As shown in table 1, can know through thickness (T) to be that 0.1mm is above, width (W) is that the above mode of 0.05mm forms puddle with breakthrough part, then can not produce crack or gap, the weld strength between noble metal termination and the central electrode is improved.
(test-2)
Use base station and the column identical with test-1, the thickness (T) that is controlled to breakthrough part for more than the 0.1mm, width is irradiating laser and welding more than the 0.05mm.
And ,-1 carry out caloric test equally with test, finish the back and cut off and puddle is sampled and carried out composition analysis along the axis of noble metal termination.Sampling is that 9 shown in Figure 3 are sampled and carry out composition analysis at each measuring point, and the principal component of obtaining the noble metal termination is a Pt content.In addition, the point at the each point place of sampling directly is 10 μ m.In addition, carry out 10 tests, establish and consist of its mean value.
Then, calculate the maximum (X of 9 Pt content of locating MAX) and minimum value (X MIN) poor (X MAX-X MIN).Then, obtain this (X MAX-X MIN) with caloric test result's relation.Result shown in the table 2.In addition; " * " in the table 2 expression has produced the crack more than five or has produced the situation in crack of the length more than 1/4 of the diameter of column; " zero " expression produced 1/4 situation of the diameter of crack and the not enough column of fracture length below four, and " ◎ " expression has produced 1/4 situation of the diameter of crack and the not enough column of fracture length below.
[table 2]
Table 2
As shown in table 2, we can say (X MAX-X MIN) more little, the fusion in heterogeneity more of noble metal termination in the puddle and central electrode, the generation in crack or gap is few more, is preferably below 30%, more preferably below 15%.
(test-3)
Through spark long duration test on the machine, checking from the upper end of breakthrough part until the distance (H) (with reference to Fig. 2 (B)) of the upper surface of noble metal termination and the relation between the recruitment of gap.That is, through simulation obtain with the noble metal termination be that the Pt alloy of diameter 0.6mm, thickness (T) that the recess material is Ni alloy and breakthrough part are that 0.1mm is above, width is the gap recruitment of 0.05mm mode above, that distance (H) is the value shown in the table 3 when welding.Experimental condition is made as 0.4MPa, 250 hours, 100Hz.
Because fusing department is the mixture of Ni alloy of Pt alloy and the base station of noble metal termination, therefore consumes soon than noble metal termination.Therefore, we can say that the gap recruitment increases more that then durability is poor more.Consider practicality, it is qualified that determinating reference is made as with not enough 0.3mm.Result shown in the table 3.
