Description

Corrosion-resistant temperature-resistant impact-resistant composite layer based on tin layer, aluminum substrate corrosion-resistant temperature-resistant impact-resistant treatment method and aluminum terminal
Technical Field
The invention relates to a tin layer-based corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant impact composite layer, an aluminum substrate corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant impact treatment method and an aluminum terminal, and belongs to the technical field of corrosion resistance.
Background
At present, the processes of electroplating, chemical plating, spraying, laser surface treatment and the like can play a role in protecting a matrix by coating a film layer on the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloy, but the effect of salt spray resistance experiments is not ideal, the common aluminum workpiece can be corroded only after the salt spray time is maintained for 48 hours, and the service life of the aluminum workpiece in the assembly is greatly limited. At the same time, the expansion coefficient of the metal aluminum is very large and is 23.21 multiplied by 10 -6 and/K, stress is necessarily generated on the surface film layer in the process of temperature impact, and the film layer is torn. In the subsequent salt spray test, the damaged film layer has a greatly reduced protective effect, so that the salt spray of the aluminum workpiece after temperature impact can not reach 12 hours.
The current electroplating manufacturer develops less aluminum electroplating technology, and only carries out the next electroplating by plating nickel after secondary zinc precipitation, the plating scheme is different in selection and general in effect, and the aluminum workpiece electroplating requirement of high corrosion resistance after temperature impact is difficult to solve, and particularly the aluminum workpiece used in the fields of military industry, aerospace, automobiles and the like and in the severe environment with rapid temperature change can not meet the use requirement.
At present, terminals or workpieces applied to assemblies such as connectors, car bodies, controllers and battery packs in the market are subjected to temperature impact test, the temperature is kept at minus 40 ℃ for 30min, the temperature is kept at 140 ℃ for 30min in 30s, the problems of contact resistance overrun, poor appearance, pressure resistance overrun and the like are avoided after the test is performed for 100 times in a circulating way, the terminals tested by the temperature impact test are seemingly good, but cracks appear in the microcosmic and the aluminum terminals are more serious.
However, the prior art is not concerned about the corrosion resistance after the temperature impact cycle, and the coating is damaged at this time, so that the corrosion resistance of the coating is lost, and the service performance of a terminal, a workpiece and the like is greatly influenced; serious consequences can occur if the corrosion resistance of the terminal or workpiece after being subjected to temperature shock cycles does not meet the practical use requirements.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below for a clearer understanding of technical features, objects and advantageous effects of the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
The invention provides an aluminum terminal with a plating film layer, which comprises an aluminum terminal material and a plating film layer, wherein the aluminum terminal material is provided with a terminal surface and a terminal side surface; the plating film layer (corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer) includes: zinc layer, secondary zinc layer, alkali copper layer, pyrocopper layer, nickel sulfamate layer, and tin layer. An exemplary overall structure of an aluminum terminal with a corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer is shown in fig. 1, wherein a zinc layer 2, an alkali copper layer 3, a pyrocopper layer 4, a nickel sulfamate layer 5 and a tin layer 6 are sequentially arranged on the surface of an aluminum substrate 1; if necessary, a secondary zinc precipitation layer can be further arranged between the zinc layer 2 and the alkaline copper layer 3.
An exemplary electroplating process for an aluminum terminal is shown in fig. 2: the electroplating process comprises the following steps: ultrasonic degreasing, alkaline washing, acid washing, chemical zinc precipitation, chemical zinc removal, secondary zinc precipitation, activation, alkaline copper electroplating, coke copper electroplating, nickel sulfamate electroplating, tin electroplating, post-treatment, pure water washing and drying; wherein, the step of secondary zinc precipitation can be selected according to the requirement.
Terminal corrosion principle: common corrosion of metallic materials is oxidation corrosion and electrochemical corrosion.
The principle of oxidation corrosion is that the metal is oxidized in the air, and the metal with stronger activity is more easily oxidized and corroded, and the following two methods are generally adopted to avoid corrosion: 1. the surface treatment is carried out, and a film is coated on the surface of the metal in a surface treatment mode, so that the effect of isolating air is achieved, and the metal is prevented from reacting due to contact with the air; 2. conversion of oxidation corrosion to electrochemical corrosion by cathodic protection of the workpiece in a manner that corrodes another metal, namely a sacrificial anode: the metal with strong reducibility is used as a protection electrode and is connected with the protected metal to form a primary battery, the metal with strong reducibility is used as a negative electrode to be consumed by oxidation reaction, and the protected metal is used as a positive electrode to avoid corrosion.
