The invention discloses a low-
voltage apparatus electrical contact material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method is characterized in that nano-
diamond and an
aqueous solution of Ce3<+>
cerium salt are uniformly mixed into a precursor by ultrasonic wave; the precursor is dried for 4h at the temperature of 90-100 DEC G, is loaded in a porcelain
crucible, and is roasted for 1-2h under the temperature of 600-850 DEG C in a
vacuum sintering furnace; a roasted product is smashed by a
ball mill or a
jet mill; after a
wetting agent is added into and mixed with the smashed product, the mixed product and
copper tungsten alloy powder are added into and uniformly mixed in a three-dimensional
blender mixer in proportion; the mixed product is added into a mold for
hot press molding and is sintered for 1.5-4h in the
vacuum sintering furnace with the temperature of 1000 DEG C. The low-
voltage apparatus electrical contact material has the advantages that the electrical contact material contains the nano-
diamond, the dispersion strengthening function is realized, and the super-strong
hardness and the wear-resisting property are realized; the
diamond is super-strong in heat-conducting property, the surface temperature can be reduced, and the
fusion welding and the electric
ablation are resisted; the diamond is covered by
cerium oxide, the
electron work function is lower, the movement of an
electric arc is dispersed, and the concentrated
ablation on the contact material by the
electric arc is reduced; the cost is greatly reduced as
copper replaces silver.
