A method for producing silver-
tungsten carbide contact material, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: S1: Adding
tungsten carbide powder and a
silver nitrate solution into a reaction vessel, followed by adding
polyethylene glycol into the reaction vessel, vibrating and stirring with ultrasonics so that they are evenly mixed; then vibrating and stirring with ultrasonics, Adding a
sodium hydroxide solution to the reaction vessel until the pH of the solution reaches 8 to 9, then further vibration and stirring with
ultrasound so that they are evenly mixed, then an ultrasonic stirring is obtained, gradually adding a
dextrose solution into the reaction vessel at a rate of 0.5-2 L / min, further vibrating and stirring with
ultrasound, After complete
precipitation of the silver ions in the solution, carrying out a reduction reaction,
coating the precipitated silver on the
tungsten carbide powder to form a composite
powder of the
tungsten carbide coated by the silver, wherein the concentration of the
dextrose solution is 30-300 g / L, wherein the molecular weight of the
polyethylene glycol is 500-20000, the addition amount being 7-12% of the
mass of the
tungsten carbide powder; where the average particle size of the
tungsten carbide powder is 0.5-8 µm, where the
solid-
liquid ratio of the tungsten carbide powder and the
silver nitrate solution is 5-70 g / L, wherein the thickness of the silver layer of the composite powder of the tungsten carbide coated with silver is 10-200 nm, where the dosage of the
silver nitrate solution is converted by the dosage of the silver, and where the dosage m Agof silver is calculated using the following formula: m A g = m WC ρ A g ρ WC × 6 d 3 × ( 4 3 x 3 + xd 3 + 2 dx 2 ) , where m WC the total
mass of tungsten carbide, p Ag the density of silver, p WC is the density of the tungsten carbide and d is the average particle size of the tungsten carbide powder, and where the unit for d is in µm and x is the density of the silver layer in the composite powder of the tungsten carbide coated by the silver; S2: Mixing the composite powder of the silver-coated tungsten carbide with the silver powder and pressing it into a compact; S3: Placing the compact prepared in S2 and a silver block in a
sintering furnace protected by the
ammonia decomposition atmosphere and performing
sintering and infiltration to obtain a silver-tungsten carbide contact material.
