Problems solved by technology

When copper is used as an electrical contact material, under the action of contact resistance and arc, the temperature of the contact surface rises sharply, and the cuprous oxide on the contact surface is converted into copper oxide (CuO), forming an oxide film that is not easy to conduct electricity. resulting in electrical contact failure

Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing Cu alloy electrical contact material with good antioxidant property. The alloy is composed of rare earth (at least one selected from La, Ce and Yt elements), boron, aluminum, silver, conductive ceramic (TiN2 and/or SnO2), diamond powder and copper. The alloy is processed by powdering, mechanical mixing, isostatic pressing, sintering, extrusion and shaping steps, to make various electrical contact elements. With the inventive method, the produced electrical contact element can overcome the disadvantage of poor antioxidant capability of the prior Cu alloy electrical contact elements, and can be used to replace the silver alloy electrical contact in the field of low-voltage electrical apparatuses, thereby solving the problems of the silver alloy electrical contact, such as high cost due to noble metal silver and bad influence on social sustainable development.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing technology of electrical alloy materials, mainly the manufacture of copper alloy electrical contact materials. Background technique [0002] Copper alloys are usually manufactured by smelting or powder metallurgy methods, and copper alloy electrical contact materials for low-voltage electrical appliances are often manufactured by powder metallurgy methods. [0003] Copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, second only to silver. At room temperature, the electrical conductivity of copper is 94% of that of silver, and its thermal conductivity is 73.2% of that of silver. However, copper is much cheaper than silver. Therefore, in electrical contact materials Replacing silver alloys with copper alloys can save precious metal silver, reduce product costs, and achieve sustainable social development. [0004] But copper has a big disadvantage, that is, the surface of copper is easil...
