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.
