Definitions
- the invention relates to an insulated electrical conductor comprising an electrical conductor, preferably made of copper or aluminum, with an insulating coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one outer insulating layer made of thermoplastic material, and to a method for producing such an insulated electrical conductor.
- Insulated electrical conductors are installed in almost any electrical device to conduct electrical current without causing short circuits that may be caused by the contact of non-electrically insulated conductors.
- Such insulated electrical conductors comprise a copper electrical conductor and a coating electrically insulating the conductor, which usually comprises one or more layers.
- the coating comprises an insulating layer of thermoplastic, which is typically the outermost layer of the coating.
- a round cut is usually made on the conductor perpendicular to a conductor axis, the conductor is stretched by 20% and then the detachment of the coating from the conductor is measured. The lower the detachment of the coating from the conductor, the better the adhesion.
- the electrical conductor of generic insulated electrical conductors consists of copper or an alloy with a high copper content or aluminum or other electrically conductive materials.
- the cross-sectional geometry of the conductor which is normal to a conductor axis, can have any geometric shape: square, rectangular, circular or elliptical, it being customary to round off any edges, or profiled.
- the insulation of the conductor is ensured by the proposed insulating layer of thermoplastic material, wherein the insulating layer advantageously forms the outermost layer of the coating.
- one or more further layers are applied to the insulation layer.
- the adhesion of the layer of the coating applied to the surface of the conductor removed from the oxide layer is significantly improved. It has been found that the oxide layer can be completely removed by a plasma treatment under an oxygen-free protective gas atmosphere, wherein other impurities can be removed by the plasma treatment. It is even possible that the top atomic layers of the conductor are removed by the plasma treatment.
- a gas plasma is generated in the protective gas atmosphere and the conductor in the plasma is bombarded with ions of the protective gas in order to remove at least the oxide layer by the ion bombardment.
- Suitable protective gas or process gas are, for example, nitrogen, argon or hydrogen.
- the plasma treatment has further positive effects on the conductor: on the one hand, the conductor is heated by the impact energy of the ions on the surface and can be annealed during the plasma treatment in order to recrystallize the microstructure of the conductor Surface energy of the conductor can be increased, which additionally improves the adhesion of the coating to the surface of the conductor.
- Another effect of the plasma treatment is to increase the microroughness of the surface of the conductor, which also has a positive effect on the adhesion of the coating.
- at least part of the coating is applied to the surface of the conductor under a protective gas atmosphere, preferably under the same protective gas atmosphere under which the plasma treatment is carried out.
- the insulated electrical conductor comprises an electrical conductor, preferably of copper or aluminum, with an insulating coating, the coating comprising at least one, preferably outer, insulating layer thermoplastic material, and the insulated electrical conductor is obtainable by a method in which the conductor is bombarded with ions of the protective gas under a protective gas atmosphere in a gas plasma to remove an oxide layer formed on a surface of the conductor and / or the surface energy of the conductor, and subsequently the coating is applied to the surface of the conductor, wherein at least a part of the coating is applied under protective gas atmosphere on the conductor.
- An inventive insulated electrical conductor has by the direct application of a layer of the coating on the plasma-treated, oxide-free surface of the conductor particularly good adhesion properties: If a wrap around the conductor perpendicular to a conductor axis carried out and the conductor stretched by 20% so the separation of the coating measured by the conductor in the direction of the conductor axis only a maximum of 3 mm, preferably a maximum of 2 mm, in particular a maximum of 1 mm.
- the coating may consist, for example, only of the outer insulating layer or else have one or more intermediate layers, which are arranged between the surface of the conductor and the outer insulating layer. In both cases, it is also conceivable that the insulating layer does not form the outermost layer.
- An embodiment of the invention provides that the conductor is arranged continuously until the application of the coating under a protective gas atmosphere in order to prevent the formation of a new oxide layer on the surface of the conductor. It is also possible to pass through several inert gas atmospheres in succession, as long as the plasma-treated conductor is arranged uninterruptedly under one of the inert gas atmospheres.
- the gas plasma for bombarding the conductor is a low-pressure plasma, preferably having a pressure of less than 80 mbar, which can be produced in a manner known per se. For example, pressures below 50 mbar or even below 20 mbar are conceivable.
- the coating in particular the insulating layer, a temperature resistance of at least 180 ° C, preferably of at least 200 ° C, in particular of at least 220 ° C, having.
- the, preferably outer, insulating layer polyetheretherketone [PEEK] or polyphenylene sulfide [PPS] comprises and preferably has a thickness of between 10 and 1000 ⁇ m, preferably between 25 ⁇ m and 750 ⁇ m, more preferably between 30 ⁇ m and 500 ⁇ m, in particular between 50 ⁇ m and 250 ⁇ m.
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- PPS polyphenylene sulfide
- the insulating layer consists of polyetheretherketone [PEEK] or polyphenylene sulphide [PPS].
- The, preferably outer, insulating layer can be produced cost-effectively and quickly if it is applied by an extrusion process, ie is extruded. Therefore, in a further preferred embodiment variant of the invention, it is provided that the, preferably outer, insulating layer can be produced by means of an extrusion method.
- a particularly simple and cost-effective production of an insulated electrical conductor according to the invention is possible if the coating consists of the outer insulating layer and the adhesion of the outer insulating layer to the surface of the conductor by the plasma treatment is already so good that no intermediate layers are necessary.
- the application of further layers on the insulating layer is conceivable.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention therefore provides that the, preferably outer, insulating layer is applied directly to the surface of the conductor.
- the coating in order to improve the adhesion of the coating to the surface of the conductor, it is provided that the coating has a plasma polymer layer of crosslinked macromolecules of non-uniform chain length applied directly to the surface of the conductor, which plasma polymer layer is polymerized by gaseous polymerization Monomers in a gas plasma, preferably in the gas plasma for bombarding the conductor, can be produced.
- the plasma polymer layer serves as an intermediate layer and, on the one hand, adheres excellently to the surface of the conductor and, on the other hand, allows increased adhesion of the coating layer applied to the plasma polymer layer.
