Fig. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are the cutaway views that the shape all-in-one-piece process in the method for example 1 of the contact structures of manufacturing vacuum valve is shown.By manufacturing contact structures that the method for contact structures of vacuum valve of example 1 manufactures corresponding to the movable contact 5 of vacuum valve shown in Fig. 4.
First, in the method for the contact structures of the manufacture vacuum valve of example 1, prepare the cylinder 26 of cup-like structure as shown in Fig. 1 (a), this cup-like structure has bottom 25.It is that 16mm, internal diameter are the container of 10mm and the degree of depth cup-like structure that is 25mm that cylinder 26 is made external diameter by austenitic stainless steel (Japanese Industrial Standards coding SUS304) bar.
The basis material 27 of electrode bar is arranged in this cylinder 26.The basis material 27 of electrode bar is that an external diameter is about the oxygen-free copper that 10mm, length are about 10mm.
Then by the opening of molded 28 of the sintered body basis material 27 for installing electrodes rod that is put into cylinder 26 and be fixed on this opening.To after heating, form contact chip by infiltrating method, and be made by copper-chromium sintered body for molded 28.Be formed as for molded 28 being about 15mm at major part external diameter, be about 10mm at smaller portions external diameter, and thickness be about 10mm.
A kind of method of molded 28 for the manufacture of being made up of Cu-Cr sintered body is below described.Grind aluminium-deoxidized chromium piece in melting process by machinery and prepare chromium powder, granular size is adjusted to and is not more than 74 μ m.Prepare by electrolysis the copper powder that particle diameter is not more than 44 μ m.Measure chromium powder and copper powder, making its mass ratio is 55Cu-Cr, and mixes with V-type blender.
This mixture in oxygen-free environment at 1tonf/cm 2(98MPa) extrusion forming under pressure, and then in nonoxidizing atmosphere, at the temperature of approximately 1,000 DEG C, heat, this temperature is lower than the fusing point of copper.This moulding process is called sintering process in powder metallurgy.
The former fecula of chromium is the chromium powder of above-mentioned deoxidation.Its reason is that the contact material being used in vacuum valve sends various gas molecules, is mainly oxygen in the time that the electric arc of the connection due to contact and disengagement generation makes contact fusing.The gas discharging is easy to increase the pressure in vacuum tank.Thereby, use deoxidation chromium powder to be intended to making oxygen content minimum.
About copper powder, although obtain by electrolysis with copper powder in this example, also can use atomized copper powder no problemly.
Molded 28 is put into cylinder 26 for the opening of the basis material 27 of installing electrodes rod on after, by infiltration material 29, the oxygen-free copper block of the about 10mm of external diameter and the about 8mm of length, is placed on the top surface of molded 28 (CuCr sintered body).Hole in the filling porous CuCr sintered body of infiltration material, thus contact chip formed.
As mentioned above, the basis material 27 of electrode bar and infiltration material 29 are by identical material, and a deoxidized cooper forms.Cylinder 26 can be made up higher than any material of the fusing point of the basis material 27 of electrode bar and the fusing point of infiltration material 29 (being the fusing point of copper in the situation of example 1) of fusing point.In example 1, the basis material of cylinder 26 is austenitic stainless steels.
Selecting austenitic stainless steel for the basis material of cylinder 26 is because austenitic stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, and anticorrosive object is provided and in step afterwards without any special surface treatment.
Therefore the assembly 30, forming as shown in Fig. 1 (a) comprises the basis material 27 of cylinder 26, electrode bar, molded 28 and infiltration material 29.
