The second prior art provides a preparation method of an Ag/MAX electric contact material, which mainly adopts the following scheme: the Ag/MAX phase electric contact material with the characteristics of Ag grain refinement, laminated MAX phase layering and directional arrangement, compactness and anisotropy is prepared by adopting a means of combining powder metallurgy with an equal channel corner extrusion method.
A third prior art provides an Ag/Ti alloy3SiC2The main scheme of the electric contact material is as follows: adding silver-plated Ti into silver matrix by adopting powder metallurgy method3SiC2And (3) preparing powder, namely preparing the silver-based electric contact material, and obtaining an actual product after hot extrusion molding, rolling or drawing processing and mechanical processing.
The composite material produced by the powder metallurgy method here: the MAX phase is typically dispersed as a reinforcing phase in the silver matrix without spatial interconnection, which results in no current conduction between the conductive MAX phases. The current path is mainly composed of two parts: firstly, a silver matrix; second is silver-MAX-silver. And the conduction of current at the interface results in an increase in the resistance of the material. In addition, the matrix metal silver provides high conductivity for the composite material, but the mechanical property is poor due to the soft quality of the composite material, the MAX reinforcing phase is used for improving the mechanical property of the composite material, but the conductivity of the reinforcing phase material is low, and the conductivity of the composite material is seriously influenced by the increase of the addition amount, so that the addition of the reinforcing phase is limited (the volume fraction of the reinforcing phase is low).
In conclusion, the silver-MAX phase electrical contact material in the prior art has the problems of low strength and hardness due to low content of the ceramic in the enhanced phase in order to ensure the electrical conductivity.