- a further embodiment variant of the first alternative embodiment provides that the plasma polymer layer has a thickness of 1 ⁇ m or less. It is conceivable thicknesses up to one hundredth of a micrometer as the lower limit. Due to the small layer thickness, the plasma polymer layer affects only insignificantly on the entire thickness of the insulated electrical conductor.
- the monomer for producing the plasma polymer layer is ethylene, buthenol, acetone or tetrafluoromethane [CF 4 ].
- the plasma polymer layers formed by these monomers in the plasma are distinguished by particularly good adhesion properties.
- the plasma polymer layer should have similar properties as polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] or perfluoroethylene propylene [FEP], CF 4 is suitable as a monomer.
- the coating has at least one fluoropolymer layer which is applied directly to the surface of the conductor and preferably comprises polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] or perfluoroethylene propylene [FEP].

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen isolierten elektrischen Leiter umfassend einen elektrischen Leiter, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer oder Aluminium, mit einer isolierenden Beschichtung, wobei die Beschichtung zumindest eine äußere Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff umfasst, sowie auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen isolierten elektrischen Leiters.The invention relates to an insulated electrical conductor comprising an electrical conductor, preferably made of copper or aluminum, with an insulating coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one outer insulating layer made of thermoplastic material, and to a method for producing such an insulated electrical conductor.
Isolierte elektrische Leiter werden in nahezu jedem elektrischen Gerät verbaut, um elektrischen Strom zu leiten ohne dabei Kurzschlüsse zu verursachen, die durch den Kontakt von nicht elektrisch isolierten Leitern verursacht werden können. Derartige isolierte elektrische Leiter umfassen einen elektrischen Leiter aus Kupfer und eine den Leiter elektrisch isolierenden Beschichtung, die üblicher Weise eine oder mehrere Schichten aufweist. Um die Isolierung des Leiters sicherzustellen umfasst die Beschichtung eine Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, die in der Regel die äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung darstellt.Insulated electrical conductors are installed in almost any electrical device to conduct electrical current without causing short circuits that may be caused by the contact of non-electrically insulated conductors. Such insulated electrical conductors comprise a copper electrical conductor and a coating electrically insulating the conductor, which usually comprises one or more layers. To insure the insulation of the conductor, the coating comprises an insulating layer of thermoplastic, which is typically the outermost layer of the coating.
Während es in vielen Anwendungsgebieten vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Haftung der isolierenden Beschichtung am elektrischen Leiter schwach ausgebildet ist, um ein leichtes Abisolieren des elektrischen Leiters zu ermöglichen, ist es in anderen Anwendungsgebieten erwünscht, eine möglichst große Haftung sicherzustellen. Solche Anwendungsgebiete finden sich beispielsweise im Elektromaschinenbau und insbesondere bei Elektromotoren oder Transformatoren, wo die isolierten elektrischen Leiter auch einer erhöhten Temperatur ausgesetzt sind. Die Verarbeitbarkeit der isolierten elektrischen Leiter erfordert dabei oftmals eine erhöhte Haftung der Beschichtung am Leiter, teilweise auch bei hohen Betriebstemperaturen.While it is advantageous in many applications, when the adhesion of the insulating coating to the electrical conductor is weak to allow easy stripping of the electrical conductor, it is desirable in other applications to ensure the greatest possible adhesion. Such applications are found for example in electrical engineering and in particular in electric motors or transformers, where the insulated electrical conductors are also exposed to an elevated temperature. The processability of the insulated electrical conductors often requires increased adhesion of the coating to the conductor, in some cases even at high operating temperatures.
Um die Haftung zu überprüfen wird üblicher Weise ein Rundumschnitt am Leiter senkrecht zu einer Leiterachse durchgeführt, der Leiter um 20% gedehnt und danach die Ablösung der Beschichtung vom Leiter gemessen. Desto geringer die Ablösung der Beschichtung vom Leiter ist, desto besser ist die Haftung.In order to check the adhesion, a round cut is usually made on the conductor perpendicular to a conductor axis, the conductor is stretched by 20% and then the detachment of the coating from the conductor is measured. The lower the detachment of the coating from the conductor, the better the adhesion.
In herkömmlichen isolierten elektrischen Leiter die ein Beschichtung mit einer, vorzugsweise hochtemperaturbeständigen äußeren, Isolationsschicht aufweisen, ist die Haftung zwischen dem Kupfer und der Beschichtung, insbesondere der äußeren Isolationsschicht, eher gering, da die Haftung eines Kunststoffs am Leiter aufgrund der Oberflächeneigenschaften gering ist.In conventional insulated electrical conductors which have a coating with an insulation layer which is preferably high-temperature-resistant, the adhesion between the copper and the coating, in particular the outer insulation layer, is rather low, since the adhesion of a plastic to the conductor is low due to the surface properties.
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung einen isolierten elektrischen Leiter vorzuschlagen, welcher die Nachteile des Stands der Technik überwindet und eine gute Haftung zwischen der isolierenden Beschichtung und dem elektrischen Leiter gewährleistet.It is therefore an object of the invention to propose an insulated electrical conductor which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and ensures good adhesion between the insulating coating and the electrical conductor.
Der elektrische Leiter gattungsgemäßer isolierter elektrischer Leiter besteht aus Kupfer oder einer Legierung mit einem hohen Kupferanteil oder Aluminium oder sonstigen elektrisch leitfähigen Materialien. Die Querschnittsgeometrie des Leiters, welche normal auf eine Leiterachse steht, kann dabei eine beliebige geometrische Form aufweisen: quadratisch, rechteckig, kreisrund oder elliptisch, wobei es üblich ist etwaige Kanten abzurunden, bzw. profiliert. Die Isolation des Leiters wird durch die vorgesehene Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff sichergestellt, wobei die Isolationsschicht vorteilhafter Weise die äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung ausbildet. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass auf der Isolationsschicht eine oder mehrere weitere Schichten aufgetragen sind.The electrical conductor of generic insulated electrical conductors consists of copper or an alloy with a high copper content or aluminum or other electrically conductive materials. The cross-sectional geometry of the conductor, which is normal to a conductor axis, can have any geometric shape: square, rectangular, circular or elliptical, it being customary to round off any edges, or profiled. The insulation of the conductor is ensured by the proposed insulating layer of thermoplastic material, wherein the insulating layer advantageously forms the outermost layer of the coating. However, it is also conceivable that one or more further layers are applied to the insulation layer.
