Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a Ti3SiC2 reinforced Ag-based electric contact material. The preparation method is characterized in that the composite material consists of a Ti3SiC2 reinforced phase and an Ag matrix, wherein the mass percentage of Ti3SiC2 is 1-40%. The preparation method comprises the following specific preparation steps: weighing Ti3SiC2 powder and Ag powder in proportion; then ball-milling and mixing for 5-120 minutes by a wet process; after drying the powder, molding the powder under the pressure of 100-800 MPa in a cold pressing manner to obtain a green body; and then sintering the green body for 1-12 hours at the temperature of 700-1,100 DEG C in an inert atmosphere or a vacuum environment, and cooling in a furnace to obtain the Ti3SiC2 reinforced Ag-based electric contact composite material. The Ag-based composite material prepared by the preparation method is uniform in structure, high in compactness and excellent in conductivity. Moreover, the method is simple in process, low in cost and environmentally friendly, and has great significance on preparation of high-performance electric contact materials.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a metal matrix composite material, namely Ti 3 SiC 2 A method for preparing a reinforced Ag-based electrical contact material. Background technique

[0002] Electric contacts are contact elements of electrical switches, instruments and meters, etc., and are mainly responsible for connecting and breaking circuits and load currents. In the modern electrical and electronic industries, the requirements for the stability, reliability, lifespan, and ecological environmental protection of electrical contact materials are gradually increasing. The traditional Ag-CdO material has excellent properties such as wear resistance, welding resistance, and arc erosion resistance, but the Cd vapor generated during use will cause harm to the ecological environment and the human body (Dev S C, et al.J Mater Sci, 1993, 28(24):6540-6544.). Ag-SnO 2 The material has excellent arc erosion resistance, wear resistance, welding resistance an...
