Problems solved by technology

[0005] From the above process of preparing copper-chromium contact materials, it can be seen that the chromium powder needs to be pre-formed. The forming process is generally completed by uniformly adding molding agents and hydraulic presses, and pre-sintering is carried out before high-temperature copper infiltration to improve the copper-chromium contact. Comprehensive performance of materials, pre-sintering is completed by relying on vacuum sintering furnace, resulting in disadvantages such as high production cost and large energy consumption

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a copper-chromium infiltration contact material through spark plasma sintering. The method comprises the steps of step 1, pouring chromium powder into a graphite mould, reducing the powder, putting the reduced powder into a plasma sintering furnace, carrying out vacuum pumping and pressurization, introducing a pulse direct current, increasing the temperature to 1050 to 1380 DEG C, maintaining the temperature for 2.5 to 5 min, and cooling along with the furnace; step 2, taking a copper block, polishing, carrying out ultrasonic cleaning, drying, carrying out laser radiation and scanning through laser, and carrying out plasma treatment to obtain a copper infiltration block; step 3, putting a chromium skeleton into a graphite boat, putting the copper infiltration block on the chromium skeleton, filling the surrounding places with corundum powder, putting the graphite boat into a high-temperature sintering furnace with the protective gas atmosphere, increasing the temperature to 1150 to 1300 DEG C, and maintaining the temperature for 40 to 60 min to obtain a copper-chromium sintered body; and step 4, carrying out vacuum pumping and hot pressing on the copper-chromium sintered body under the conditions that the pressure is 50 to 100 MPa and the temperature is 800 to 850 DEG C, and cooling to the room temperature to obtain the copper-chromium contact material. The production method has the advantage that the production cycle is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical contact preparation, in particular to a method for preparing an infiltrated copper-chromium contact material by spark plasma sintering. Background technique [0002] The heart element of the high-voltage switch achieves the purpose of transmitting, receiving, disconnecting and controlling energy through its breaking and connecting. Under the joint action of high voltage, high current and high temperature arc, the operation reliability, durability and stability of high-voltage electrical contacts are the key factors affecting the service life, safety and reliability of switches and the stability of power grid. [0003] Copper chromium contacts have strong arc resistance, especially during the opening and closing process of circuit breakers, arcs will be generated, and a large amount of energy will act on the contacts. Therefore, burning-resistant materials are an important condition to ensure th...
