The invention relates to a pulse plating method of an Ag-Ni alloy for an electric contact material, and the pulse plating method comprises the following steps: sanding, washing a surfactant to remove oil, washing, activating, washing, performing pulse plating, washing and blow-drying, wherein a plating solution consists of 0.3-0.6mol/L NiSO4.6H2O, 0.03mol/L AgCH3SO3, 1.5mol/L KI, 20g/L H3BO3 and 10g/L H2NCONH2. The parameters of the pulse plating are as follows: the frequency is 700Hz, the duty cycle is 20%, the dual-pulse ratio is (12-14):1, the current density is (0.25-0.6)A/dm<2>, and the temperature is 30-40 DEG C. By adopting the method provided by the invention, the nickel content of the prepared Ag-Ni alloy is 20-30%, the plating hardness is high, the wear resistance is good, and the Ag-Ni alloy is an excellent electric contact material.
