A nano-
tungsten carbide silver contact material and a preparation method thereof, wherein the 
tungsten carbide silver contact material is mainly composed of 
tungsten carbide powder, 
nickel powder, silver 
powder and 
stearic acid powder and is ball-milled to obtain a nano-WC / Ag composite powder,  After reduction, pressing, 
sintering, re-pressing, and re-firing, nano-
tungsten carbide silver 
electrical contacts are obtained. The weight ratio of 
tungsten carbide to silver is 40-80:20-60, and the particle size of the 
tungsten carbide phase is 50-500nm;  The addition of the 
nickel powder is 0-2% of the 
mass percentage of the tungsten carbide powder; the addition of the 
stearic acid powder is 0.5-5% of the 
mass percentage of the tungsten carbide-silver-
nickel mixed powder; the preparation method is:  Weigh tungsten carbide powder and nickel powder, 
cemented carbide balls and 
alcohol according to the proportion and place them in a planetary high-energy 
ball mill for 12-72 hours. Take out the mixed powder and dry it, mix it with silver powder and 
stearic acid powder in a specific proportion and place it on a planetary 
ball mill.  Milled in a high-energy 
ball mill for another 6-24 hours, the nano-WC / Ag composite powder obtained after ball milling is processed by reduction, pressing, 
sintering, re-pressing, and re-
sintering to obtain uniform structure, 
high density, high 
hardness, and good electrical 
conductivity.  , Nano-tungsten carbide silver 
electrical contacts with good anti-
welding properties.
