Description

Nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy, in particular to a nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the development of the technology of the aluminum alloy cable in China for more than ten years, the development of the manufacturing process, the product performance, the detection, the installation and construction and the like of the aluminum alloy cable are mature, the matched product standard and the design standard are complete gradually, and powerful guarantee is provided for the rapid development of the aluminum alloy cable in China.
Despite the rapid development of aluminum alloy cables, the vast majority of cables in the market today still use copper cores as conductor materials. However, with the increasing shortage of copper resources, the global copper price is in heavy fluctuation, and brings great operational risk to user enterprises and cable manufacturing enterprises, because the China copper cable manufacturing enterprises are almost tens of thousands of families, the competition is extremely intense, the low price competition becomes normal, and the copper price is greatly fluctuated, and great production risk is brought to the copper cable enterprises, so that the product quality is difficult to guarantee, and the conductor demand for replacing other copper core conductor materials is increasingly large. The aluminum in the metal material has good conductive effect, light weight and low price; meanwhile, in recent years, environmental awareness has been strengthened, and weight saving has been strongly demanded to improve the utilization rate of mechanical fuel. Therefore, it has been necessarily trended to replace copper cables with aluminum core cables.
The aluminum alloy cable has mature application technology in the field of 600V-35kV, and because of the active chemical property of aluminum, an oxide film with the thickness of about 0.005-0.015 mu m can be formed in the atmosphere, and the film is porous, nonuniform, discontinuous and too thin to play a role in protection, especially for places with higher saline-alkali content in coastal areas and serious corrosion of chemical plant compounds and acid and alkali, the corrosion resistance of the existing aluminum alloy cable can not meet the industrial use requirements.
And the matched installation aspect is also basically mature, as the copper price is expanded to cause the demand on the aluminum alloy cable to be larger and larger, the technology of the aluminum alloy cable is developed to the deeper field, the demand of photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation and new energy automobiles on electric wires and cables is greatly increased along with the strong development of the new energy in China nowadays, the existing aluminum alloy cable technology cannot adapt to the demands of the development of a plurality of fields such as the new energy, and the like, in particular, the aluminum alloy conductor material cannot meet the installation connection requirements in the more fields, the existing connection installation technology is designed for copper materials, the aluminum alloy material cannot be directly connected with the existing copper connection terminals, and the existing copper-aluminum transition terminal technology can solve the problem of partial copper-aluminum transition connection, but cannot adopt the copper-aluminum transition terminals for a plurality of application occasions. The modification of the connection scheme is not only a system engineering, but also the unreasonable design can affect the safety and reliability, so that the development of the conductor technology taking the aluminum alloy as the base material is suitable for the existing mature connection scheme, and is a major subject faced by the development of the aluminum alloy wire and cable, and if the problem is solved, the development of the aluminum alloy conductor material is a major historical breakthrough.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide the nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material and the preparation method thereof, which greatly improve the hardness, the wear resistance and the toughness of the existing aluminum alloy conductor material, particularly the corrosion resistance, can be directly connected and installed with the existing terminal without a copper-aluminum transition terminal, and greatly improve the safety and the reliability of connection.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme: the nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy comprises an aluminum alloy and a nickel-plated layer which is plated on the surface of the aluminum alloy and is larger than or equal to 100nm, wherein the aluminum alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: fe:0.01 to 1.1 percent; b:0.001 to 0.4 percent; the balance of Al and impurities; the nickel plating layer consists of the following components in percentage by weight: zn: 0.001-3%; fe: 0.002-2%; cu:0.0015 to 0.95 percent; mg:0.001 to 0.8 percent; al: 0.001-3%; mn: 0.001-1%; the balance being Ni and impurities.
Preferably, the nickel plating layer further contains 0.001 to 0.9 wt% Cr.
Preferably, the nickel plating layer further contains 0.005 to 0.85 wt% of Co.
Preferably, the nickel plating layer further contains 0.03 to 30 wt% of C.
The preparation method of the nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material comprises the following steps:
1. the aluminum alloy material is manufactured into an aluminum alloy rod through smelting, casting and rolling procedures, and then is drawn into an aluminum alloy wire;
2. chemical degreasing of the surface of an aluminum alloy wire blank, hot water washing, cold water washing, strong alkali etching, water washing, light emitting, water washing, zinc soaking, water washing, nickel plating, water washing, drying, inspection and nickel plating of the aluminum alloy wire blank.
The zinc dipping process comprises the following steps: 200-280 g/L of KOH, 20-30 g/L of ZnO, 60-80 g/L of potassium sodium tartrate and FeCl 3 20~26g/L,KNO 3 10-15 g/L, temperature: the room temperature is kept for 10 to 15 minutes.
Zinc impregnation is the key point of the process, and the quality of the zinc impregnation layer directly influences the quality of the nickel plating layer. The zinc impregnation function is as follows: (1) removing the exposed surface layer, (2) making the relative potential of the aluminum alloy conductor surface higher.
When in preparation, znO is firstly mixed into paste and added into sodium hydroxide solution, and is continuously stirred, otherwise Zn (OH) is easy to form 2 And 3, adding 3-valence Fe ions can improve the binding force between the coating and the matrix. The added potassium sodium tartrate can form a complex with 3-valent Fe ions to prevent the 3-valent Fe ions from forming Fe (OH) 3 And (5) precipitation. KNO (KNO) 3 The oxidation-reduction reaction can be promoted. Because the electrode potential of Zn is close to that of A1, the deposition speed of Zn is slow, the leaching time is too short, and a zinc layer cannot be deposited; the zinc layer is re-dissolved for too long, so that it is important to control the zinc dipping time, if the quality of the primary zinc dipping layer is poor, 100ml/L HNO can be used 3 And (5) removing the solution.
