The invention relates to a preparation method of flake silver-plated
copper powder, which comprises four steps of pre-treating, silver plating, desorbing and post-treating, and concretely comprises the following steps: performing ball milling on
copper powder to obtain flake
copper powder under
inert-gas shielding; in a chelating agent / dispersing agent
compound system, performing chemical replacement for silver plating by an
aluminum nitrate and
silver nitrate compound system; reducing the residual silver ions in the solution by a
reducing agent; washing by an
acid water solution; and performing ball milling at
low speed under the
inert atmosphere shielding for spreading the
silver particles on the surface of the silver-plated copper powder, thereby densifying and homogenizing the silver layer, simultaneously increasing the
bonding strength of the silver and the copper, and improving the
conductivity and
oxidation resistance of the silver-plated copper powder. The method of the invention has the characteristics of
environmental protection, simple process, low cost and the like, and can obtain flake silver-plated copper powder with low silver plating content, good
conductivity, even plating and strong
oxidation resistance. The flake silver-plated copper powder prepared by the method can be used as conductive filler for manufacturing and
processing products such as paint, rubber,
adhesive and the like with
high conductivity, and has wide application prospect.
