Description

Such high working platform voltage requires high voltage direct current relay products to have the characteristics of good high voltage resistance, impact resistance and breaking capacity.
The contact is used as a core component of the high-voltage direct-current relay and needs to have the characteristics of high voltage resistance, strong load resistance, impact resistance, strong arc extinguishing capability, strong breaking capability and the like, and currently domestic high-voltage direct-current relay manufacturers generally purchase oxygen-free copper as the contact on the basis of cost pressure, wherein the oxygen-free copper has good electric conduction and heat conduction performance, but the electric arc ablation resistance and the large current impact resistance are poor, and the adopted dispersion strengthened copper material with good performance has high cost and complex process and cannot meet the price requirement of the market; therefore, a low-cost and high-performance material is urgently needed to replace the existing oxygen-free copper, improve the service performance of the high-voltage direct-current relay and have high cost performance.
In the prior art, the research on the contact material of the high-voltage direct-current relay is few, and the contact material is mainly based on the continuation or optimization of the contact of the existing low-voltage relay. However, the high-voltage direct-current relay has higher performance and reliability requirements compared with the traditional relay, and new requirements are provided, while the existing silver-based contact and copper-tungsten contact solve part of problems, but can not completely meet the requirements of the high-voltage direct-current relay, such as poor arc ablation resistance and fusion welding resistance of the silver-based contact and high cost; the copper-tungsten contact has low load current resistance and breaking capacity, and the two materials are difficult to weld and are not suitable for batch production.

Aiming at the existing problems, the invention provides a preparation method of a contact material for a high-voltage direct-current relay.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a preparation method of a contact material for a high-voltage direct-current relay is characterized by mainly comprising the following steps:
(1) preparing materials: weighing a pure aluminum block and an oxygen-free copper bar as raw materials, wherein the raw materials comprise 0.1-1% of aluminum and the balance of copper by weight percent, wherein the purity of the oxygen-free copper bar is 99.9%, and the purity of the pure aluminum block is 99.95%;

