Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing electrical contacts made of metal or metal alloy and carbon fibers, and to the contacts obtained.
- This process has the major drawback of being difficult to implement.
- the duration of the soaking must be well defined so as not to transform all the carbon into carbide, and one cannot obtain contacts consisting solely of the chosen metal and of carbon wires.
- the carbon wires are aligned in a preferential direction, that is to say in general perpendicular to the contact surface, so as to reduce the wear by the arc which forms during switching operations.
- Another disadvantage is that it requires an expensive and bulky device for compression.
- One of the aims of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks which the methods described present.
- This process also makes it possible to use, at the start, carbon fibers of relatively great length of the order of 30 to 50 mm.
- the metal or metal alloy is chosen from those which are good conductors of electricity and which do not react with carbon at the melting temperature of the metal.
- metal or alloy can be dictated by reasons of economy and / or abundance of the metal.
- copper and its alloys can be used which, for good contact performance, have the advantage of being more economical and more abundant than silver.
- the carbon fiber substrate can consist of loose fibers or preferably a felt.
- carbon fibers are also understood to mean graphite fibers.
- the percentage of carbon in the final product is obtained by varying the density of the fiber substrate. This density can vary from 0.05 to 1, the rate of metal or alloy therefore varies from 97.5% to 45% by volume.
- 80 g of carbonized viscose fibers with a diameter of 10 ⁇ m and a length of 50 mm are compacted in the form of a felt with a diameter of 80 mm and a thickness of 80 mm.
- This felt is impregnated with molten copper, at 1100 ° C under a pressure of 5 bars.
- the billet obtained contains 87% by volume of copper and its examination that the carbon fibers have retained their length (around 50 mm) and their random orientation after impregnation.
- This billet is then hot-spun at 850 ° C through a circular section of 12 mm diameter.
- the bar is finally cut perpendicular to the axis of the spinning in discs of thickness 1 mm.
- the discs obtained were used as covering contacts. It has been found that their performance relative to their cost price is such that they can advantageously replace the silver-cadmium oxide contacts despite a shorter lifespan,
- the fiber substrate used is the same as in Example 1.
- the felt is impregnated with the molten Cu-Cr-Zr alloy at 1050 ° C. under a pressure of 5 bars.
- the billet obtained contains 84.5% by volume of Cu-Cr-Zr alloy.
- This billet is then hot-spun at 820 ° through a die of square section 12 X 12 mm.
- the bar obtained consists of a rectangular section 12 X 12 mm and 2.8 m long, which is cut into slices 1 mm thick which are used as opening contacts.
- Example 2 All the observations indicated in Example 1 are applicable to Example 2.
- This example is a variant of Example 2.
- the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy after quenching and tempering, sees its mechanical properties markedly increased.
- the bar obtained is heated to 1000 ° C, then quenched with water and annealed to 475 ° C.
- This example is a variant of Example 1: copper is replaced by silver.
- the fiber substrate used is the same as in Example 1.
- the felt is impregnated with molten silver, at 1000 ° C., under a pressure of 5 bars.
- the hillette obtained contains 83% by volume of silver.
- This billet is then hot-spun at 780 ° C in the same die.
- the bar obtained consists of a cylinder with a diameter of 12 mm and a length of 3 m which is cut into discs 1 mm thick which are used as contacts.
