Definitions
- the present invention relates to a continuous manufacturing process of an electrical conductor at least partially based on aluminum coated with copper and tin.
- the invention also relates to an electrical conductor consisting of a central core based on aluminum comprising a solderable and oxidation-resistant metallic coating consisting of a layer of copper and a layer of tin.
- Aluminum is a metal that offers a good compromise between conductivity, mechanical strength, mass and cost.
- coated aluminum conductors to manufacture electrical cables is increasingly common in the aeronautical and space industries.
- the second is the spontaneous formation of an oxide film on the aluminum surface, even at room temperature. These two phenomena prevent the good adhesion of the metal layer on the aluminum substrate.
- the substrate is then coated with copper by electrodeposition in a first bath at 60 ° C containing copper pyrophosphate and potassium pyrophosphate and copper coating is itself coated with tin electrodeposition in a second bath at room temperature containing tin sulfate and sulfuric acid.
- the brazability of a conductive wire is expressed by its ability to be wetted by a weld in the molten state.
- Wettability is linked to the so-called wetting angle formed by the respective surfaces of the conductor and the meniscus of the solder at their junction point. The smaller the wetting angle, the better the wettability of the conductor in the solder used.
- the object of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and, in particular, for very light conductors therefore of very small diameter.
- This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by means of a continuous manufacturing process of an electrical conductor consisting of a central core at least partially based on aluminum, coated by electrodeposition with at least one metallic layer comprising successively with intermediate rinses the degreasing of the core, its pickling and the treatment of its surface to create attachment points in the form of microscopic metallic germs, characterized in that one then performs successively on the core, a) an electrochemical deposition of copper in an aqueous bath maintained at a temperature between 20 and 60 * C, containing KCN, CuCN, K2CO3 and KN a C4_H4 ⁇ 6 with a current intensity between 1 and 10 A / dm 2 , b) a rinsing at ambient temperature, c) an electrochemical deposition of tin in an aqueous bath maintained at a temperature of between 20 and 60 ° C mainly containing tin and acid methanesulfonic with a current intensity of between 1 and 100 A / dm 2,
- degreasing is carried out by immersion for 4 to 100 s in an aqueous solution at 60 ° C. comprising: from 5 to 40 g / 1 of NaOH from 5 to 40 g / 1 of Na2C ⁇ 3 1 to 20 g / 1 of Na3P ⁇ 4 from 1 to 20 g / 1 of Na2Si ⁇ 3 from 2 to 35g g / 1 of C ⁇ HiiNaO and pickling is carried out by immersion for 3 to 90 s in an aqueous solution at room temperature containing 10 to 60% by volume of nitric acid .
- the conductor surface is treated to create attachment points by immersion for 4 to 100 s in an aqueous solution maintained at a temperature between 30 and
- 60 * C comprising from 50 to 200 ml / 1 of Ni (BF4) 2 and from 10 to 80 ml / 1 of Zn (BF4) 2.
- the aqueous bath for the electrochemical deposition of Cu comprises: from 30 to 200 g / 1 of KCN from 20 to 100 g / 1 of CuCN from 5 to 50 g / 1 of K2CO3 from 10 to 100 g / 1 of KN a C4_H4 ⁇ 6 while the aqueous bath for the electrochemical deposition of tin comprises: from 5 to 50% of methane sulfonic acid from 1 to 100 g / 1 of metallic tin optionally from 20 to 200 ml / 1 of additives .
- Another object of the invention is an electrical conductor consisting of a central core at least partially based on aluminum comprising a solderable metallic coating and resistant to oxidation consisting of a copper sublayer and a layer tin characterized in that the wetting angle of the coated conductor is between 10 * and 60 * depending on the diameter of the central core and the coating thickness.
- the thickness of the Cu sublayer is between 0.5 and 15 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the layer of Sn is between 0.5 and 15 ⁇ m.
- the diameter of the central core is between 0.08 and 2.0 mm.