Durch den Kontakt mit Sauerstoff, der unausweichlich ist sofern der Leiter der Atmosphäre ausgesetzt ist, bildet sich eine Oxidschicht aus Kupferoxid oder Aluminiumoxid an der Oberfläche des Leiters aus. Umfassende Versuchsreihen haben gezeigt, dass sich die Oxidschicht negativ auf die Haftungseigenschaften einer auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebrachten Schicht der Beschichtung auswirkt.Contact with oxygen, which is unavoidable as long as the conductor is exposed to the atmosphere, forms an oxide layer of copper oxide or alumina on the surface of the conductor. Extensive series of experiments have shown that the oxide layer has a negative effect on the adhesion properties of a layer of the coating applied to the surface of the conductor.
Wenn jedoch die Oxidschicht entfernt wird, verbessert sich die Haftung der auf der von der Oxidschicht befreiten Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebrachten Schicht der Beschichtung maßgeblich. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Oxidschicht durch eine Plasmabehandlung unter einer - sauerstofffreien - Schutzgasatmosphäre vollständig entfernt werden kann, wobei auch sonstige Verunreinigungen durch die Plasmabehandlung entfernt werden können. Es ist sogar möglich, dass durch die Plasmabehandlung die obersten Atomschichten des Leiters abgetragen werden.However, when the oxide layer is removed, the adhesion of the layer of the coating applied to the surface of the conductor removed from the oxide layer is significantly improved. It has been found that the oxide layer can be completely removed by a plasma treatment under an oxygen-free protective gas atmosphere, wherein other impurities can be removed by the plasma treatment. It is even possible that the top atomic layers of the conductor are removed by the plasma treatment.
Bei der Plasmabehandlung wird ein Gas-Plasma in der Schutzgasatmosphäre erzeugt und der Leiter im Plasma mit Ionen des Schutzgases beschossen, um zumindest die Oxidschicht durch den Ionenbeschuss abzutragen. Als Schutzgas bzw. Prozessgas eignen sich beispielsweise Stickstoff, Argon oder Wasserstoff. Die Plasmabehandlung hat neben der Entfernung der Oxidschicht noch weitere positive Effekte auf den Leiter: einerseits wird der Leiter durch die Aufprallenergie der Ionen auf der Oberfläche erhitzt und kann während der Plasmabehandlung weichgeglüht werden, um das Gefüge des Leiters zu rekristallisieren andererseits kann durch den Ionenbeschuss die Oberflächenenergie des Leiters erhöht werden, was die Haftung der Beschichtung an der Oberfläche des Leiters zusätzlich verbessert. Man spricht in diesem Zusammenhang auch von einer Aktivierung der Oberfläche des Leiters. Ein weiterer Effekt der Plasmabehandlung ist die Erhöhung der Mikrorauigkeit der Oberfläche des Leiters, welches sich ebenfalls positiv auf die Haftung der Beschichtung auswirkt. Um die erneute Ausbildung einer Oxidschicht an der Oberfläche des Leiters zu verhindern, wird zumindest ein Teil der Beschichtung unter Schutzgasatmosphäre, vorzugsweise unter derselben Schutzgasatmosphäre unter der die Plasmabehandlung durchgeführt wird, auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht wird.During the plasma treatment, a gas plasma is generated in the protective gas atmosphere and the conductor in the plasma is bombarded with ions of the protective gas in order to remove at least the oxide layer by the ion bombardment. Suitable protective gas or process gas are, for example, nitrogen, argon or hydrogen. In addition to the removal of the oxide layer, the plasma treatment has further positive effects on the conductor: on the one hand, the conductor is heated by the impact energy of the ions on the surface and can be annealed during the plasma treatment in order to recrystallize the microstructure of the conductor Surface energy of the conductor can be increased, which additionally improves the adhesion of the coating to the surface of the conductor. One speaks in this context of an activation of the surface of the conductor. Another effect of the plasma treatment is to increase the microroughness of the surface of the conductor, which also has a positive effect on the adhesion of the coating. In order to prevent the reformation of an oxide layer on the surface of the conductor, at least part of the coating is applied to the surface of the conductor under a protective gas atmosphere, preferably under the same protective gas atmosphere under which the plasma treatment is carried out.
Um die eingangs gestellte Aufgabe zu lösen, ist daher in einem erfindungsgemäßen isolierten elektrischen Leiter vorgesehen, dass der isolierte elektrische Leiter einen elektrischen Leiter, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer oder Aluminium, mit einer isolierenden Beschichtung umfasst, wobei die Beschichtung zumindest eine, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff umfasst, und der isolierte elektrische Leiter durch ein Verfahren erhältlich ist, in dem der Leiter unter einer Schutzgasatmosphäre in einem Gas-Plasma mit Ionen des Schutzgases beschossen wird, um eine auf einer Oberfläche des Leiters ausgebildete Oxidschicht zu entfernen und/oder die Oberflächenenergie des Leiters zu erhöhen, und nachfolgend die Beschichtung auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht wird, wobei zumindest ein Teil der Beschichtung unter Schutzgasatmosphäre auf den Leiter aufgebracht wird.In order to solve the object set out above, it is therefore provided in an insulated electrical conductor according to the invention that the insulated electrical conductor comprises an electrical conductor, preferably of copper or aluminum, with an insulating coating, the coating comprising at least one, preferably outer, insulating layer thermoplastic material, and the insulated electrical conductor is obtainable by a method in which the conductor is bombarded with ions of the protective gas under a protective gas atmosphere in a gas plasma to remove an oxide layer formed on a surface of the conductor and / or the surface energy of the conductor, and subsequently the coating is applied to the surface of the conductor, wherein at least a part of the coating is applied under protective gas atmosphere on the conductor.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer isolierter elektrischer Leiter weist durch die unmittelbare Aufbringung einer Schicht der Beschichtung auf die plasmabehandelte, oxidfreie Oberfläche des Leiters besonders gute Haftungseigenschaften auf: Wird ein Rundumschnitt am Leiter senkrecht zu einer Leiterachse durchgeführt und der Leiter um 20% gedehnt so beträgt die Ablösung der Beschichtung vom Leiter in Richtung der Leiterachse gemessen lediglich maximal 3 mm, vorzugsweise maximal 2 mm, insbesondere maximal 1 mm.An inventive insulated electrical conductor has by the direct application of a layer of the coating on the plasma-treated, oxide-free surface of the conductor particularly good adhesion properties: If a wrap around the conductor perpendicular to a conductor axis carried out and the conductor stretched by 20% so the separation of the coating measured by the conductor in the direction of the conductor axis only a maximum of 3 mm, preferably a maximum of 2 mm, in particular a maximum of 1 mm.
