Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing contact pieces for low-voltage switching devices in power engineering from a material of the constitution AgSn0 2 Bi 2 03CuO.
  • contact materials based on AgCdO with Cd0 as the main active component have proven to be particularly advantageous in the past. These contact materials show a small burn-up in the arc, a low welding force and a low heating with continuous current.
  • a contact material which is produced by oxidation of a plated silver alloy sheet with 3 to 15 wt.% Tin, 0.01 to 1 wt.% Bismuth and 0.1 to 8.5 wt. -% Cu is made. This results in a material of the constitution AgSn0 2 Bi 2 0 3 CuO.
  • DE-A-27 54 335 discloses a contact material based on silver metal oxide, 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, are present should.
  • 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 provide a method with which the production of contact pieces from AgSn0 2 Bi 2 0 3 CuO materials can be done economically.
  • Process step f) of the process according to the invention is preferably followed by a further sintering at approximately 850 ° C. for one hour and a cold compression.
  • the contact pieces are produced by powder metallurgy using an internally oxidized alloy powder.
  • Example Manufacture of a sintered contact material from AgSnO 2 Bi 2 OaCuO 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 from it by pressure atomization with water. After drying, the powder fraction smaller than 200 ⁇ m is sieved off. This portion is internally oxidized in air between 500 and 800 ° C, after which a composite powder of AgSn0 2 Bi 2 03CuO with the composition 87.95% mass content Ag, 9.97% mass content Sn0 2 , 0.98% mass content Bi 2 0s and 1.10% mass content of Cu0 is obtained.
  • 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 further cold compression.
  • the contact properties of such contact pieces were measured on a test switch.
  • the burn-up values were about 25% better compared to an extruded AgSn0 2 grade with the same oxide content.
  • 50% lower Fs 99.9 values were achieved in the welding force values and 10% lower values in the contact resistance.
  • the structure of the contact material is very fine and even.