The electrochemical corrosion principle is that the metal reacts with the primary cell in the ocean atmospheric environment, the metal, impurities, water and sodium chloride plasma salt form the primary cell, which generates oxidation reaction on the anode (metal) to dissolve the anode (namely the metal is corroded), and the reduction reaction is generated on the cathode to transfer electrons and discharge. The corrosion time and process are very long, a salt spray test method is generally used for verifying the corrosion resistance of the metal material, namely, a salt spray test is a simulation experiment for simulating the corrosion resistance of the metal material in ocean atmosphere or humid air, and the environment test for checking the corrosion resistance of the product or the metal material is performed by using the artificial simulated salt spray environment condition created by salt spray test equipment. Electrochemical corrosion under salt mist generally prevents the salt mist liquid from contacting metal materials by means of surface treatment of a covering film layer, however, chloride ions in the salt mist environment have very strong penetrating capacity and can penetrate into a substrate from pores of the metal surface film layer, so that corrosion occurs. The invention designs the terminal material and the electroplating film layer, so that the electroplating film layer of the terminal can effectively prevent chloride ions from penetrating, and the corrosion resistance of the aluminum terminal is greatly improved.
Corrosion principle after terminal temperature impact test: the expansion coefficient of the aluminum workpiece is 23.21 multiplied by 10 when the temperature impact test is carried out due to the difference of the expansion coefficients of the workpiece and the plating film and the difference of the expansion coefficients of the plating film and the plating film -6 The thermal expansion volume of the aluminum workpiece is far greater than that of the electroplated film, and the volume difference between the aluminum workpiece and the electroplated film causes great tensile stress between the workpiece and the electroplated film. The stress causes the electroplated film layer to be torn or even destroyed, and when the salt spray test is carried out on the workpiece with the torn surface film layer, chloride ions in the salt spray liquid medicine easily pass through the workpiece to contact with the aluminum workpiece base material, so that the electrochemical corrosion of the workpiece is caused.
The invention is designed from the selection of the plating film layer, and uses the plating film layer (copper 17 multiplied by 10) of copper, tin and the like with the expansion coefficient similar to that of aluminum -6 K, tin 26.7X10 -6 And (K), the tensile stress generated by volume expansion in temperature impact is greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the tin layer adopts a high-ductility and high-toughness nickel sulfamate layer, so that the nickel sulfamate layer is not torn after bearing the tensile stress, the original compactness is still maintained, and a workpiece can be effectively protected in a salt spray test to avoid corrosion. The tin layer is used as a plating layer of the outermost layer in the composite layer, so that salt fog liquid can be effectively prevented from penetrating through the plating layer to corrode the substrate.
The surface density of the aluminum material is increased by applying pressure through mechanical means in the rolling treatment, so that the porosity of the surface of the aluminum terminal material is reduced, the compactness of the aluminum terminal material is improved, the preparation is made for the covering of the next electroplating film layer, the fewer the pores of the material are, the fewer the pores of the electroplating film layer are, and the protection is higher. SEM images of conventional aluminum plates and rolled aluminum plates are shown in fig. 3. In fig. 3, a graph a shows a conventional aluminum plate, and b graph b shows a rolled aluminum plate. As can be seen from fig. 3: through the roll-in treatment, the roughness of aluminum plate surface reduces, and the roughness obtains promoting by a wide margin.
The polishing treatment is performed in a magnetic polishing mode, specifically, a magnetic field is generated by electrifying, the magnetic field drives the stainless steel needle to move, and in the moving process, the stainless steel needle rubs the surface of the terminal material, so that the mechanical polishing effect is achieved, and the smoothness and the flatness of the surface of the terminal material are improved.
Polishing treatment, precise stamping process and the like are used for improving the smoothness and flatness of the front surface and the side surface of the terminal material.