Die Beschichtung kann dabei beispielsweise nur aus der äußeren Isolationsschicht bestehen oder aber eine oder mehrere Zwischenschichten aufweisen, die zwischen der Oberfläche des Leiters und der äußeren Isolationsschicht angeordnet sind. In beiden Fällen ist es auch denkbar, dass die Isolationsschicht nicht die äußerste Schicht bildet.The coating may consist, for example, only of the outer insulating layer or else have one or more intermediate layers, which are arranged between the surface of the conductor and the outer insulating layer. In In both cases, it is also conceivable that the insulating layer does not form the outermost layer.
Eine Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Leiter bis zum Aufbringen der Beschichtung durchgehend unter Schutzgasatmosphäre angeordnet ist, um die Ausbildung einer neuen Oxidschicht auf der Oberfläche des Leiters zu verhindern. Es können auch mehrere Schutzgasatmosphären hintereinander durchlaufen werden, solange der plasmabehandelte Leiter ununterbrochen unter einer der Schutzgasatmosphären angeordnet ist.An embodiment of the invention provides that the conductor is arranged continuously until the application of the coating under a protective gas atmosphere in order to prevent the formation of a new oxide layer on the surface of the conductor. It is also possible to pass through several inert gas atmospheres in succession, as long as the plasma-treated conductor is arranged uninterruptedly under one of the inert gas atmospheres.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass es sich bei dem Gas-Plasma zum Beschießen des Leiters um ein Niederdruckplasma, vorzugsweise mit einem Druck unter 80 mbar, handelt, welches sich in an sich bekannter Weise herstellen lässt. Beispielsweise sind Drücke unter 50 mbar oder sogar unter 20 mbar denkbar.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the gas plasma for bombarding the conductor is a low-pressure plasma, preferably having a pressure of less than 80 mbar, which can be produced in a manner known per se. For example, pressures below 50 mbar or even below 20 mbar are conceivable.
Um den Einsatz des isolierten elektrischen Leiters in einer Umgebung mit erhöhter Temperatur, beispielsweise in Elektromaschinen mit erhöhter Betriebstemperatur, zu ermöglichen, ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Beschichtung, insbesondere die Isolationsschicht, eine Temperaturbeständigkeit von zumindest 180°C, vorzugsweise von zumindest 200°C, insbesondere von zumindest 220°C, aufweist.In order to enable the use of the insulated electrical conductor in an environment with elevated temperature, for example in electric machines with increased operating temperature, is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the coating, in particular the insulating layer, a temperature resistance of at least 180 ° C, preferably of at least 200 ° C, in particular of at least 220 ° C, having.
Besonders gute Eigenschaften hinsichtlich der Temperaturbeständigkeit und der Beständigkeit gegen eine Vielzahl an organischen und chemischen Lösungsmittel, insbesondere auch gegen Hydrolyse, werden in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht Polyetheretherketon [PEEK] oder Polyphenylensulfid [PPS] umfasst und vorzugsweise eine Dicke zwischen 10 und bis 1000 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 25 µm und 750 µm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 30 µm und 500 µm, insbesondere zwischen 50 µm und 250 µm, aufweist. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass auch andere Schichtdicken denkbar sind, beispielsweise 40 µm, 60 µm, 80 µm, 100 µm oder 200 µm, um einige Möglichkeiten zu nennen. Besonders bevorzugt ist des dabei, wenn die Isolationsschicht aus Polyetheretherketon [PEEK] oder Polyphenylensulfid [PPS] besteht.Particularly good properties in terms of temperature resistance and resistance to a variety of organic and chemical solvents, especially against hydrolysis, are achieved in a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the, preferably outer, insulating layer polyetheretherketone [PEEK] or polyphenylene sulfide [PPS] comprises and preferably has a thickness of between 10 and 1000 μm, preferably between 25 μm and 750 μm, more preferably between 30 μm and 500 μm, in particular between 50 μm and 250 μm. It goes without saying that other layer thicknesses are conceivable are, for example, 40 microns, 60 microns, 80 microns, 100 microns or 200 microns, to name a few options. It is particularly preferred if the insulating layer consists of polyetheretherketone [PEEK] or polyphenylene sulphide [PPS].
Die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht lässt sich kostengünstig und schnell herstellen, wenn sie durch ein Extrusionsverfahren aufgebracht wird also aufextrudiert ist. Daher ist in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht mittels eines Extrusions-Verfahrens herstellbar ist.The, preferably outer, insulating layer can be produced cost-effectively and quickly if it is applied by an extrusion process, ie is extruded. Therefore, in a further preferred embodiment variant of the invention, it is provided that the, preferably outer, insulating layer can be produced by means of an extrusion method.
Eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen isolierten elektrischen Leiters ist dann möglich, wenn die Beschichtung aus der äußeren Isolationsschicht besteht und die Haftung der äußeren Isolationsschicht an der Oberfläche des Leiters durch die Plasmabehandlung bereits so gut ist, dass keine Zwischenschichten notwendig sind. Auch das Aufbringen weiterer Schichten auf die Isolationsschicht ist denkbar. Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht daher vor, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht ist.A particularly simple and cost-effective production of an insulated electrical conductor according to the invention is possible if the coating consists of the outer insulating layer and the adhesion of the outer insulating layer to the surface of the conductor by the plasma treatment is already so good that no intermediate layers are necessary. The application of further layers on the insulating layer is conceivable. A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention therefore provides that the, preferably outer, insulating layer is applied directly to the surface of the conductor.