(3) internal oxidation: filling the prepared copper-aluminum powder into a high-pressure reaction kettle, introducing oxygen with the purity of more than 99.9%, heating to 600-1000 ℃, fully oxidizing the copper-aluminum powder to generate copper oxide and aluminum oxide powder, and keeping the temperature for 2-4 h; vacuumizing to be less than 0.2pa, introducing hydrogen with the purity of more than 99.5 percent, reducing the copper oxide into pure copper, and dispersing the aluminum oxide particles in the copper powder to form dispersion strengthened copper powder;
(4) powder mixing: adding one or more of WC, Ti and W high-melting-point alloys into the dispersion strengthening copper powder prepared by internal oxidation, wherein the addition amount is 0.1-20% of copper-aluminum powder, and then mixing by adopting a ball mill;
(5) and (3) pressing and forming: pressing the mixed alloy powder by a press to form a green body, wherein the pressing pressure is 500-1500MPa, and the pressure maintaining time is 1-10 s;
(6) and (3) sintering: sintering the pressed green body in a vacuum or gas-hydrogen sintering furnace, wherein the maximum sintering temperature is 800-;
(7) repressing: re-pressing the sintered compact at 1000-1600 MPa;
(8) re-burning: and (3) carrying out secondary sintering on the re-pressed compact, wherein the sintering temperature is 500-1000 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 1-4h, so that the high-performance contact material can be prepared.
Further, the inert gas is one or a mixed gas of argon gas and nitrogen gas, the atomization pressure is 3-8Mpa, and the alloy liquid forms micro liquid drops through the impact of the gas on the melted alloy liquid, and the micro liquid drops can not react with the alloy liquid, so that the purity of the alloy powder is ensured.
Further, when the vacuum atomization operation is performed in the step (2), the specific process is as follows: pouring molten alloy liquid into a drain ladle, spraying atomizing gas with the pressure of 0.6-8MPa in the process that the alloy liquid flows out through a drain nozzle at the speed of 8-15L/min, dispersing the alloy liquid into fine droplets, cooling and solidifying the fine droplets in the falling process to form aluminum alloy powder, and conveniently controlling the particle size of the small droplets of the alloy liquid by controlling the pressure of the atomizing gas and the flow rate of the alloy liquid.
Further, the granularity of the copper-aluminum alloy powder prepared in the step (2) is required to be below-100 meshes.
Further, in the ball milling process in the step (4), polyvinylpyrrolidone and a silane coupling agent are added into the ball mill, and under the action of the polyvinylpyrrolidone and the silane coupling agent, the particle size distribution of the mixed powder after ball milling is small, agglomeration is reduced, and segregation of the prepared alloy is avoided.
Further, in the step (4), the ball-milled mixed powder is subjected to plasma spheroidization, wherein the powder feeding rate is 60-150g/min, the plasma output power is 60-80KW, so that spherical mixed powder with uniform particle size is obtained, the ball-milled powder is treated by a plasma spheroidization technology, the uniformity of the particle size of the mixed powder is improved, and the alloy powder after the plasma spheroidization is subjected to compression molding, so that an alloy green compact with uniform tissue can be obtained, and segregation of alloy components is avoided.
Further, the ball-to-material ratio in the step (4) is 1:5-5:1, the ball milling time is 1-10h, if the ball-to-material ratio is more than 5:1, the impact friction between grinding bodies can be increased, the idle work is increased, the power consumption and the abrasion are increased, and the yield of the mixture is reduced; if the ball-material ratio is less than 1:5, the excessive material storage amount in the ball mill plays a buffering role, the excessive crushing phenomenon is increased, and the grinding efficiency is also reduced.
Further, the blank sintering in the step (6) comprises the following specific processes: s1: preheating: putting the pressed and formed blank into a vacuum or gas-hydrogen sintering furnace, preheating at the temperature of 300-; s: gradient temperature rise sintering: and raising the temperature of the preheated blank to 800-1050 ℃ at the temperature rise rate of 30-55 ℃, and preserving the heat for 2-3h, so that the blank is prevented from cracking and non-uniform deformation caused by too fast change of the sintering temperature in a preheating and gradient temperature rise mode, and the preparation of the contact material is prevented from being influenced.
Furthermore, when the annealing mode in the step (5) is stress relief annealing, the specific operations are as follows: s1, preheating the annealing furnace at the heating rate of 55-60 ℃/h until the temperature is raised to 630-650 ℃, then placing the blank subjected to the forging hammer into the preheated annealing furnace, and preserving the heat for 2-3 h; s2: introducing nitrogen into the annealing furnace, then heating the annealing furnace at a temperature rise rate of 200-250 ℃/h until the temperature rises to 1080-1200 ℃, and preserving the heat for 3-6 h; s3: reducing the temperature of the annealing furnace to 980-.

(2) The invention mainly shows the advantages in the aspect of the final performance of the material by controlling the content of the aluminum, when the content of the Al is less than 0.1 percent, the product has no obvious performance advantage compared with pure copper, but when the content of the Al is more than 1 percent, the conductivity of the product is reduced too much by adding the Al, and the conduction of a relay is not facilitated.
(3) Because the dispersion strengthening copper powder has higher hardness and the spherical powder is not easy to form, the invention carries out twice pressing and twice sintering, wherein, the first pressing is firstly carried out to form a blank, the material stress is removed after the initial sintering, and the deformation strength is reduced; the secondary pressing aims at shaping to achieve the size of a final product and reduce the subsequent machining process, the secondary re-sintering can improve the mechanical strength and the toughness of the material and is beneficial to the service life of the material, and the product requires the mechanical life to reach millions of times, so that the secondary sintering is needed to improve the strength of the material.
(4) During sintering, the invention controls the sintering temperature in a preheating and gradient heating mode, and avoids the influence on the preparation of the contact material caused by the cracking and uneven deformation of the blank due to the rapid change of the sintering temperature.
