Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact material for low-voltage switching devices in energy technology made of AgSnO, Bi, O, CuO and to an associated method for producing contact pieces from this material.
  • contact materials based on AgCdO with Cd0 as the main active component have proven to be particularly advantageous. These contact materials show a small erosion in the arc, a low welding force and a low heating with continuous current supply.
  • a contact material which, by oxidation of a plated alloy sheet with 3 to 15 wt.% Tin, 0.01 to 1 wt.% Bismuth and 0.1 to 8.5 wt.% Cu is made.
  • an electrical contact material based on silver metal oxide is known from DE-A-2754335, in which 1.5 to 6% by weight bismuth oxide and 0.1 to 6% by weight tin oxide, based on the total amount of oxide, should be present .
  • copper oxide or zinc oxide can also be present, but bismuth oxide and tin oxide always dominate and are of the same order of magnitude.
  • the invention has for its object to design the known AgSnO, Bi, 0, CuO materials such that the production of contact pieces can be done economically.
  • the object is achieved in that the material is a sintered material produced by powder metallurgy from an internally oxidized alloy powder.
  • the total metal oxide content of SnO 2 , Bi, O and Cu0 is preferably between 10 and 25% by volume with a SnO 2 content ⁇ 70% by volume of the total amount of oxide, the total metal oxide content consisting of SnO 2 , Bi, O and CuO , can advantageously be between 15 to 20 vol .-%.
  • an alloy powder is produced from an AgSnBiCu alloy of a given composition by pressure atomization with water, after drying a powder fraction ⁇ 200 ⁇ m is sieved and internally oxidized in air, so that a composite powder made of AgSnO 2 Bi 2 O 3 CuO arises from which contact pieces are produced by pressing in a die with 600 MPa, which are sintered at 800 ° C for one hour and further compressed by hot pressing at approx. 650 ° C with 800 MPa. Further sintering at approximately 850 ° C. for one hour and cold compression may preferably follow.
  • Example Manufacture of a sintered contact material from AgSnO 2 Bi 2 O 3 CuO and the contact piece.
  • An alloy of AgSnBiCu of the specified composition is melted from 90.15% mass content of fine silver grains, 8.05% mass content of tin grains, 0.90% mass content of metallic bismuth as fragments and 0.90% mass content of copper in the form of rods.
  • An alloy powder of the same composition is produced therefrom by pressure atomization with water. After drying, the powder fraction of less than 200 ⁇ m is sieved off. This fraction is internally oxidized in air between 500 and 800 ° C., after which a composite powder. from AgSnO 2 Bi 2 O 3 CuO of the composition 87.95% mass content Ag, 9.97% mass content SnO 2 , 0.98% mass content Bi, O and 1.10% mass content Cu0.
  • the composite powder can be used to produce contact pieces by pressing in a die with 600 MPa. For secure connection technology by brazing, it is useful to press a second layer of pure silver powder together with the contact layer when pressing the composite powder.
  • the contact pieces are sintered at 850 ° C for one hour in air.
  • the contact pieces are compacted by hot pressing at 650 ° C with 800 MPa. Further compression and solidification can be achieved by a second sintering at 850 ° C for one hour in air and a subsequent cold compression.
  • the contact properties of such contact pieces were measured on a test switch.
  • the burn-up values were about 25% better than an extruded AgSnO 2 grade with the same oxide content.
  • Fs99.9 values were 50% lower in the welding force values and 10% lower values in the contact resistance.
  • the structure of the contact material is very fine and even.