In einer ersten alternativen Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist zur Verbesserung der Haftung der Beschichtung an der Oberfläche des Leiters vorgesehen, dass die Beschichtung eine unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebrachte Plasmapolymer-Schicht aus vernetzten Makromolekülen uneinheitlicher Kettenlänge aufweist, welche Plasmapolymer-Schicht durch Polymerisation eines gasförmigen Monomers in einem Gas-Plasma, vorzugsweise im Gas-Plasma zum Beschießen des Leiters, herstellbar ist. Die Plasmapolymer-Schicht dient als Zwischenschicht und haftet einerseits ausgezeichnet an der Oberfläche des Leiters und ermöglich andererseits eine erhöhte Haftung der auf die Plasmapolymer-Schicht aufgetragenen Schicht der Beschichtung.In a first alternative embodiment variant of the invention, in order to improve the adhesion of the coating to the surface of the conductor, it is provided that the coating has a plasma polymer layer of crosslinked macromolecules of non-uniform chain length applied directly to the surface of the conductor, which plasma polymer layer is polymerized by gaseous polymerization Monomers in a gas plasma, preferably in the gas plasma for bombarding the conductor, can be produced. The plasma polymer layer serves as an intermediate layer and, on the one hand, adheres excellently to the surface of the conductor and, on the other hand, allows increased adhesion of the coating layer applied to the plasma polymer layer.
Eine weitere Ausführungsvariante der ersten alternativen Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Plasmapolymer-Schicht eine Dicke von 1 µm oder weniger aufweist. Denkbar sind dabei Dicken bis zu einem Hundertstel eines Mikrometers als Untergrenze. Durch die geringe Schichtdicke wirkt sich die Plasmapolymer-Schicht nur unwesentlich auf die gesamte Dicke des isolierten elektrischen Leiters aus.A further embodiment variant of the first alternative embodiment provides that the plasma polymer layer has a thickness of 1 μm or less. It is conceivable thicknesses up to one hundredth of a micrometer as the lower limit. Due to the small layer thickness, the plasma polymer layer affects only insignificantly on the entire thickness of the insulated electrical conductor.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der ersten alternativen Ausführungsvariante handelt es sich bei dem Monomer zur Herstellung der Plasmapolymer-Schicht um Ethylen, Buthenol, Aceton oder Tetrafluormethan [CF4]. Die durch diese Monomere im Plasma gebildeten Plasmapolymer-Schichten zeichnen sich durch besonders gute Haftungseigenschaften aus. Insbesondere wenn die Plasmapolymer-Schicht ähnliche Eigenschaften wie Polytetrafluorethylen [PTFE] oder Perfluorethylenpropylen [FEP] aufweisen soll, bietet sich CF4 als Monomer an.According to a further embodiment variant of the first alternative embodiment variant, the monomer for producing the plasma polymer layer is ethylene, buthenol, acetone or tetrafluoromethane [CF 4 ]. The plasma polymer layers formed by these monomers in the plasma are distinguished by particularly good adhesion properties. In particular, if the plasma polymer layer should have similar properties as polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] or perfluoroethylene propylene [FEP], CF 4 is suitable as a monomer.
In einer zweiten alternativen Ausführungsvariante ist vorgesehen, dass die Beschichtung zumindest eine unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebrachte, vorzugsweise Polytetrafluorethylen [PTFE] oder Perfluorethylenpropylen [FEP] umfassende, Fluoropolymer-Schicht aufweist. Auch die Fluoropolymer-Schicht zeichnet sich durch hervorragende Haftungseigenschaften, sowohl am Leiter als auch an der auf der Fluoropolymer-Schicht aufgetragenen Schicht, aus und dient als Zwischenschicht der Beschichtung. Es ist auch denkbar, dass mehrere Fluoropolymer-Schichten übereinander auf den Leiter aufgebracht werden. Besonders vorteilhafte Haftungseigenschaften werden dadurch erreicht, dass die die Dicke der zumindest einen Fluoropolymer-Schicht zwischen 1 µm und 120 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 5 µm und 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 10 µm und 80 µm, insbesondere zwischen 20 µm und 50 µm, beträgt.In a second alternative embodiment variant, it is provided that the coating has at least one fluoropolymer layer which is applied directly to the surface of the conductor and preferably comprises polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] or perfluoroethylene propylene [FEP]. The fluoropolymer layer is also distinguished by excellent adhesion properties, both on the conductor and on the layer applied to the fluoropolymer layer, and serves as an intermediate layer of the coating. It is also conceivable that a plurality of fluoropolymer layers are applied one above the other to the conductor. Particularly advantageous adhesion properties are achieved in that the thickness of the at least one fluoropolymer layer is between 1 μm and 120 μm, preferably between 5 μm and 100 μm, more preferably between 10 μm and 80 μm, in particular between 20 μm and 50 μm ,
In einer dritten alternativen Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Beschichtung eine unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebrachte Metallschicht, vorzugsweise aus einer Zink- oder Zinnlegierung, aufweist. Dabei wird der Leiter durch ein Bad aus geschmolzenem Metall geführt, um die Metallschicht herzustellen. Auch die Metallschicht weist sehr gute Haftungseigenschaften auf und fungiert als tragende Zwischenschicht.In a third alternative embodiment of the invention it is provided that the coating applied directly to the surface of the conductor Metal layer, preferably of a zinc or tin alloy having. The conductor is passed through a bath of molten metal to make the metal layer. The metal layer also has very good adhesion properties and acts as a supporting intermediate layer.
