Description

Component regulation and control method of Ag-Ti 3SiC2 electric contact material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of silver-based electric contact materials, and particularly relates to a component regulation and control method of an Ag-Ti3SiC2 electric contact material.
Background
Silver is widely used as an electric contact material for low-voltage appliances, communication and aerospace electric contact components because of excellent electric conduction, thermal conduction, good processability and good oxidation resistance. However, the silver contact has low hardness, low melting point, poor arc erosion resistance and wear resistance, and has great limitation on application, and particularly under the condition of long-term low voltage, the silver contact is not resistant to electric wear and tear, and is easy to generate arc erosion and fusion welding phenomena to influence the stable operation of a power circuit. The metal ceramic Ti 3SiC2 is a ternary lamellar compound with excellent performances of metal and ceramic, and has the characteristics of good metal electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and processability, high hardness, high melting point, high thermal stability, oxidation resistance, wear resistance and the like. The ternary layered Ti 3SiC2 metal ceramic is used as a reinforcing phase, has good wettability with silver, and does not generate in-situ reaction. Compared with the traditional ceramic material, the Ti 3SiC2 reinforced silver-based composite material is prepared on the premise of good electric conduction, heat conduction and high strength, and the arc erosion resistance, fusion welding resistance, mechanical property and wear resistance of the composite material are improved.
At present, the related technology is searched as follows regarding a component regulation method of an infiltration Ag-Ti 3SiC2 electric contact material: (1) The invention of patent publication No. CN 110499435A is a silver-based electric contact material and a preparation method thereof; (2) The invention of patent publication No. CN 101343700A is an Ag/Ti 3SiC2 electric contact material and a preparation process thereof; (3) The patent publication No. CN 102312150A is named Ag/Ti 3SiC2 electric contact composite material. The preparation technology of the silver-based electric contact material mainly comprises a powder metallurgy process, wherein Ti 3SiC2 powder or Ti 3SiC2 powder subjected to silver plating treatment, silver powder or silver alloy powder and other additives are subjected to ball milling and mixing uniformly, sintering, hot extrusion treatment and other processes, so that the silver-based electric contact material with Ti 3SiC2 as a reinforcing phase is obtained. By adopting a powder metallurgy process, the Ti 3SiC2 is used as a silver-based electric contact material of a reinforcing phase, compared with a matrix, the reinforcing phase has low addition content, so that the reinforcing phase is unevenly and discontinuously distributed in the matrix, the mechanical property, arc erosion resistance, fusion welding resistance and wear resistance of the silver-based electric contact material are seriously influenced, and particularly under the action of an arc, silver liquid drops are easily evaporated and splashed in a silver-rich area, so that the contact point of the electric contact material is invalid.
The technology is a technology of preparing a ceramic Ti 3SiC2 skeleton and re-infiltrating metal, the retrieved technology is patent application number 202210312764.9, the invention is named as a silver-Ti 3SiC2 electric contact material and a preparation method thereof, the technology adopts hot-pressed sintering pure Ti 3SiC2 powder to prepare a porous Ti 3SiC2 skeleton, and finally, the high-temperature infiltration of metallic silver is carried out to obtain the Ti 3SiC2 reinforced silver-based electric contact material, wherein the hot-pressed sintering temperature of the skeleton is not lower than 900 ℃, the technology is favorable for improving the strength of the silver-based electric contact material, the bending strength is not lower than 520MPa, and the silver-based electric contact material has good arc erosion resistance and wear resistance. However, the process is influenced by the hot-pressing sintering temperature and the hot-pressing sintering pressure, the porosity of the framework cannot be further improved, and the content of metallic silver in the prepared electric contact material cannot be improved, so that the electric contact material is poor in electric conductivity, and the electric conductivity is not higher than 7.5MS/m; secondly, ti 3SiC2 powder generates closed pores in a framework at the higher hot-press sintering temperature of 1200 ℃ and 1400 ℃ due to arch bridge effect, so that molten silver cannot fill the pores to become defects, the proportion and connectivity of metallic silver in the silver-based electric contact material are seriously affected, and the silver-based electric contact material is low in conductivity, poor in toughness and easy to cause brittle fracture.
Therefore, the patent develops a component regulation and control method of the infiltration Ag-Ti 3SiC2 electric contact material, has important significance for improving the performance and service reliability of the electric contact material, and is hopeful to be used as a novel silver-based electric contact material to replace the existing oxide and carbide reinforced silver-based electric contact material.
