Definitions
- the invention relates to a semi-finished product for electrical Contacts made of a composite material based on silver-tin oxide and a powder metallurgical Process for its manufacture.
- the invention is based on an entanglement with those specified in the preamble of claim 1 Characteristics or of a semi-finished product with the specified in the preamble of claim 12 Characteristics.
- Contact pieces formed from such materials can contact pieces made of silver-cadmium oxide in service life under AC3 and AC4 test conditions (specified in IEC standard 158-1) be, however, show a stronger contact warming in the switchgear. what the lifespan of the Switchgear can impair. Moreover can the internally oxidized contact pieces subsequently no longer be deformed.
- DE-B-26 59 012 is a powder metallurgy Process for the production of a contact material made of silver with two different ones Metal oxides known in which two silver-metal oxide composite powders mixed, pressed and sintered, one of which is Compound powder just one metal oxide and that other composite powder only the other metal oxide contains.
- the object of the present invention is to achieve this based on a semi-finished product for electrical contacts to provide the base silver-tin oxide which is despite a very small content Tin oxide particles work well by extrusion and rolling can be processed and at the same time regarding Lifetime, tendency to weld and contact heating is as good or better than semi-finished products are based on silver-cadmium oxide.
- the semifinished product produced according to the invention consists of a composite material, which is through a special rough structure in combination with a special fine structure.
- the Coarse structure is given by the fact that in the composite material oxide rich areas where everything Metal oxide or the vast majority of Metal oxide component is concentrated, alternate with low-oxide areas. the only a small one Contain or even share of the metal oxide component are oxide free. Contain the low-oxide areas at most a small amount of metal oxide finely distributed in one from the material of the first component formed matrix.
- the oxide rich areas contain the lion's share of the metal oxide component (in a concentration that is far greater is higher than the usual average metal oxide concentration in a contact material based on silver-tin oxide) and the rest of the material of the first component like a penetration or a storage composite finely divided into one another. These areas have emerged from low-oxide and high-oxide powders, which were mixed, pressed and, if necessary, sintered. The size of the low and high oxide areas, which is the rough structure of the composite determine therefore depends on the size of the powder particles from.
- the fine structure of the composite is given by a finely dispersed oxide distribution in the oxide-rich forming the rough structure Areas of the composite, if necessary also in low-oxide areas, so far are present in these metal oxides.
- the majority of the metal oxide component must come concentrated in the composite powder and be involved. Only the relatively small one Metal oxide content, which may still be in the contain low-oxide areas of the composite material can be e.g. in the form of a pure Oxide powder with the powder from the first component of the material are mixed. Doing so it prefers that in the low-oxide areas the same oxides are present as in the oxide-rich ones Areas.
- any metal carbides still present especially tungsten carbide and / or molybdenum carbide
- those not solved in the first component Metals can separate the powder mixture in the form Powders are added; they are suitable in switching operation the wetting of the tin oxide with To promote silver and thereby the contact resistance to humiliate.
- the resulting Solid particles react with the oxygen in the oxidizing atmosphere in the flame or in the reactor at a temperature below that Melting temperature of the dissolved metals, whereby Powder particles arise in which the metals of the first component, i.e. the silver or the silver alloy, and the metal oxide component, so essentially tin oxide, in a very fine distribution tied together.
- the metal oxide particles mostly in sizes between 0.1 ⁇ m and 1 ⁇ m (diameter) before what for the inventive method is advantageous.
- spray pyrolysis Compound powder is also advantageous because by spray pyrolysis, in particular powder particles arise that are spherical or potato-shaped Have shape, the emergence of a deformable Semi-finished products favored because the spherical or potato-shaped particles of a plastic Deformation of the contact material less oppose as irregularly jagged powder particles.
- oxidic and carbidic components sometimes lower the contact point temperature in switching operation and partly an extension of the life of the contact pieces not only with small and medium current loads, but also in the heavy load area.
- Molybdenum carbide and tungsten carbide already work in small amounts.
- the additional carbides and Oxides should make up 6% by weight of the contact material not exceed so this does not gets too hard.
- nickel can also be advantageous to the composite material, which is not in silver is soluble and either as a very fine powder that formed from silver or a silver alloy Powder is mixed or also as spray-pyrolysized silver-nickel powder is introduced.
- a silver-tin oxide composite powder with 32% by weight of tin oxide is produced by spraying an aqueous solution of silver nitrate and tin-II-chloride in a reactor heated to approx. 950 ° C. with an oxygen-containing atmosphere, whereby a silver-tin oxide composite powder fails , in the powder particles of which the tin oxide is present in a very fine distribution. Then 75 parts by weight of a silver powder with a particle size smaller than 40 microns with 25 parts by weight of the silver-tin oxide, composite powder are dry mixed for one hour, then isostatically pressed to blocks of about 50 kg in weight and then at a temperature sintered at 830 ° C for 1.5 hours.
- the block thus formed is placed in the recipient of an extrusion press and hot-extruded, reducing the cross-section to a strand with a cross-section of 10 x 75 mm 2 , at a temperature of approx. 850 ° C., and then hot-rolled plated with a 1.5 mm thick fine silver sheet , hot rolled down to its final thickness of 2mm and processed into contact wafers according to the usual methods.
- the silver-tin oxide composite in the contact wafers has a tin oxide content of 8% by weight.
- the second example is modified that the powder mixture still contains 0.5% by weight Tungsten oxide (particle size smaller than 10 ⁇ m) and 0.3 wt% tungsten carbide (particle size smaller than 2.5 ⁇ m) are added. Furthermore is operated as in the first example. The addition of tungsten oxide and tungsten carbide leads to one Lowering the contact point temperature and to an extended lifespan from the Semi-finished electrical contact pieces.
- a silver-tin oxide-tungsten oxide composite powder with 20% by weight of tin oxide and 0.5% by weight of tungsten oxide is made by spraying an aqueous Solution of silver nitrate, tin-II-chloride and Tungsten ll chloride in a heated to approx. 950 ° C Reactor with an oxygen-containing atmosphere, being a silver-tin oxide-tungsten oxide composite powder precipitates, in the powder particles of the tin oxide and the tungsten oxide is in a very fine distribution. Then 50 parts by weight of a Silver powder with a particle size smaller than 40 ⁇ m with 50 parts by weight of the silver-tin oxide-tungsten oxide composite powder dry for an hour mixed and as in the 1st example for contact plates processed further.
- a silver-tin oxide composite powder with 30 % By weight of tin oxide is produced as in the second example.
- a silver-nickel composite powder with 2 wt .-% Nickel is made by spraying one aqueous solution of silver nitrate and nickel-II-chloride in a reactor heated to approx. 950 ° C with a protective gas atmosphere (e.g. argon), whereby a silver-nickel composite powder fails, in the Powder particles the nickel in a very fine distribution is present.
- a protective gas atmosphere e.g. argon
- the fourth example can be modified accordingly be that instead of a silver-nickel composite powder a silver powder and a carbonyl nickel powder mixed with the silver-tin oxide composite powder will. Otherwise the same as in the 4th example method.
- the attached figure shows schematically the Structure of one according to the second example manufactured composite, in which silver-tin oxide areas 1, mostly less than 50 ⁇ m, are in a silver matrix that consists of the oxide-free silver powder particles has emerged.
- Semi-finished products produced according to the invention are suitable are particularly suitable for contact pieces in low-voltage switching devices, e.g. in motor contactors.