Um die Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Schichten in der Beschichtung zu reduzieren und die damit verbundenen Herstellungskosten gering zu halten ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht unmittelbar auf die Plasmapolymer-Schicht oder die zumindest eine Fluoropolymer-Schicht oder die Metallschicht aufgebracht ist. In anderen Worten besteht die Beschichtung aus zumindest zwei Schichten: die erste untere, auf dem Leiter aufgebrachte Schicht entsprechend der ersten, zweiten oder dritten alternativen Ausführungsvariante und die zweite obere Schicht in Form der äußeren Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff wie PEEK oder PPS. Die äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung kann dabei entweder durch die äußere Isolationsschicht selbst ausgebildet sein oder aber durch eine oder mehrere weitere Schichten.In order to reduce the number of different layers in the coating and to keep the associated production costs low, it is provided in another embodiment of the invention that the, preferably outer, insulating layer directly on the plasma polymer layer or the at least one fluoropolymer layer or Metal layer is applied. In other words, the coating consists of at least two layers: the first lower, deposited on the conductor layer according to the first, second or third alternative embodiment and the second upper layer in the form of the outer insulating layer of thermoplastic material such as PEEK or PPS. The outermost layer of the coating can be formed either by the outer insulating layer itself or by one or more further layers.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch einen isolierten elektrischen Leiter umfassend einen elektrischen Leiter, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer oder Aluminium, mit einer isolierenden Beschichtung, wobei die Beschichtung zumindest eine, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus PEEK oder PPS, umfasst. Die Aufgabe wird dabei dadurch gelöst, dass eine auf einer Oberfläche des Leiters ausgebildete Oxidschicht entfernt ist, sodass zumindest eine Schicht der Beschichtung, vorzugsweise die äußere Isolationsschicht, unmittelbar auf der oxidschichtfreien Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht ist. Die zuvor beschriebenen Effekte der erhöhten Haftung der Beschichtung am Leiter treten auch in diesem erfindungsgemäßen isolierten elektrischen Leiter auf. Die Entfernung der Oxidschicht kann sowohl mittels einer Plasmabehandlung erfolgen oder aber mit chemischen Mitteln, etwa durch Säuren, entfernt werden. Die zuvor beschriebenen synergistischen Effekte treten jedoch nur bei einer Plasmabehandlung auf.The invention also relates to an insulated electrical conductor comprising an electrical conductor, preferably of copper or aluminum, with an insulating coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one, preferably outer, insulating layer of thermoplastic material, preferably of PEEK or PPS. The object is achieved in that an oxide layer formed on a surface of the conductor is removed, so that at least one layer of the coating, preferably the outer insulating layer, is applied directly to the oxide layer-free surface of the conductor. The above-described effects of the increased adhesion of the coating on the conductor also occur in this insulated electrical conductor according to the invention. The removal of the oxide layer can be done either by means of a plasma treatment or with be removed by chemical means, such as acids. However, the synergistic effects described above only occur in a plasma treatment.
Die Erfindung betrifft des weiteren ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines isolierten elektrischen Leiters, welches folgende Verfahrensschritte aufweist:
- Beschießen eines unter einer Schutzgasatmosphäre angeordneten elektrischen Leiters, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer oder Aluminium, mit Ionen des Schutzgases in einem Gas-Plasma, vorzugsweise einem Niederdruckplasma, um eine auf der Oberfläche des Leiters ausgebildete Oxidschicht zu entfernen und/oder die Oberflächenenergie des Leiters zu erhöhen;
- Aufbringen einer isolierenden Beschichtung auf die Oberfläche des elektrischen Leiters unter Schutzgasatmosphäre, wobei der Leiter bis dahin vorzugsweise durchgehend unter Schutzgasatmosphäre angeordnet ist, wobei die Beschichtung eine, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus PEEK oder PPS, umfasst.
- Bombarding an under an inert gas arranged electrical conductor, preferably made of copper or aluminum, with ions of the shielding gas in a gas plasma, preferably a low-pressure plasma to remove an oxide layer formed on the surface of the conductor and / or to increase the surface energy of the conductor;
- Applying an insulating coating to the surface of the electrical conductor under a protective gas atmosphere, wherein the conductor is arranged until then preferably continuously under a protective gas atmosphere, wherein the coating comprises a, preferably outer, insulating layer of thermoplastic material, preferably PEEK or PPS.
Der elektrische Leiter aus Kuper wird in Form eines Bandes oder eines Drahts dem Verfahren unterzogen. Dabei wird der elektrische Leiter entweder "in-line", also direkt anschließend an die Herstellung des elektrischen Leiters (etwa durch Kaltumformung oder Extrusion), entsprechend dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren behandelt oder aber der Leiter wird in aufgewickelter Form über einen Spulenablauf zur Verfügung gestellt. In der Regel wird der Leiter vor der Plasmabehandlung noch einer mechanischen und/oder chemischen Vorreinigung unterzogen. Die Plasmabehandlung wird analog zu den vorhergegangen Ausführungen durchgeführt, wobei der Leiter kontinuierlich durch die die Plasmabehandlung durchführende Plasmabehandlungs-Einheit gefördert wird. Durch die geeignete Wahl der Prozessparameter lässt sich die Dicke der durch die Plasmabehandlung vom Leiter angetragene Schicht genau einstellen. Zusätzlich dazu lässt sich auch die Temperatur für das Weichglühen und die damit verbundene Rekristallisation des Gefüges des Leiters definieren.The Kuper electrical conductor is subjected to the process in the form of a ribbon or wire. In this case, the electrical conductor is treated either "in-line", ie directly after the production of the electrical conductor (such as by cold forming or extrusion), according to the inventive method or the conductor is provided in a wound-up form via a coil sequence available. As a rule, the conductor is subjected to a mechanical and / or chemical pre-cleaning before the plasma treatment. The plasma treatment is carried out analogously to the previous embodiments, wherein the conductor is continuously conveyed through the plasma treatment unit performing the plasma treatment. By suitable choice of the process parameters, the thickness of the layer applied by the plasma treatment from the conductor can be precisely adjusted. In addition, the temperature for annealing and the associated recrystallization of the microstructure of the conductor can also be defined.
