AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the performance advantages of the current copper-based contact materials cannot be fully utilized in the actual use direction
Meanwhile, although the two phases are interconnected in three-dimensional space, the path of communication in either direction is very narrow and tortuous, thus failing to achieve good electrical and thermal conductivity.
In addition, the poor spatial connectivity of the matrix phase also restricts the plasticity and toughness of copper-based contact materials to a large extent, making the contact material significantly brittle compared with the matrix phase, thus limiting its practical effect and application range

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of metal-based composite materials, in particular to a copper-based contact material with a microscopic directional structure and a preparation method thereof. The material is composed of a matrix phase (copper or copper alloy) and a second phase (chromium, chromium alloy, tungsten carbide or silicon carbide) with a mass fraction of 5% to 85%, and the two phases alternate along the freezing direction of the preparation process microscopically. arrangement. The material is prepared through the technological process of slurry preparation, freeze casting, vacuum freeze drying, organic matter removal, skeleton sintering and skeleton infiltration, and the content of the two phases in the material is controlled by adjusting the ratio of the slurry. The copper-based contact material of the present invention has good plasticity and toughness and high-temperature mechanical properties, especially exhibits excellent electrical and thermal conductivity along the direction of the microstructure, so it is expected to significantly improve the use effect of the contact and reduce energy consumption.

Description
