Abstract

The invention discloses a copper-aluminium-base electric contact composite material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 50-65% of copper, 25-40% of aluminium, 5-10% of silver, 1-5% of tin, 1-3% of boron carbide and 0.05-1% of lanthanum-rich or cerium-rich mixed rare earth; making the mixed rare earth and the copper into mixed-rare-earth-copper powder; mixing the copper powder, the aluminium powder and the tin powder in a ball mill mode; and cold-press-molding the powder, sintering, secondary molding, secondary sintering, and cooling to prepare the copper-aluminium-base electric contact composite material blank. The invention selects copper and aluminium as the base; copper and aluminium have the advantages of low price and abundant resources; and the electric conductivity, the heat conductivity, the fusion welding resistance, the current erosion and the frictional characteristic of the copper and the aluminium meet the requirements for electric contact material bases. The copper-aluminium-base electric contact composite material of the invention has the advantages of strong fusion welding resistance, favorable oxidation resistance and favorable wear resistance, thereby being a low-price substitute for silver alloy electric contacts which are frequently used in low-voltage and medium-voltage switches.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical contact composite material used for medium and low-voltage electrical switches, in particular to a copper-aluminum base electrical contact composite material. Background technique [0002] The weak current contact element is a key part of the instrument, which plays an important role in the life and reliability of the instrument. In order to ensure the reliability of the weak current contact, precious metal silver and its alloy materials are widely used at home and abroad. In recent years, in order to reduce the loss of silver metal, people are constantly seeking new ways of saving and replacing silver. [0003] The Chinese patent application No. 2007100165042 discloses a weak current copper-based electrical contact composite material and its preparation method, which uses copper-based as the basic material. By adding a certain amount of rare earth materials and other materials to the copper-based material to imp...
