Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of contact material, particularly a kind of carbonate modification AgSnO
2The preparation method of contact material belongs to material smelting tech field.
Background technology
Contact material is the key factor that influences device for switching contact system functional reliability.And electrical contact is one of key element of electric equipment, and its function is to connect and cut off electric current.It is a carrying object; Be again component of machine, must have favorable conductive thermal conductivity and anti-electrical arc erosion, anti-melting welding, little electrical wear, low and stable contact resistance, not play chemical change, certain intensity is arranged and be easy to the general characters such as machining with working medium.
Known Ag-MeO series electrical contact material mainly contains AgCdO, AgSnO
2, AgZnO, AgSiO
2, silver-colored rare earth oxide (AgREO) etc.The characteristics of AgCdO contact material are: good, the anti-melting welding ability of anti-deterioration property is strong, contact resistance is low and stable; Has good serviceability; The electric current of using is pacified to several kilo-amperes from tens, is widely used in lying prostrate last kilovolt the multiple low-voltage electrical apparatus from several, once is called as " omnipotent contact ".And in AgCdO, rely on the volatilization and the O of Cd steam
2Overflow and cool off basis material and extinguish arcs, the decomposition temperature of CdO is lower than the fusing point of Ag, and CdO just can distil under lower temperature; The existence of CdO has improved the viscosity of melt surface thing simultaneously, can prevent that silver from being blown off by electric arc.But because cadmium metal steam is poisonous, contaminated environment, harmful, recent two decades comes, and many countries have all launched the research for cadmium material, have made significant headway, and that wherein the most rising is AgSnO
2Material.AgSnO
2Contact is as a kind of novel siluer metal oxide contact material; Part commercialization in the world; This material is except the characteristics with common metal oxide; Also have higher thermal stability (1925 ℃), good electric property, higher resistance fusion welding ability and arc resistance ability, be specially adapted in powerful contactor and the low tension switch, become the ideal candidates person who replaces the Ag-CdO electric contact material.Japan is from the research that proposed to actively develop after restriction uses the AgCdO contact " few cadmium, for cadmium " contact material in 1972, succeed in developing and produce in a large number the AgSn alloy add one or more elements such as Bi, Mn, Cu carry out in the AgSnO of oxidation
2Contact material.The contact of manufacturing has characteristics such as anti-deterioration property is good, contact resistance is low.Simultaneously, the U.S., Russia, France, Korea S etc. also actively develop AgSnO
2The development of contact material and product development work.
Known contact material patented technology and document mainly are the wild phases that changes in the silver-based material; For example: stifled state's (Chinese invention patent forever; 99115496.7) etc. application number: the people adopts chemical precipitation or sonochemistry to coat legal system to be equipped with silver and rare-earth oxidation composite powder; Through press forming, sintering, forging and pressing or extruding, combination property surpasses the AgCdO material; People such as F.huanner have studied Ag-Fe

Known domestic development AgSnO
2Contact material institute of Guilin electricity section, Kunming Institute of Precious Metals, Tianjin electrical alloy factory, Shanghai Alloy Material General Plant, University Of Tianjin, Xi'an Communications University etc. are arranged.But some problems still exist, and like the material bad plasticity, are difficult to processing; Silver tin oxide material temperature rise, tin oxide can not be decomposed and caused the arc extinguishing effect than Agcdo difference; Tin oxide lamination etc. occurs with the wetability difference of silver.99104491.6) and " silver-colored rare earth oxide contact material technology of preparing " (application number: 02113216.X) proposed a kind of method for preparing siluer metal oxide (tin oxide, rare earth oxide) contact material through reactive synthesis technique the patent " synthesis method for preparing silver-tin dioxide " of inventor application (application number:; Improved the serviceability of siller tin oxide to a certain extent, but be still waiting aspect too high to improve in the material temperature rise.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of modification AgSnO
2The preparation method of contact material, alternative poisonous Agcdo contact material preferably resolves the problem of temperature rise of contact material; The combination property of material is improved; And the electric contact composite material cost of preparation is lower, and the scope of application is bigger, and useful life is longer.
Solving the scheme that technical problem of the present invention adopts is: in silver-colored tin matrix powder, add the carbonate powder that accounts for total weight 0.1~2.0%, under argon shield atmosphere, mix being milled down to 300 orders, be pressed into biscuit; 500 ℃~800 ℃ of control biscuit sintering temperatures, 4~10 hours time; The sintering ingot blank is pressed again, in 500 ℃~800 ℃ following resinterings, 5~10 hours time; At last to the repressing and re-sintering base 400 ℃~600 ℃ following extrusion modlings.
In the silver-colored tin matrix powder of described contact material, tin element accounts for 4~15% of total weight, and carbonate accounts for 0.1~2.0% of total weight, and surplus is a silver.
, described silver-colored tin matrix powder also is added with one or both powder in adjustment elemental tungsten, molybdenum, the copper when grinding; And tungsten accounts for below 0.5% of matrix powder total weight; Molybdenum accounts for below 0.3% of matrix powder total weight, and copper accounts for below 0.3% of matrix powder total weight, and particle size is less than 45 microns.
Described carbonate powder adopts sodium carbonate, one or both in potash or the calcium carbonate, and granularity is 1 micron~100 microns.
The mixed powder of described contact material is in planetary ball mill, to grind, and abrading-ball and mill jar adopt a corundum or an agate material preparation, rotating speed 800rad/min~1500rad/min, ball milling time 4~hours 20 hours.
Described biscuit forming pressure is 400MPa~800MPa when adopting the two-way compacting of punching block, is 200MPa~300MPa when adopting cold isostatic compaction.
