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.
