Abstract

The invention relates to an electric contact material made of silver-tungsten carbide graphite and a preparation method thereof. The electric contact material comprises the following main components in percentage by weight: 11%-14% of tungsten carbide-zirconium carbide solid solution, 2%-6% of graphite, 0.3%-0.6% of additive and the balance of silver, wherein the added element is one or the combination of Ti, Co and Cr. The tungsten carbide and the zirconium carbide are added in form of solid solution with the ratio of (6:4)-(9:1). Compared with the traditional electric contact made of silver-tungsten carbide graphite, the electric contact material has higher welding resistance, electric arc burning resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance. A low-voltage electric appliance adopting the electric contact material has lower contact resistance, longer electric service life and high reliability. Therefore, the novel electric contact material with high reliability is more suitable for being applied in various different plastic-shell circuit breakers, small high-interruption circuit breakers and alternating-current contactors.
