Description

Preparation method of silver tin oxide indium oxide electric contact material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electric contact materials, in particular to a preparation method of a silver tin oxide indium oxide electric contact material.
Background
The silver cadmium oxide electric contact material plays an important role in the whole low-voltage electric contact material by virtue of comprehensive electrical properties such as unique arc extinguishing property, welding resistance, low and stable contact resistance and the like, but the cadmium element is harmful to human bodies and the environment and is gradually limited to be used or replaced. Silver tin oxide electric contact materials have become an environment-friendly nontoxic electric contact material which is the most promising to replace silver cadmium oxide due to excellent arc erosion resistance, abrasion resistance and welding resistance. The silver tin oxide material is prepared by adopting an internal oxidation method, and a layer of compact tin oxide film can be produced on the surface of the silver tin alloy when the silver tin alloy is oxidized, so that the alloy is prevented from being further oxidized. Research shows that a certain amount of indium is added, so that the blocking effect of a tin oxide film on oxygen atom diffusion can be broken through, the oxidation can be continuously carried out, the oxidation process of the silver-tin alloy can be accelerated, meanwhile, the addition of indium has an influence on the thermal stability of the material and the microstructure of an arc melting zone, and the arc erosion resistance and the fusion welding resistance of the silver-tin oxide contact material can be improved, so that the silver-tin oxide indium oxide is developed into a main electric contact material and is widely applied.
At present, the preparation process of the silver tin oxide indium oxide electric contact material applied to a contactor and a breaker is usually an alloy internal oxidation method. In order to ensure the welding strength between the silver tin oxide and the contact bridge, a pure silver layer needs to be compounded on the welding surface of the contact as a welding silver layer. Patent document CN105551838A discloses a method for processing such silver tin oxide indium oxide sheet-like electrical contact containing additives, which specifically comprises: calculating the required dosage of silver, tin, indium and additives according to the material proportion of the silver tin oxide indium oxide electrical contact to be prepared, and weighing for later use; placing silver, tin, indium and additives in an intermediate frequency smelting furnace to be smelted into molten liquid, casting the molten liquid into an ingot blank, and then obtaining an AgSnIn alloy strip with a certain specification through extrusion and rolling procedures; feeding the pure Ag strip and the obtained AgSnIn alloy strip into a tubular resistance furnace for heating, and feeding the strip from the tubular resistance furnace into a roller for hot rolling and compounding to obtain an AgSnIn/Ag composite strip; the AgSnIn/Ag composite strip is annealed, rolled, stamped and formed and then subjected to internal oxidation treatment.
The application has the following disadvantages: firstly, the internal oxidation process is carried out at the same temperature and the same oxygen pressure, the oxide distribution of the contact material tissue from the surface layer to the center shows a remarkably reduced trend, and the risk that the contact is burnt and damaged and gradually tends to the center from the surface to generate fusion welding or failure in the use process of the electric appliance is increased. Secondly, the hot rolling compounding process of two layers of different materials is in a solid phase diffusion mode, the compounding parameters, the deformation, the cleanness degree of a compounding interface of the two different materials (AgSnIn and Ag) and the like can influence the compounding strength of the interface and the subsequent internal oxidation, the process requirement on the processing process is high, the phenomenon of badness of a product is difficult to find, and the risk that a contact is separated from the compounding interface exists in the using process of an electric appliance. Thirdly, the processing methods need to add the processes of polishing, grinding and hot rolling of the strip besides the process of adding Ag as a welding layer, and have the disadvantages of complex production process, low yield and high production cost.

The sintered alloy ingot and the silver are still integrated, foreign matter pollutants influencing the bonding strength cannot be introduced into a composite interface, and the bonding strength of the interface between the alloy ingot and the silver is ensured. In the present invention, it is preferable to perform a hot-pressing treatment after sintering. The ingot blank can generate different degrees of shrinkage along the diameter direction and the length direction due to sintering, the silver-coated ingot blank with a regular shape can be obtained through hot re-pressing treatment, the silver-coated ingot blank is convenient to be subsequently made into a sheet, and the bonding tightness between the silver alloy ingot and the silver coating layer is further improved.