- the conductors of the invention are particularly well suited to the production of light cables for applications in particular in the aeronautical and space fields.
- the tinned aluminum conductor wire is therefore obtained by an electroplating process consisting in successively and continuously carrying out the following chemical and electrochemical treatments:
- Step 1) has a cleaning function by degreasing the aluminum wire leaving the wire drawing operation.
- Step 3) has a double function consisting in dissolving the aluminum oxide film on the one hand and in neutralizing the possible film of liquid from the bath 1) on the aluminum wire.
- step 5 The aim of step 5) is to modify the surface state of the wire by creating microscopic metallic crystal seeds. This operation makes it possible to significantly reduce the phenomenon of chemical displacement during the electrodeposition of the subsequent steps.
- Step 7) makes it possible to continuously deposit a copper film electrolytically. It was chosen to create a barrier separating the aluminum substrate and the tin coating, which makes it possible to give the coated wire advantageous properties. Thus, preliminary tests have shown that this copper sublayer considerably improves the brazability of aluminum wire in tin alloy solders.
- Step 9) aims to achieve the final coating of tin with a determined thickness.
- Steps 7) and 9) of coating Cu and Sn are carried out with current intensities determined as a function of the thicknesses of coating sought and the running speed or the residence time of the conductor in the baths (FARADAY law).
- Steps 2), 4), 6), 8) and 10) are suitable rinses making it possible to remove the liquid entrained by the running on the wire, which could cause contamination of the various treatment baths and thus reduce their duration of life.
- An aluminum wire 131050 (Aluminum PECHINEY) with a diameter of 0.51 mm was treated continuously according to the method of the invention, the composition of the baths and the treatment conditions are described below.
- tinning can also be carried out using a three-component bath sold by the company LEA-RONAL under the references Solderon acid - Solderon tin - Solderon "make-up".
- the yarn After the series of treatments, the yarn has a density of 2.78 g / cm- * and a coating adhesion in accordance with international specifications. It is thus perfectly solderable with tin alloys.
- a 5154 aluminum wire (standard NF-A-02104) with a diameter of 0.102 mm was treated according to the same process, with baths having the same compositions with the same residence times in the baths and the same intensities of electrolytic current as those from example 1 above.
- the wire obtained after the treatments has a density of 3.40 g / cm ⁇ . It has a coating adhesion and solderability similar to that of the wire of the previous example.
- the tests and tests carried out on the conductive shielding made with this wire in a cable coaxial have shown that the resistance to bending and thermal aging, the solderability to tin alloys and the transfer impedance are satisfactory and comparable to those obtained with a copper wire.
- the principle of the measurement is as follows: During brazing, three phases are present: the solid phase S (the part to be brazed) the liquid phase L (the molten filler alloy) and the vapor phase V (most often air or a gas stream).
- the molecular interactions between these phases taken two by two are the surface tensions called: ⁇ s ⁇ (solid-liquid), ⁇ jv . (Liquid-vapor) and ⁇ sv (solid-vapor).
- ⁇ s ⁇ solid-liquid
- ⁇ jv Liquid-vapor
- ⁇ sv solid-vapor
- the piece to be brazed S is the coated conductor according to the present invention.
- the quality of the solderability will be divided into four classes.
- the meniscograph measurements were carried out with a bath of Sn63-Pb37 filler alloy (T solidus 183 * C - T liquidus 183 * C) incorporated in the meniscograph and brought to 235 * C, the wires being immersed beforehand in a non-active neutral flux characterized by its surface tension of 0.38 mN / mm for 2 seconds.
- the electrolytic current intensity for the copper plating and tinning baths was for all the samples of A / dm 2 .
- steps 1, 3, 5 were carried out under the same conditions as for Examples 1 and 2 (same compositions of the baths, same residence times, etc.).
- the residence times in the baths are determined by FARADAY's law from the intensity of the current and the thicknesses sought for the coating of Cu and the coating of Sn (these thicknesses are given in table I below).