The flatness and the smoothness of the terminal material are improved, so that the electroplating process is greatly beneficial to the electroplating film layer, and more electroplating film layers can be accumulated at the position where the electrons of the workpiece are enriched in the electroplating process due to the influence of current, so that the thickness of the electroplating film layer on the surface of the terminal is different, and even a large number of pits appear, so that chloride ions in salt mist are collected and penetrated. When the flatness of the terminal material is insufficient, due to the principle of point discharge, the more the conductor surface is bent, the more charges are accumulated at the place with smaller relative surface area, and a large number of electrons are accumulated on the uneven bulge on the material surface, so that the bulge position on the surface of the electroplated workpiece is more convex, and the concave position is more concave, thus small holes are formed, salt fog liquid medicine is easily accumulated, chloride ions are easily penetrated, and corrosion is caused. After the terminal material is treated by the process provided by the invention, the terminal material can effectively cover the electroplating film layer, and the corrosion resistance of the terminal material is effectively improved.
Electroplating alkali copper: the alkaline copper is cyanide copper plating, the complexing ability of cyanide in water is extremely strong, the cathode polarization of electroplating can be greatly increased, copper ions are deposited together after a large amount of cathode is accumulated, and the compactness of a plating film layer is improved; the plating layer electroplated by the cyanide system is compact and quick and efficient in reaction, and a compact and flat copper layer can be covered on the surface of the zinc layer; and copper has relatively inactive chemical property and low electroplating internal stress, is an excellent intermediate plating layer, and is easy to electroplate a subsequent metal plating layer.
The plating parameters were as follows: cuprous cyanide: 40-50g/L, total sodium cyanide: 40-60g/L, free sodium cyanide: 8-14g/L, potassium sodium tartrate: 30-45g/L, sodium hydroxide: 1-3g/L of additive: 3-5mL/L, temperature: 40-50 ℃, and the area ratio of the cathode to the anode: 1:1.5, current density: 0.7-1.2A/dm 2 Electroplating time: 5-15min, coating thickness: preferably 1-6 μm.
In order to enhance the compactness of the coating, the invention carries out process optimization: generally, to meet the requirement of electroplating efficiency, the method is faster in production, and the current density of the alkaline copper electroplated in an electroplating plant is 4-10A/dm 2 Far above the present invention. The density of the plating layer is directly affected by the current density, the cathode polarization can be weakened due to high current density, meanwhile, the overpotential of precipitation of hydrogen ions in the solution is easier to reach, the occurrence of hydrogen evolution side reaction during electroplating is caused, and the precipitated hydrogen can leave pores in the plating layer, so that the compactness of the plating layer is reduced. The alkaline copper plating process used in the invention reduces the current density and increases the concentration of the main salt cuprous cyanide and the free sodium cyanide at the same time, thereby obtaining the alkaline copper plating layer with excellent plating efficiency and compactness.
Electroplating the coke copper: the electroplated copper pyrophosphate layer is electroplated copper pyrophosphate, the complexing ability of the pyrophosphate in water is stronger than that of cyanide, and the cathode polarization effect in a pyrophosphate system is also stronger. Because of [ Cu (P) 2 O 7 ) 2 ] 6- The more negative charge is, the more the cathode process is affected, and at the same time [ Cu (P) 2 O 7 ) 2 ] 6- Is difficult to discharge and needs to be hydrolyzed into [ CuP ] 2 O 7 ] 2- Can discharge to deposit copper layer, [ CuP ] 2 O 7 ] 2- Is slower and so again increases the cathodic polarization. The coke copper electroplating film layer is more compact, has fewer pores, can effectively prevent chloride ions from penetrating in salt spray experiments, and enhances the corrosion resistance and the temperature impact resistance of the workpiece.

Meanwhile, the preparation process of the chemical copper layer is simple chemical reaction, and the thickness and the porosity of the plating layer cannot be influenced by current distribution, so that the thickness of the chemical copper layer is more uniform, the porosity is lower, and the corrosion resistance of the whole plating layer can be enhanced by adding the chemical copper layer.

Electroplating nickel sulfamate: nickel sulfamate is used as main salt, nickel chloride is used as depolarizer of anode, nickel layer electroplated under the liquid medicine system has good ductility, and compared with other electroplated nickel layers, the film layer electroplated by nickel sulfamate has higher toughness and lower internal stress, can bear tensile stress generated by temperature impact without being torn, still maintains original compactness, and can effectively protect workpieces from corrosion in salt spray tests.
