Abstract

Abstract: The surface of Al-Mg alloy powder was treated by BTSPS(bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide) in order to avoid easy oxidation in air. The pH value, reaction temperature, reaction time, and reaction concentration were used as test conditions. The results show that the BTSPS can form a protected film on the surface of Al-Mg alloy powder. Select the best test solution by orthogonal test. The study found that the reaction time and reaction temperature have the biggest influence on the two indexes of the orthogonal test (melting enthalpy of heat and enthalpy of oxidation). The optimal conditions were as follows: pH value is 8, reaction concentration is 2%, reaction temperature is 25 °C, reaction time is 2 h. The oxidation weight gain of the alloy reached 74.45% and the decomposition temperature of silane film is 181.8 °C.
