The invention discloses a method for synergistically improving the arc ablation performance of a CuW contact material. The method comprises the steps that firstly, spherical electrolytic copper powderis rolled into a sheet, then reduced tungsten powder is added for ball milling, even mixing is conducted, and tungsten-copper modified mixed powder is obtained; secondly, expanded graphite is sequentially subjected to low temperature intercalation oxidation, medium temperature intercalation oxidation and high temperature intercalation oxidation, and graphene oxide is obtained; thirdly, the tungsten-copper mixed powder and the graphene oxide are added into an ethanol-water mixed solution to be mixed evenly, drying is conducted, graphene oxide/tungsten-copper composite powder is obtained and then subjected to low-temperature thermal reduction, and reduced graphene oxide/tungsten-copper composite powder is obtained; and fourthly, the reduced graphene oxide/tungsten-copper composite powder issubjected to discharge plasma liquid phase sintering, and the CuW contact material is obtained. The graphene oxide is added into the tungsten-copper modified mixed powder, thermal reduction is conducted at first, the reduced graphene oxide is obtained, then discharge plasma liquid phase sintering is conducted, tungsten carbide nanoparticles are generated, and the arc ablation performance and mechanical performance of the CuW contact material are synergistically strengthened through the reduced graphene oxide and the tungsten carbide nanoparticles.
