    Abstract:

    AgCuOIn2O3SnO2 electrical contact materials with different SnO2 contents were prepared by reaction synthesis coupled with plastic deformation process. The morphology and microstructure of the AgCuOIn2O3SnO2 contact materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscope. The distribution uniformity of the metallographic structure and the reinforcement phase of the materials with different SnO2 contents was analyzed. The phase structure of the materials was measured by X-ray diffraction, and the tensile strength, hardness, and resistivity of the materials were also measured. Results show that the appropriate SnO2 addition can significantly decrease the pore size and reduce other defects in the structures. The diffusion of oxides in the silver matrix greatly improves the microstructure uniformity of AgCuOIn2O3 contact materials. When the SnO2 content is fixed, the resistivity of materials is decreased with conducting the plastic deformation; with increasing the SnO2 content, the resistivity is decreased firstly, then increased, and finally turns to be stable at 2.4 μΩ·cm. The hardness of the materials is increased significantly after SnO2 addition. The material with 1wt% SnO2 shows the optimal tensile strength and elongation.
