Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electric contact materials, in particular to an electric contact material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The electric contact part is an important contact part of electric appliances such as a relay, a breaker, an isolating switch and the like, is mainly responsible for the tasks of switching on and off, carrying current and isolating a circuit, and the performance of the electric contact part directly influences the performance of the switch, so that the safety and normal operation of the whole circuit and a system are related. The electric contact material often needs to be accompanied by long-time and high-frequency friction in the service process, and has a serious abrasion effect on the surface of the electric contact material, which directly influences the service life of the electric contact material and even the whole equipment. Therefore, the wear resistance of the electric contact material is improved, and the electric contact material has important significance for prolonging the service life of electric equipment and improving the service safety of the electric equipment.
At present, common electrical contact materials are mainly divided into two main categories, namely copper-based electrical contact materials and silver-based electrical contact materials. The copper-based electric contact material generally takes copper or copper alloy as a matrix phase and takes high-melting-point metal or compound such as tungsten, tungsten carbide and the like as a second phase; the silver-based electric contact material is generally prepared and molded by taking silver or silver alloy as a matrix phase and metals or compounds such as tungsten, nickel or graphite as a second phase by adopting an infiltration framework or a casting process. The structure is that a matrix phase is distributed in gaps in a continuous porous framework, and the surface of the material is represented by small blocks of the matrix and the framework phase which are distributed in an intermingled manner. Such a structure allows the material to maintain high conductivity, but since the skeletal phase has a small area and is dispersed between the matrices, the reinforcing effect cannot be fully exerted, and the effect of enhancing the wear resistance of the material is limited.
In the prior art, a related technology is that tungsten fibers are three-dimensionally woven to prepare a woven body, and then copper infiltration is performed in a high-temperature environment, so that a tungsten-copper composite material with uniform tissue is obtained; that is, the technology is mainly to improve the performance of the material through the support of the tungsten mesh in the matrix. The other related technology is that the mixed tungsten-copper powder and tungsten net are layered and laid, and then hot pressed and infiltrated with copper in a high-temperature atmosphere sintering furnace, so that the fiber net plays a role of reinforcing ribs, and the high-temperature strength of the composite material is obviously improved; the technology is mainly used for layering, laying and sintering the tungsten mesh and the powder to improve the performance of the material.
However, the inventors of the present invention have found that the above-mentioned prior art has at least the following technical problems:
(1) the abrasion of the electric contact material is limited to the surface, and the surface structure of the electric contact material is not pertinently strengthened by the surface of the material prepared by the prior art, so that the surface abrasion resistance is insufficient;
(2) the grids (or woven bodies) in the prior art are distributed in the whole base body; the grid content in the interior of the matrix is high, and the problems of reduced conductivity, electrical shock resistance and the like can occur;
(3) the prior art has the defects that the selected process is limited, only the infiltration method can be selected for preparation, and the method cannot be applied to the preparation method of the composite material with higher matrix content;
(4) only the tungsten mesh is selected as the reinforcing phase, and the process can only be applied to the copper-based composite material, so that the applicability is poor.

Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 lists the properties of the copper-tungsten electrical contact composite material in the prior art, and specifically refers to the properties shown in table 1:
table 1 shows the properties of the existing copper-tungsten electrical contact composite material
Figure BDA0002911622060000161
In addition, the wear profile of the conventional copper-tungsten electrical contact composite material Cu-W (30) after being ground with the zirconium nitride ceramic ball is shown in fig. 11, and it can be seen from fig. 11 that a large number of cracks and peeling of the matrix appear at the edge of the friction trace.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 lists the properties of the silver-nickel electrical contact composite material in the prior art, and specifically refers to table 2:
table 2 shows the properties of the existing silver-nickel electrical contact composite material
Figure BDA0002911622060000162
From the data above for examples 1-5 and comparative examples, it can be derived:
(1) comparative examples 1-2 exemplify the conventional copper-tungsten/silver-nickel composite material and the relationship between the electrical conductivity and the wear resistance thereof and the percentage content of the matrix.
For both composites, the following law exists: as the percentage of the matrix increases, its electrical conductivity increases, while its wear resistance decreases.
(2) In examples 1 to 5 of the present application, the surface wear rate of the mesh of the copper-tungsten composite material prepared in the present application was 0.32X 10 at a wire diameter of 50 μm-5mm3N m, less than 0.54X 10 of the minimum wear rate of the copper-tungsten composite material in comparative example 1-5mm3/N·m。
When the wire diameter of the reinforcing grid of the silver-nickel composite material prepared by the method reaches 25 mu m, the surface wear rate is 0.89 multiplied by 10-5mm3N m, still less than the minimum wear rate of 0.96X 10 of the silver-nickel composite material in the comparative example-5mm3/N·m。
Therefore, the electric contact material prepared by the embodiment of the invention has excellent wear resistance.
(3) By comparing example 1 with example 2, it can be seen that: if the mesh wire diameter is properly increased, the wear resistance of the material is correspondingly increased, but the conductivity of the finally obtained composite material is slightly reduced due to the simultaneous reduction of the matrix content.
(4) As can be seen from examples 1, 3 and 4 and 5: if a casting molding process is adopted, the percentage content of the matrix in the material can be improved, and higher conductivity can be ensured while the wear resistance is enhanced.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical spirit of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
