at the same time, it was found that the conductivity was also decreased, but the conductivity was increased as compared with comparative example 2, indicating that the introduction of rare earth cerium can improve the conductivity. Comparing the data of comparative examples 4 to 7 with example 1, it can be seen that the direct introduction of ethylene-vinyl acetate, methyl 3- (3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate, dimethyl methylphosphonate, leads to a decrease in mechanical properties and breakdown strength due to the presence of migration. Also, in comparative example 7, graphene oxide was not used, increasing the mobility of dicumyl peroxide, resulting in a decrease in performance. In comparative example 5, however, dimethyl methylphosphonate was not introduced, so that the oxidation resistance was lowered, thereby causing a slight decrease in performance. In comparative example 6, the ethylene-propylene-diene monomer was not modified, so that the compatibility and crosslinking properties were reduced, and the properties were degraded.
