The invention relates to a high-performance silver cadmium oxide material and a manufacturing method thereof, which are characterized in that the silver cadmium oxide material comprises the following components: 85 to 97 percent of silver, 2 to 15 percent of cadmium, 0.01 to 0.5 percent of nickel, 0.01 to 1 percent of tin and 0.01 to 0.5 percent of rear earth mixture. The manufacturing method of the high-performance silver cadmium oxide material is characterized in that: a given quantity of silver, cadmium, nickel, tin and rare earth mixture are measured to be arranged inside a middle-frequency induction furnace to be smelted and cast, the cast ingot is extruded by an extruding machine to be thick wires, the thick wires are stretched by a wire-drawing die to be thin wires, the thin wires are pre-oxidized by an internal oxidization furnace, then the thin wires are cut and preformed and finally is processed and formed. The anti-oxidization performance, electric-arc burning loss resistance and the abrasion resistance of the silver cadmium oxide material are improved, and the service life is prolonged, so the high-performance silver cadmium oxide material can be applied to different working environments, has low production cost, simple manufacturing method and low requirements on the device and the production.