Nach der Plasmabehandlung, also dem Abtragen der Oxidschicht und jedweden Verunreinigungen von der Oberfläche des Leiters, wobei auch dünne Schichten der Oberfläche des Leiters selbst (kleiner als 1 µm, vorzugsweise kleiner 0,1 µm) abgetragen werden können, durch Beschuss mit Ionen im Gas-Plasma bzw. der Aktivierung der Oberfläche des Leiters, wird die Beschichtung auf die behandelte Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht. Die Beschichtung haftet aufgrund der Entfernung der Oxidschicht bzw. durch die Aktivierung der Oberfläche durch Erhöhung der Oberflächenenergie des Leiters besonders gut auf der Oberfläche des Leiters. Um die Ausbildung einer neuen Oxidschicht auf der Oberfläche des Leiters zu verhindern, welche den erfindungsgemäßen Effekt unterbinden oder zumindest entscheidend abschwächen würde, wird die Beschichtung unter Schutzgasatmosphäre aufgebracht. Insbesondere von Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn der elektrische Leiter bis zum Aufbringen der Beschichtung durchgehend unter Schutzgasatmosphäre angeordnet ist.After the plasma treatment, ie the removal of the oxide layer and any impurities from the surface of the conductor, wherein even thin layers of the surface of the conductor itself (less than 1 .mu.m, preferably less than 0.1 microns) can be removed by bombardment with ions in the gas Plasma or the activation of the surface of the conductor, the coating is applied to the treated surface of the conductor. The coating adheres particularly well on the surface of the conductor due to the removal of the oxide layer or by the activation of the surface by increasing the surface energy of the conductor. In order to prevent the formation of a new oxide layer on the surface of the conductor, which would prevent or at least significantly reduce the effect according to the invention, the coating is applied under a protective gas atmosphere. In particular, it is advantageous if the electrical conductor is arranged continuously until the application of the coating under a protective gas atmosphere.
Eine Ausführungsvariante des Verfahrens sieht vor, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht aufextrudiert wird, wobei der elektrische Leiter vorzugsweise vor der Extrusion, besonders bevorzugt auf zumindest 200°C, vorgewärmt, wird. Die Extrusion stellt ein kostengünstiges Verfahren zum Aufbringen der Isolationsschicht dar und eignet sich insbesondere auch für PEEK und PPS. Die Isolationsschicht lässt sich somit auch in einfacher Art und Weise als äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung aufbringen. Durch die Vorwärmung des Leiters, die vor allem vorteilhaft ist, wenn die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht direkt auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht wird, wird eine ruckartige Abkühlung des extrudierten Kunststoffs bei Kontakt mit dem Leiter reduziert und damit negative Einflüsse auf die Haftung minimiert. Besonders bevorzugt wird der Leiter auf zumindest 200°C, insbesondere auf über 300°C oder über 400°C, vorgewärmt, insbesondere wenn PEEK auf den Leiter aufextrudiert wird.A variant of the method provides that the, preferably outer, insulating layer is extruded, wherein the electrical conductor is preferably preheated prior to extrusion, more preferably to at least 200 ° C. Extrusion is a cost effective method for applying the insulation layer and is particularly suitable for PEEK and PPS. The insulating layer can thus be applied in a simple manner as outermost layer of the coating. By preheating the conductor, which is particularly advantageous when the, preferably outer, insulation layer is applied directly to the surface of the conductor, a jerky cooling of the extruded plastic is reduced upon contact with the conductor and thus minimizes negative influences on the adhesion. Particularly preferably, the conductor is preheated to at least 200 ° C, in particular to above 300 ° C or above 400 ° C, especially when PEEK is extruded onto the conductor.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der isolierte elektrische Leiter nach dem Aufextrudieren der, vorzugsweise äußeren, Isolationsschicht in Abhängigkeit der zu erreichenden Festigkeit der, vorzugsweise äußeren, Isolationsschicht abgekühlt wird. Die Einstellung der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Isolationsschicht, insbesondere der mechanischen Festigkeit, erfolgt unter anderem durch die definierte Abkühlung des isolierten Leiters und die dadurch bedingte Einstellung des Kristallisationsgrades und ist besonders wichtig, wenn es sich bei der Isolationsschicht um die äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung handelt. Wird der Leiter beispielsweise langsam abgekühlt, etwa durch Abkühlen an der Luft, ergibt sich eine hohe Kristallinität der Isolationsschicht. Denkbar ist auch ein Abschrecken in einem Wasserbad, also eine abrupte Abkühlung, oder eine Kombination aus abrupter und langsamer Abkühlung.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the insulated electrical conductor is cooled after the extrusion of the, preferably outer, insulating layer in dependence on the strength of the, preferably outer, insulating layer to be achieved. The adjustment of the mechanical properties of the insulating layer, in particular the mechanical strength, takes place inter alia by the defined cooling of the insulated conductor and the consequent adjustment of the degree of crystallization and is particularly important when the insulating layer is the outermost layer of the coating. If, for example, the conductor is cooled slowly, for example by cooling in the air, a high crystallinity of the insulation layer results. It is also conceivable quenching in a water bath, so an abrupt cooling, or a combination of abrupt and slow cooling.
Um die Haftung der Beschichtung am Leiter weiter zu verbessern, insbesondere wenn die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht direkt auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht wird, ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens vorgesehen, dass der isolierte elektrische Leiter nach dem Aufextrudieren der, vorzugsweise äußeren, Isolationsschicht über Rollen, vorzugsweise Anpressrollen, geführt wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn die Isolationsschicht die äußerste Schicht der Beschichtung bildet. Ein enges Führen des isolierten Leiters über die Anpressrollen unter Beaufschlagung des isolierten elektrischen Leiters mit Druck führt zu einer besonders guten Haftung der Beschichtung bzw. insbesondere der äußeren Isolationsschicht auf der Oberfläche des Leiters. Dabei werden die Grenzflächen der Beschichtung zwischen den einzelnen Schichten, sofern mehrere vorhanden sind, und/oder die Grenzfläche der untersten Schicht der Beschichtung und die Oberfläche des Leiters aneinander gepresst und so die Adhäsionseffekte verstärkt.In order to further improve the adhesion of the coating to the conductor, in particular when the, preferably outer, insulating layer is applied directly to the surface of the conductor, in a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention it is provided that the insulated electrical conductor after extrusion, preferably outer , Insulation layer on rollers, preferably pressure rollers, is performed. It is particularly advantageous if the insulating layer forms the outermost layer of the coating. Tight guiding of the insulated conductor via the pressure rollers under pressure of the insulated electrical conductor leads to a particularly good adhesion of the coating or, in particular, of the outer insulation layer on the surface of the conductor. In this case, the boundary surfaces of the coating between the individual layers, if several are present, and / or the interface of the lowermost layer of the coating and the surface of the conductor pressed together, thus enhancing the adhesion effects.