In order to enhance the binding force between the nickel plating layer and the aluminum substrate, a bright nickel plating process or a dark nickel plating process can be selected.
The bright nickel electroplating process comprises the following steps:
NiSO 4 400~600g/L,NiCl 2 100~150/L,H 3 BO 4 80-120 g/L saccharin 6-10 g/L, 1.4-butynediol 3-5 g/L coumarin 1-2 g/L, sodium dodecyl sulfate 5-15 g/L, pH 3.8-4.6 g/L, D k 6~10A/dm 2 The temperature is 45-55 ℃ and the time is 50-55 min.
The process for electroplating the dark nickel comprises the following steps:
NiSO 4 300~350g/L,KCl 30~45g/L,Na 2 SO 4 75~85g/L,D k 4~8A/dm 2 the temperature is 20-35 ℃ and the time is 40-45 min.
After zinc impregnation of the aluminum workpiece, nickel is plated as soon as possible, and in order to prevent the zinc impregnation layer from being dissolved in the nickel plating solution, the aluminum substrate is charged into the nickel plating solution. The bright plating layer can be directly plated by electroplating bright nickel, the plating layer is fine, but the internal stress of the plating layer is large, the plating layer cannot be too thick, or else the plating layer is easy to peel.
The plating layer obtained by electroplating the dark nickel has fine crystallization, good toughness, smaller internal stress and better corrosion resistance than bright nickel.
Preferably, the nickel-plated aluminum alloy material may be manufactured into a 2-class, 5-class or 6-class circular conductor, a strip-shaped conductor, or a strip-shaped conductor.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material provided by the invention has good conductivity, tensile property and fatigue resistance, the conductivity is more than or equal to 61% IACS, the elongation at break is more than or equal to 15%, the tensile strength is more than or equal to 100MPa, and the number of fatigue bending times at 90 degrees is more than or equal to 25.
2. According to the Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material, through carrying out chemical degreasing, hot water washing, cold water washing, strong alkali etching, water washing, light emitting, water washing, zinc immersing, water washing, nickel plating, water washing, drying, inspection, and nickel plating of an aluminum alloy wire blank, after a whole set of nickel plating working procedures are carried out, the prepared nickel plating Al-Fe-B alloy conductor wire core has excellent corrosion resistance, the corrosion resistance is greatly superior to that of a nickel-plated aluminum alloy, the corrosion resistance is also superior to that of a copper core cable, an atmosphere corrosion test and an electrolyte solution corrosion test are carried out according to a GB 10124 uniform corrosion full immersion test method in a metal material laboratory, the corrosion rate is less than or equal to 0.05mm/a under the condition of 720 hours of a test period, the stability is good in salt fog and salt water, the problems that the salt alkalinity in coastal areas is relatively high, and chemical plant compounds and acid-alkali corrosion are relatively serious and the common aluminum alloy cable is not suitable to use are solved, and the alloy cable prepared by adopting the nickel plating Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material completely meets the requirements of severe environments in places.
3. According to the nickel-plated aluminum alloy cable provided by the invention, the hardness, the wear resistance and the toughness of the existing aluminum alloy material are greatly improved by the technology of the surface nickel plating.
4. The alloy cable prepared from the nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy conductor material can be directly connected with a copper terminal, so that the problems of instability caused by connection of a copper-aluminum transition terminal and unnecessary installation of supporting facilities are avoided. Because ordinary aluminum alloy cable can't be with copper terminal direct connection, because copper aluminum material is different, the two direct connection can produce electrochemical corrosion, influences the life of cable and brings the potential safety hazard, adopts copper aluminum transition terminal can solve the aluminum alloy cable and terminal's connection problem, avoids electrochemical corrosion's appearance, but adopts copper aluminum transition terminal direct connection also can produce some problems. For example, the power distribution cabinet is designed according to the standard of copper core cables, because the cost performance of the aluminum alloy cable is higher, the aluminum alloy cable is replaced when being installed, because the conductivity of the aluminum alloy cable is slightly poorer than that of copper, when the aluminum alloy cable is replaced by the aluminum alloy cable, one or two specifications of the cable are correspondingly increased, and therefore, the copper-aluminum transition terminal is correspondingly replaced by the corresponding specification, which can lead to the fact that the terminal cannot be directly installed with the power distribution cabinet. And if the joint part is not well crimped with the terminal, the aluminum alloy conductor core may have a part exposed outside, the corrosion resistance of the common aluminum alloy cable is not good, and the joint part may have corrosion conditions, so that the service life of the cable is influenced. The nickel-plated Al-Fe-B alloy aluminum alloy cable can be directly crimped with a copper terminal, and according to national standard GB/T9327 ' rated voltage 35kV (um=40.5 kV) and below ' crimping and mechanical connection fitting test methods and requirements for power cable conductors ', 1000 times of thermal cycle experiments are passed, the installation connection is stable and reliable, the risk of easy corrosion caused by exposure of conductors at joint positions is avoided, and the service life of the cable is prolonged.
5. The nickel-plated aluminum alloy conductor provided by the invention solves the problem of weldability of aluminum alloy and realizes a direct welding connection mode with matched facilities.
