Description

Preparation method of silver tin oxide contact material for improving sintering property of ingot blank
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a silver tin oxide contact, in particular to a preparation method of a silver tin oxide contact material for improving the sintering property of an ingot blank.
Background
The electric contact is a core component of various high and low switches, electric appliances, instruments and meters and components, and is widely applied to high-capacity alternating current and direct current contactors, alternating current and direct current power relays, automobile electric appliances and medium and small-capacity low-voltage circuit breakers in the industrial fields of aerospace, aviation, automobiles and the like and the civil industry. Electrical contacts are of a wide variety and are commonly used in silver-based alloys and copper-based alloys. Among silver-based alloys, silver cadmium oxide contact materials have good arc wear resistance, fusion welding resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, and are called "universal contact materials" because of low contact resistance and high stability. However, the silver cadmium oxide material has the harm of cadmium toxicity in the production, use and recovery processes, so the development and development of novel environment-friendly materials with good electrical contact performance become the hot topic in the field.
Silver tin oxide (AgSnO)2) The contact material has good fusion welding resistance and arc ablation resistance, is nontoxic and environment-friendly, and is the most promising contact material for replacing silver cadmium oxide. The methods for preparing silver tin oxide contact materials are roughly classified into powder metallurgy (e.g., patent publications CN101202169A and CN 101649399A), internal oxidation (e.g., patent publications CN1042010208A and CN 103700544A), chemical coprecipitation (e.g., patent publication CN 102528055A), and atomization. Among them, the powder metallurgy method and the internal oxidation method are the mainstream preparation methods of the silver tin oxide contact material. However, these methods have drawbacks: powder metallurgy processThe prepared material has low density, large contact resistance and high temperature; the surface and the internal structure of the material prepared by the internal oxidation method are not uniform, the oxide particles are seriously aggregated, and a lean oxidation layer is arranged in the middle; the chemical coprecipitation method has the problems of complex process, chemical pollution generated in the preparation process and the like. The atomization method process combines the advantages of a powder metallurgy method and an internal oxidation method, is suitable for mass production, has good application prospect, but improves the production efficiency of the silver tin oxide and brings some defects, such as difficult powder oxidation and sintering, poor processing performance and the like.
The traditional process flow of the atomization method is roughly as follows: smelting, atomizing to prepare powder, oxidizing alloy powder, isostatic pressing, sintering, hot extrusion, drawing and finally preparing the finished product. Wherein SnO is generated in the oxidation stage of alloy powder2Has a thermodynamic stability higher than that of Ag2Because of O, Sn is oxidized preferentially to Ag. SnO2Segregation occurs on the surface of powder particles, and the contact and diffusion of Ag among the powder are hindered in the subsequent sintering process, so that the problems of difficult sintering of a blank, poor processing performance and the like are caused.
By searching the prior art, the invention patent with the publication number of CN101707153A discloses a preparation method of a fine-particle tin oxide reinforced silver-based electrical contact material. The method comprises the steps of firstly, sieving AgSn alloy powder and an additive, then placing the AgSn alloy powder and the additive into a high-energy ball mill, carrying out ball milling in an oxygen-gas atmosphere, enabling the pre-oxidation and ball milling dispersion processes of the AgSn alloy powder to be carried out synchronously, then carrying out annealing treatment and isostatic pressing forming on the powder after ball milling, sintering an obtained blank in the oxygen atmosphere, and finally carrying out hot pressing, re-sintering and hot extrusion on the sintered blank to obtain the strip or wire. The invention points out that the mechanical alloying is combined with a high-pressure normal-temperature pre-oxidation method, so that the surface of fresh AgSn alloy powder is continuously exposed in the mechanical alloying process, thereby promoting the AgSn alloy powder to be continuously combined with oxygen and accelerating the oxidation process under huge high-energy impact; and oxidation of the obtained SnO2The particles are dispersed in the Ag matrix. However, it is well known to those skilled in the art that high energy ball milling under oxygen pressure tends to agglomerate the AgSn alloy powder with additives, thereby affecting the materialUniformity of texture.
The invention patent with the publication number of CN101202169A discloses a method for manufacturing a novel silver tin oxide wire material electric contact material. The method comprises the steps of melting raw materials of silver, tin and additives in a certain proportion in a medium-frequency smelting furnace, carrying out high-pressure alloy atomization through a high-pressure water atomization device, drying and oxidizing and tempering atomized alloy powder, forming an isostatic pressing ingot blank through isostatic pressing, sintering the ingot blank in a heating furnace, conveying the sintered ingot blank to an extruder to extrude wires, and processing the extruded wires into finished products through a hot drawing mode. As mentioned above, SnO is generated in the oxidation stage of alloy powder2Has a thermodynamic stability higher than that of Ag2O, Sn is oxidized preferentially to Ag, SnO2The surface of the powder particles is subjected to segregation, and the contact and diffusion of Ag among the powder particles are hindered in the subsequent sintering process, so that the problems of difficult sintering of a blank, poor processing performance and the like exist.

4) placing the ball-milled silver tin oxide composite powder on an isostatic press for molding, controlling the isostatic pressure to be 50MPa, and keeping the pressure for 200s to obtain a silver tin oxide green body;
5) placing the silver tin oxide blank into a high-pressure oxidation furnace, and sintering for 6h under the conditions that the oxygen partial pressure is 0.8MPa and the temperature is 960 ℃, so as to obtain a silver tin oxide ingot blank, wherein the material object is shown in figure 1, and as can be seen from the figure, the surface of the silver tin oxide ingot blank obtained by sintering already has metallic luster, which indicates that the sintering densification effect of the blank is good; the fracture morphology and the metallographic structure of the obtained silver tin oxide ingot blank are respectively shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2 (b);
6) the silver tin oxide ingot blank is processed into a wire by hot extrusion, and the wire is processed into a rivet type contact by a riveting machine after being drawn and annealed for a plurality of times to a required size.
Comparative example 1
Example 1 was repeated except that:
5) and (3) placing the silver tin oxide blank into a high-pressure oxidation furnace, and heating to 960 ℃ under the condition of standard atmospheric pressure for sintering for 6 hours. As a result: the silver base in the obtained ingot had melted (since the melting point of silver at 1 atm was 961 ℃, the sintered ingot would certainly melt at 960 ℃, and thus an acceptable silver tin oxide ingot could not be obtained), and the obtained ingot was as shown in fig. 3.
