Laminating base plate for boring and preparing method thereof

The invention discloses a laminating base plate for boring and a preparing method thereof. The preparing method comprises the step that the laminating base plate for boring is formed by laminating and pressing surface paper and inside paper, wherein the surface paper is formed by soaking wood pulp paper with phenolic resin and the inside paper is formed by soaking brown paper soaked with urea resin or modified urea resin. The surface paper used by the base plate for boring and having well waterproofness can prevent the warping abnormity of the base plate caused by the temperature and humidity change of the environment and the flatness of the base plate is ensured; in addition, chip removal is not affected due to heating and adhesion in the small-aperture boring process of the base plate and the hole wall quality of a boring hole is improved. The attribution of the material of the base plate is superior to that of the urea resin and is close to that of a phenolic aldehyde base plate, and the cost of the base plate is lower than that of the phenolic aldehyde base plate, so the laminating base plate for boring has higher competitiveness.

Due to the presence of the organic dispersing agent, the resulting silver (+1)-oxide species is thermally instable, thus the species is decomposing to metallic silver at temperature lower than 100° C. The process optionally may comprise the addition of a powdered compound selected from the group of inorganic oxides, metals, and carbon-based compounds. Furthermore the process may contain additional separating and drying steps. The process is versatile, cost efficient and environmentally friendly and is used for the manufacture of silver-based particles and electrical contact materials.
