Abstract

Abstract Anodized oxide technology is a traditional surface treatment method used in the material engineering field to enhance the friction, anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and insulation properties of Al-based samples. Considering the anti-icing and insulation performance, anodized oxide technology has great application prospects in overhead transmission lines. In this study, the preparation process of Aluminum (Al) flat plates and Aluminum Cable Steel-Reinforce (ACSR) was explored by using anodizing technology to obtain superhydrophobic properties. Moreover, as the significant performance in the application of transmission lines, the mechanical performance (tensile strength) of Al conductors was evaluated to study the impact of anodized oxidation technology. The results show that anodized oxide technology can improve the tensile strength of aluminum clad steel bars and aluminum-stranded wires in ACSRs. In addition, the hydrophobicity and anti-icing performance of anodized wires can demonstrate potential application prospects in the field of anti-icing.
