TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of conductive repair, in particular to a conductive repair material, a repair structure and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The conductive repair of the contact points of power equipment such as cable joints, knife switches and transformers needs to use a conductive repair material. The traditional conductive repair material is usually mainly composed of silver, a carbon carrier and a resin. The silver nanoparticles provide high conductivity, the carbon carrier constructs a conductive network, and the electronic tunneling effect restores the conductive path. However, the traditional conductive repair material has the following defects: 1. Poor conductive stability: due to the easy migration and aggregation of nano-silver particles, the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the epoxy resin matrix and the carbon carrier is large, and the interface peels off, resulting in the fracture of the conductive network of the traditional conductive repair material after thermal cycling (-40℃~120℃), and the contact resistance increases by >30% (for example, the resistance of a certain power grid increases from 0.01Ω to 0.13Ω after half a year of repair); 2. Failure in high temperature, high humidity and high pollution environment: in a humid environment (RH>85%), silver will be oxidized (Ag→Ag2O), the conductivity will decrease by >50%, and high temperature (>100℃) environment will cause resin degradation and adhesion loss ≥2 grades (ASTM D3359); at the same time, silver has high chemical activity and is easy to react with H2O / O2 to generate insulating oxides, and the resin has poor weather resistance and will hydrolyze and break the chain in a humid and hot environment; 3. Complex construction and high cost: the existing conductive repair material usually needs to be cured at high temperature (>150℃) or coated in a vacuum, and the qualified rate of field power repair is <60%; the high content of silver (>70wt%) leads to high cost; 4. Short service life: silver ions are easy to dissolve and migrate, and Ag2S insulating layer is generated in a sulfide environment (H2S), which shortens the service life by >70%. SUMMARY