Wenn die Beschichtung zumindest eine Fluoropolymer-Schicht umfasst, die vorzugsweise unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des Leiters aufgebracht ist, lassen sich die zur Herstellung der Beschichtung benötigten Schritte dadurch reduzieren, dass die, vorzugsweise äußere, Isolationsschicht und die zumindest eine Fluoropolymer-Schicht mittels Ko- oder Tandemextrusion hergestellt werden. So können beide Schichten in nur einem einzigen Herstellungsschritt und mit einer Extrusions-Einheit hergestellt werden.When the coating comprises at least one fluoropolymer layer, preferably directly on the surface of the Conductor is applied, the steps required for the preparation of the coating can be reduced by the, preferably outer, insulating layer and the at least one fluoropolymer layer are prepared by co-or tandem extrusion. Thus, both layers can be produced in a single manufacturing step and with an extrusion unit.
Zur Verbesserung der Haftung der Beschichtung am Leiter ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante vorgesehen, dass unmittelbar auf der Oberfläche des elektrischen Leiters mittels Polymerisation eines gasförmigen Monomers in einem Gas-Plasma eine Plasmapolymer-Schicht aufgebracht wird oder dass unmittelbar auf der Oberfläche des elektrischen Leiters eine Metallschicht aufgebracht wird.In order to improve the adhesion of the coating to the conductor, it is provided in another embodiment that a plasma polymer layer is applied directly to the surface of the electrical conductor by polymerization of a gaseous monomer in a gas plasma or a metal layer directly on the surface of the electrical conductor is applied.
Da eine hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit und eine hohe Haftung der Beschichtung am elektrischen Leiter insbesondere im Elektromaschinenbau von Bedeutung ist, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass ein erfindungsgemäßer isolierter elektrischer Leiter als Wickeldraht für Elektromaschinen, vorzugsweise Elektromotoren oder Transformatoren, verwendet wird.Since high temperature resistance and high adhesion of the coating to the electrical conductor, in particular in electrical engineering, is of importance, the invention provides that an inventive insulated electrical conductor is used as a winding wire for electrical machines, preferably electric motors or transformers.

Der elektrische Leiter 1 wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Band oder Draht über einen Spulenablauf 7 stetig dem Verfahren zugeführt und kann etwa mittels Kaltumformungsverfahren, wie Ziehen oder Walzen, oder Extrusion, beispielsweise mittels Conform® - Technologie, hergestellt sein. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch "in-line" durchgeführt werden kann, also direkt an den Herstellungsprozess anschließt. In einem ersten Schritt wird der elektrische Leiter 1 in einer Vorreinigungs-Einheit 8 mechanisch, etwa mittels eines Schleifverfahrens, oder chemisch, etwa mittels geeigneter Lösungsmittel oder Säuren, vorgereinigt, um grobe Verschmutzungen vom Leiter 1 zu entfernen.The
Im nächsten Verfahrensschritt gelangt der vorgereinigte Leiter 1 in eine Plasmabehandlungs-Einheit 9 in der eine Schutzgasatmosphäre aus Stickstoff, Argon oder Wasserstoff vorherrscht und ein Gas-Plasma in Form eines Niederdruckplasmas mit weniger als 20 mbar Druck hergestellt ist. Ein Niederdruckplasma kann jedoch auch schon bei einem Druck von weniger als 80 mbar hergestellt werden. In diesem Niederdruckplasma wird die Oberfläche des Leiters 1 mit Ionen des Schutzgases beschossen, um eine auf einer Oberfläche des Leiters 1 gebildete Oxidschicht abzutragen bzw. zu entfernen. Gleichzeitig wird der Leiter 1 durch die Plasmabehandlung weich geglüht und die Oberflächenenergie des Leiters 1 erhöht also die Oberfläche aktiviert.In the next process step, the
Durch das Abtragen der Oxidschicht und jedweden Verunreinigungen von der Oberfläche des Leiters 1, wobei sogar vorgesehen sein kann, dass sehr dünne Schichten von der des Leiters 1 selbst von der Oberfläche -abgetragen werden, und die Erhöhung der Oberflächenenergie kann die Haftung zwischen dem elektrischen Leiter 1 aus Kupfer und der auf dem Leiter 1 aufgebrachten Beschichtung entscheidend verbessert werden.By ablating the oxide layer and any contaminants from the surface of the

Um die erhöhte Haftung zwischen dem Leiter 1 und der äußeren Isolationsschicht 3 zu erreichen, gelangt der Leiter 1 nach dem Durchlaufen der Plasmabehandlungs-Einheit 9 in die Extrusions-Einheit 12 in der die äußere Isolationsschicht 3 auf den Leiter 1 aufextrudiert wird. Dabei wird der Leiter 1 auf eine Temperatur von zumindest 200°C, vorzugsweise zumindest 300°C, vorgeheizt. Um die erneute Ausbildung einer Oxidschicht zu verhindern, erfolgt sowohl die Extrusion als auch der Transport des Leiters 1 in die Extrusions-Einheit 12 unter Schutzgasatmosphäre. Ein derart hergestellter isolierter elektrischer Leiter kann beispielsweise als Wickeldraht, im Englischen auch als "magnet wire" geläufig, in einer Elektromaschine, wie einem Elektromotor oder einem Transformator, eingesetzt werden.