The plating parameters were as follows: nickel sulfamate: 300-500g/L, nickel chloride: 10-25g/L, boric acid: 30-40g/L sulfamic acid: 100-150g/L, additive: 5-10ml/L; current density: 0.8-1.2A/dm 2 Temperature: 50-60 ℃, cathode-anode area ratio: 1:1.5, electroplating time: 1-80min; the plating thickness can be controlled by controlling parameters of electroless copper plating as needed. Also, in order to improve the compactness of the plating layer, the process used by the invention is optimized, and the current density is reduced.

After the impact test, when the thick tin layer is adopted, the salt fog resistance of the aluminum terminal provided by the invention can still reach 240H, and the corrosion resistance requirement of the full-exposed area of the aluminum terminal is met; when a thin tin layer is adopted, salt mist resistance can be realized for 48 hours, and the corrosion resistance requirement of a semi-exposed area of an aluminum terminal is met; meanwhile, the ductility of the alkaline copper, the pyrocopper and the tin layer is also excellent, and the alkaline copper, the pyrocopper and the tin layer can effectively bear tensile stress (on one hand, the tensile stress can be reduced, and on the other hand, the applied tensile stress can be borne) without breakage in a temperature impact cycle.
The nickel sulfamate layer adopted by the invention has good ductility and toughness, can easily bear stress caused by volume change, can not be damaged under the microcosmic plating layer, can continuously keep good compactness, and has better protection effect.
The invention can bring the following technical effects by mutually matching the alkali copper layer, the pyrocopper layer, the nickel sulfamate layer, the tin layer and the like:
1. in the temperature cycle, the increase of the temperature can lead to the release of internal stress of the electroplated layers, so that the bonding force between the electroplated layers is invalid, the alkaline copper layer is used as the lowest layer, the bonding force is good, the bonding force of the terminal in the temperature impact can be ensured, and the problems of foaming peeling and the like can not occur. Meanwhile, the nickel sulfamate is also a low-stress nickel plating seed, has lower internal stress, is matched with an alkali copper layer and the like, and can effectively increase the plating binding force of the terminal.
2. Enhancing the salt fog effect: because the surface state of the base material has great influence on the electroplated layer and can not directly electroplate a very compact plated layer on the porous surface of the aluminum material, the invention adopts a scheme of gradually improving the compactness, the compactness of the zinc layer is lower than that of alkali copper, the compactness of the alkali copper is slightly lower than that of pyrocopper, and the compactness of the three layers is gradually improved, so that the compactness of the final pyrocopper layer is optimal, therefore, the invention preferably adopts 1-6 mu m alkali copper and 5-15 mu m pyrocopper for combination, and can effectively improve the corrosion resistance of a workpiece.
When the alkali copper layer is thicker, the rough plating layer is easy to appear, so the invention selects plating of 1-10 mu m (preferably 1-6 mu m), and the binding force and compactness can meet the requirement under the thickness of the plating layer. The thickness of the copper-coke layer is selected to be 2-18 μm, and the thicker the plating layer is, the more the pores of the copper-coke layer can be covered, but in consideration of the influence of the plating time, 5-15 μm is preferable. The nickel sulfamate layer is too thick, which still causes an increase in internal stress and a decrease in ductility, so that the selection of 4 to 15 μm is preferable in consideration of the combination.
The corrosion-resistant composite layer provided by the invention comprises the following components: the electroplating film layers such as the alkali copper layer, the coke copper layer and the tin layer have stronger compactness, can effectively prevent chloride ions from penetrating in a salt spray test, and the interaction of the metal/alloy layers is mutually overlapped, so that the pores existing in the original single plating layer are covered by other electroplating film layers, and even if the chloride ions penetrate one electroplating film layer in the salt spray test, other compact plating layers can effectively prevent the chloride ions from penetrating further, thereby greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum substrate. By adding a zinc layer, a secondary zinc deposition layer, a chemical copper layer, an acid copper layer, a watt nickel layer and the like, the corrosion resistance can be further improved.

TABLE 1
/>
The temperature impact experiment is according to national standard: GB/T2423.22-2012, specifically: the sample is firstly kept at the temperature of minus 40 ℃ for 30min, then is transferred to 140 ℃ for 30min in 30s, and is kept at the temperature of minus 40 ℃ for 30min and is kept at the temperature of 140 ℃ for 30min for 100 times, and then salt spray corrosion resistance experiment is carried out according to national standard GB/T2423.17-2008. And (5) qualification standard: the coating has no corrosion, no surface pitting, peeling, bubbling and the like, and no speckles and color change.
