The invention discloses a
processing method for manufacturing a silver
tungsten composite contact material, which comprises the following steps: putting
tungsten powder in a reaction vessel, adding water and a proper amount of reducing agents, slowly injecting a silver-
ammonia complexing solution under stirring, cleaning silver
tungsten coating powder to become neutral,
drying the
powder, performing uniform ball milling treatment by a high-energy bowl mill, performing
distressing treatment of the silver tungsten powder, performing primary pressing and molding, performing presintering, infiltration
sintering, and secondary pressing with the protection of
reducing atmosphere to obtain the silver tungsten composite contact material. The invention has an advanced and simple process; the distribution of tungsten particles in a silver substrate is improved by a
coating process based on a
chemical plating principle; a high-energy bowl milling process is selected to allow the powder particlesto repeatedly generate
cold welding and fractures, which causes
atomic diffusion in the powder particles and improves the mechanical properties, physical properties, electrical properties, and the like of the material; a high temperature presintering process is adopted, which increases the material compactness, greatly optimizes the
conductivity, reduces resistivity, and improves
arc erosion resistance.
