The invention discloses a silver
tin oxide /
copper rivet type electrical contact and a preparation method thereof, the
point contact comprises a nail head and a nail
tail, the
bus shapes of the nail head and the nail
tail are cylindrical, and the nail head is composed of a nail
head surface layer and a nail head bottom layer;
cylindrical array structures are uniformly distributed on the
surface layer of the nail head; the material of the nail
head surface layer is Ag-xSnO2-yM, the content of x is 5-8 wt.%, the content of y is 2-3 wt.%, and M is one of
lanthanum,
antimony and
cerium; the material of the nail head bottom layer is Cu-zSn, and the content of z is 5-10 wt.%; and the nail
tail is made of Cu. According to the method, the high-performance
rivet type electrical contact with high
hardness, low resistivity and long service life can be prepared, the
hardness is improved by more than 20% compared with that of a conventional electrical contact, the
hardness of the material is greatly improved, the resistivity is reduced, the service life of the electrical contact is prolonged, and meanwhile the method has the advantages of being simple in process, suitable for
mass production and the like.
