The graphene oxide (GO)-doped nano-CeO2 was introduced into Cu30Cr10W electrical contact composites by ball milling dispersion, freeze-drying, and spark plasma sintering, resulting in excellent mechanical strength and high arc erosion resistance. The effects of GO and CeO2 on the microstructure and properties of the composites were investigated. The arc erosion behavior was investigated by the JF04C electrical contact testing apparatus. Consequently, the uniform distribution of CeO2 nanoparticles hinders the movement of dislocations, GO transformed into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) during high-temperature sintering, and the in situ formation of Cr3C2 between trace carbon atoms and chromium particles at the C–Cu interface, which enhanced the interface combination. Compared with Cu30Cr10W composites, the tensile strength of the two composites was increased by 47 and 36% by importing GO and nano-CeO2, respectively. Finally, electrode material migrated from the cathode to the anode, and the rGO delayed the formation of pits and sharp bumps on the contact surface of the electrode and inhibited diffusion of molten metal; when compared with Cu30Cr10W, the GO/CeO2–Cu30Cr10W composites have better welding force.
