Definitions
- the invention is based on a powder-metallurgically produced material for electrical contacts made of silver with 2 to 7% by weight of graphite and with an additive which increases the strength of the material.
- Composite materials made of silver with 2 to 7% by weight of graphite are used for electrical contacts in circuit breakers and in circuit breakers.
- contact pieces made of silver graphite combine a low tendency to weld silver graphite against copper or against silver-plated copper with the opposite contact piece in the contact material pairing that is usually used, with a low contact resistance after an arc effect on the contacting surface.
- contact pieces made of silver graphite are subject to a relatively high erosion.
- the switching chamber in which the contact pieces are accommodated is metallized by silver, which evaporates under the influence of an arc, and sooty by released graphite. This reduces the dielectric strength of the switching chamber.
- Another proposal is to manufacture contact pieces from a silver-copper-graphite fiber composite material by filling graphite powder into a double-jacket tube, the inner wall of which is made of copper and the outer wall of which is silver; the double-walled tube is closed and extruded into a thinner rod, which is then cut into shorter pieces, which are put into a silver tube, which is closed at the ends and then reshaped by extrusion.
- a contact material with a fine fiber structure is obtained (K. Müller and D. Stöckel "THE IRE PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SILVERBASED COMPOSITE CONTACT MATERIALS" Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Electric Contact Phenomena, Chicago, 1984, pp.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a material for electrical contacts made of silver with graphite and an additive that increases the strength of the material, in which low contact resistance, low welding tendency and low erosion (long service life) combine in a similar advantageous manner as in the well-known silver-copper-graphite fiber composite material; however, the new contact material is said to be more economical to produce than the known fiber composite material.
- the material should contain at least 0.5% by weight of a base metal in order to be able to bring about an appreciable increase in strength. However, the material should not contain more than 50% by weight of one or more base metals, since otherwise the contact resistance will increase too much, in particular due to the formation of base metal oxides.
- Particularly suitable base metals are one or more of the metals from the group of copper, nickel, iron, manganese, zinc, tungsten and molybdenum, copper being particularly preferred and the proportion of the base metal in the material preferably being 10 to 25% by weight.
- base metals those which do not form an alloy with silver or, at best, a precipitation alloy at low temperature, and thereby cause the material to harden.
- base metals those which have the highest possible electrical conductivity.
- copper proves to be an optimal base metal additive, whereby a part of the copper, preferably only a portion of 2 to 3% by weight of the material, may be present as copper oxide (CuO), thereby ensuring that the contact pieces are not welded is increased. Because of the simultaneous considerable copper content, there is no need to set the copper oxide content as high as that of the prior art silver-copper oxide-graphite contact materials, so that its disadvantages do not apply to a contact material according to the invention with a low copper oxide content.
- the materials according to the invention can be produced, at least in principle, like conventional silver-graphite materials by powder metallurgy by pressing powder mixtures, sintering and post-compression, if very fine-grained (average particle size smaller than approx. 0.5 ⁇ m) silver powder, copper powder and graphite powder are mixed with one another , pressed to shaped bodies, sintered and post-compressed, the compression should be so strong that the pore volume of the material is not more than 2%.
- a particularly advantageous method for producing the material according to the invention is the subject of claim 13.
- Advantageous further developments of this method are specified in the further subclaims.
- a silver powder, a base metal powder and a graphite powder are not mixed with one another and pressed to form shaped bodies, but instead a powder of a precipitation alloy made of silver is produced with the base metal and this is mixed with graphite powder; molded articles are then pressed, sintered and post-compressed, the compression should be so strong that the pore volume be less than 2% wearing.
- a particularly suitable method for obtaining such an alloy powder is spray pyrolysis (US-A-3 510 291, EP-0012 202 A1, DE-29 29 630 C2).
- a solution which contains a silver salt and one or more base metal salts in solution is sprayed into a hot reaction vessel.
- the salts are decomposed therein and the solvent evaporated, and an extraordinarily fine-grained alloy powder precipitates, which is particularly suitable for the production of the material according to the invention.
