the three-layer mixed powder in the step 2 can be subjected to layer-by-layer sintering treatment during sintering, and the specific sintering process is as follows: firstly, pouring a first layer of mixed powder into a graphite mold, putting the graphite mold into a plasma sintering furnace, vacuumizing and pressurizing, introducing pulse direct current when the pressure reaches 45-50MPa, heating to 1200-1300 ℃, preserving heat for 3-5min, cooling along with the furnace to obtain a first sintered body, spraying a second layer of mixed powder onto the surface of the preheated sintered body by using a plasma spraying technology to obtain a second sintered body, spraying a third layer of mixed powder onto the surface of the second sintered body by repeatedly using the plasma spraying technology to obtain a second sintered body, and finally cooling to room temperature;
spraying a second layer of mixed powder to the front of the first sintered body and spraying a third layer of mixed powder to the front of the second sintered body, and roughening the surfaces of the first sintered body and the second sintered body by using a suction type sand blasting machine respectively, wherein the adopted sand is brown corundum;
respectively adding rare earth oxides into three layers of mixed powder with sequentially reduced tungsten content, wherein the weight of the rare earth oxide added in each layer accounts for 2%, 1% and 0.5% of the weight of the mixed powder in each layer.
2. The method for preparing the copper-tungsten gradient material electrical contact according to claim 1, wherein the particle size of the tungsten powder in the step 1 is 2-8um, and the copper powder is electrolytic copper powder of-200 meshes.
