Ag/ZnO contact material was prepared by gas atomization internal oxidation forging technology (AIOF technology). The granularity, morphology and component of gas atomized Ag/Zn alloy powder were studied; the phase constitution, microstructure and physical performance were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. Furthermore, the oxidation mechanism of Ag-based alloy was also discussed. The results showed that 82% gas atomized Ag/Zn alloy powders were less than 125μm in diameter of irregular shape. The microstructure was homogeneous with electrical contact resistance equal to 2.10μΩcm and of 98% relative density and hardness of 102.8HV. The performance was much better than that prepared by conventional powder metallurgy method. The oxidation of Ag-based alloy was considered to be controlled by oxygen diffusion.
