Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, this technical solution has the following problems: First, component segregation is prone to occur, that is, in the sintered copper alloy, the added elements such as rare earth, chromium, zirconium or niobium may still exist in a simple state
The bonding ability between these two different substances is poor; the wear resistance and welding resistance of the electrical contact material will be greatly reduced after long-term use

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation process of powder metallurgy material, in particular to high-performance copper-diamond electrical contact material and a preparation process thereof. The high-performance copper-diamond electrical contact material comprises the following raw materials by weight percentage: 0.001%-5.0% of diamond powder and 95%-99.999% of copper alloy powder, wherein the grain size of the diamond powder is 0.1-15 mum, and the surface of the diamond powder is coated with copper. The preparation process of the high-performance copper-diamond electrical contact material comprises the following steps: (1) preparing the raw materials: preparing the copper alloy powder by using a high-pressure spray method, preparing the copper-coated diamond powder by using a liquid-phase reduction method and mixing the copper alloy powder and the copper-coated diamond powder; (2) preparing the electrical contact material: firstly, carrying out thermal diffusion treatment to the mixture of the copper alloy powder and the copper-coated diamond powder, sintering the compressed and moulded mixture in vacuum, and thermally extruding and moulding the mixture; and (3) preparing electrical contact sectional material: rolling or drawing and machining the copper-diamond electric contact into the required-size sectional material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a powder metallurgy material and a manufacturing process thereof, in particular to a high-performance copper-diamond electric contact material and a manufacturing process thereof. Background technique [0002] Electric contacts are contact elements of electrical switches, instruments, etc.; they are mainly responsible for connecting and disconnecting circuits and load currents; their performance directly affects the reliability and service life of electrical switches and instruments. At present, silver-based electrical contact materials are the main materials; however, silver-based electrical contacts are expensive and the production cost is high. For this reason, people choose copper with strong electrical and thermal conductivity and low price to replace silver as the material of electrical contacts. [0003] Chinese patent (CN1787137A) discloses a copper-diamond electrical contact material with a trace amount of silver adde...
