Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sintered composite material for electrical contacts made of silver, tin oxide, bismuth oxide, copper oxide and a method for its manufacture.
  • AgCdO has proven itself very well for the production of electrical contact pieces for a large number of applications.
  • the CdO has been classified as a toxic material due to its environmental impact. An attempt is therefore made to replace CdO with another metal oxide.
  • tin oxide (SnO2) is a suitable replacement for cadmium oxide (CdO).
  • AgSnO2 contact materials do not yet have optimal values in all functionally important properties. So z. B. with AgSnO2 contact materials over AgCdO contact materials a firmly adhering oxide layer.
  • EP-A-0 024 349 discloses a material for electrical contacts made of silver, tin oxide and tungsten oxide as a further metal oxide.
  • DE-A-30 17 424 suggests that such a silver-based material with 5 to 20 wt.% Tin oxide and 0.05 to 5 wt.% Tungsten oxide additionally 0.1 to 5 wt.% Contains bismuth oxide. These materials are sintered and compacted from the powder mixture of silver and the individual metal oxides, so that a typical sintered structure with a statistical distribution of the metal oxides results.
  • a material for electrical contacts which consists of silver, tin oxide, bismuth oxide and copper oxide.
  • the copper oxide can optionally be replaced by zinc oxide. Both materials can be produced by the so-called internal oxidation of alloys initially produced, the oxidation taking place essentially by solid-state diffusion of oxygen.
  • a material which contains molybdenum oxide and / or germanium oxide in addition to silver and tin oxide, but no bismuth oxide and copper oxide, it being possible for the molybdenum oxide to be partially replaced by tungsten oxide.
  • This material is either powder metallurgically made from silver and the metal oxides or by internal oxidation of alloy sheets, whereby no statements have been made about the structure formation.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the known CdO-free silver contact pieces in such a way that the optimization of the contact properties with regard to arcing in the arc, low welding force and low contact resistance is made possible.
  • the invention thus provides a material in which the fact that tungsten and / or molybdenum is insoluble in silver is advantageously taken into account. By sublimating the corresponding oxides on the composite particles, the advantages of these metal oxide additives can nevertheless be exploited.
  • the mean particle sizes of the tin oxide, bismuth oxide and copper oxide precipitations in the silver regions are between 0.1 and 5 ⁇ m, in particular between 0.1 ⁇ m and 3 ⁇ m.
  • the tin oxide content is between 6 and 15% by mass
  • the bismuth oxide content is between 0.2 and 2% by weight
  • the copper oxide content is between 0.2 and 2% by weight
  • the proportion of subliming metal oxide additive is between 0.2 and 2% by weight .
  • a powder of particle size ⁇ 200 ⁇ m is produced from an AgSnBiCu alloy with 7.7% tin (Sn), 1% bismuth (Bi) and 1% copper (Cu).
  • a suitable procedure for this is e.g. B. the pressure atomization of the melt of this alloy.
  • the alloy powder obtained is completely internally oxidized, a composite powder of AgSnO2Bi2O3CuO having the appropriate composition being obtained.
  • the internal oxidation is carried out in air. wherein the annealing treatment is started at 500 ° C and is held at 800 ° C after one hour for the same time.
  • the composite powder is mixed with 0.8% by mass of tungsten oxide (WO3) in an agitator ball mill under acetone for one hour and thereby the WO3 is distributed on the surface of the composite powder particles.
  • WO3 tungsten oxide
  • a shaped body is produced by pressing, sintering and hot post-compression, the residual porosity of which is ⁇ 1.5%.
  • the contact properties such as arcing in the arc.
  • Welding force and contact resistance were measured under a condition described in the literature on a test switch and compared with a very good AgCdO quality.
  • the burn-up values are 25% lower, which leads to a corresponding improvement in the service life.
  • a corresponding saving in silver can be achieved by reducing the contact piece volume.
  • the welding force values were in the same range as for AgCdO 12 and the contact resistance was in the same fluctuation range.
  • Example 2 Made of an AgSnBiCu alloy with 7.7% tin (Sn) by mass, 1% by mass Bismuth (Bi) and 1% by mass of coupler (Cu), as in Example 1, is used to produce a powder with a particle size of ⁇ 200 ⁇ m by pressure atomization of the molten alloy.
  • a completely internally oxidized composite powder AgSnO2Bi2O3CuO is obtained under the conditions given in Example 1.
  • the composite powder is ground with 0.4% mass content of tungsten oxide powder (WO3) and 0.2% mass content of molybdenum oxide powder (MoO3) in an agitator ball mill under acetone for 1 h and the oxide additives are evenly distributed on the surface of the composite powder particles.
  • WO3 tungsten oxide powder
  • MoO3 molybdenum oxide powder