Test results:
the following properties are compared with conventional plated terminals: 1. SEM after temperature cycling (see its coating breakage); 2. salt fog after temperature cycling (see its corrosion resistance). The test results are shown in FIG. 5, wherein the graph a in FIG. 5 shows the conventional coating after 100 times of temperature impact, the graph b shows the coating of the invention example 1 after 100 times of temperature impact, the graph c shows the conventional coating without temperature impact, and the graph d shows the coating of the invention example 1 without temperature impact.
As can be seen from fig. 5: the corrosion resistance of the aluminum terminal after temperature impact is reduced more, and corrosion points are obviously more than those of a sample piece which does not do temperature impact; the conventional plating (only tinning) has poorer corrosion resistance than the plating of the invention, and has more serious corrosion no matter whether the temperature impact experiment is carried out or not.
Comparative example 16 is a electroless nickel plating 3 μm thick on the transition layer. After temperature cycling, the sample showed corrosion in salt spray resistance experiment 12H.
After the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant impact composite layer is subjected to 100 times of temperature impact, salt spray corrosion resistance test is carried out, and the test shows that: the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer can still not generate corrosion in a 240H salt spray test, and a good state is maintained.
Fig. 6 is a surface SEM image and a side cross-sectional metallographic image of a conventional plating layer (nickel plating) before and after temperature impact.
As can be seen from fig. 6: obvious cracks can be seen in the conventional nickel coating after temperature impact under SEM, and after section metallographic test, obvious cracks on the side surface can be observed, which shows that the temperature impact has great influence on the coating, so that the coating is invalid and the protection of the terminal is lost.
Fig. 7 is a side cross-sectional metallographic image of a conventional plating layer (nickel plating) after temperature impact and a plating layer of example 1 of the present invention, wherein the left drawing is the conventional plating layer and the right drawing is the plating layer of example 1 of the present invention.
As can be seen from fig. 7: the coating of the embodiment 1 of the invention can effectively bear temperature impact without generating cracks, has good extensibility in the environment of rapid temperature change, and maintains the integrity of the coating.
And (3) binding force test: the aluminum terminal obtained in example 1 of the present invention was baked at 220℃for 30 minutes and then quenched in water without adhesion defects such as peeling and foaming.
The salt spray corrosion resistance of the aluminum terminal provided by the embodiment 3 of the present invention with the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer in the semi-exposed area can reach 48H, although the corrosion-resistant time is inferior to that of the embodiment 1, the test is performed in the condition of being completely exposed to the salt spray environment, but in the actual use process of the aluminum terminal, the area is not completely exposed to the environment, therefore, the corrosion-resistant time obtained by the test of the embodiment 3 is lower than that of the embodiment 1, the service life of the aluminum terminal is not affected, and the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer still can exert good corrosion-resistant effect, namely, if the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer in the embodiment 3 is arranged in the semi-exposed area of the aluminum terminal of the embodiment 1, the service life of the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer in the semi-exposed area is not lower than that of the corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant composite layer in the exposed area, and the corrosion resistance of the whole aluminum terminal is ensured.
Based on the method, different corrosion-resistant and temperature-resistant impact composite layers can be arranged at different positions of the aluminum terminal according to regional characteristics (whether the aluminum terminal is exposed to the environment or not, the corrosion resistance is required to be high or low), the use requirement and the like, so that the cost can be reduced under the condition of ensuring the corrosion resistance and the service life.
Experiment of influence of surface roughness and bright band on corrosion resistance:
example 7, comparative example 9 and comparative examples 17 to 19 formed the same corrosion-resistant layer (i.e., the corrosion-resistant layer in example 1) on the surface of the terminal (including wire cut material) having different surface roughness (surface roughness before the corrosion-resistant layer was prepared), different bright band duty ratio, and salt spray resistance test (performed according to national standard GB/T2423.17-2008) was performed to evaluate the effect of the surface roughness, bright band duty ratio on the salt spray corrosion resistance performance, the qualification standard: the coating has no corrosion, no surface pitting, peeling, bubbling and the like, and no speckles and color change. The experimental results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
From the experimental data given in table 2 for example 7, comparative example 17, comparative example 18, it can be seen that: under the condition that other conditions are the same, the smaller the surface roughness of the surface of the base material is, the longer the salt spray resistance time of the aluminum terminal with the corrosion-resistant composite layer on the surface is, and the better the salt spray corrosion resistance is;
