Definitions
- contact materials based on silver with carbon, in particular with graphite have found widespread use in the field of circuit breakers in low-voltage energy technology because they offer high security against welding of the contacts.
- the contact material contains the carbon in powder form. Since silver and carbon are neither soluble in one another in the solid nor in the liquid state, such materials can only be produced by powder metallurgy. It is known to mix silver powder and graphite powder with one another, to press individual parts from the mixture, to sinter and re-press them, or to cold-isostatically press blocks from the powder mixture, to sinter and to extrude them, the graphite particles being oriented in the extrusion direction to form fibrous agglomerates (cf.
- the graphite powder causes a kind of dispersion hardening in the contact material, so that the material is not very ductile and subsequent shaping of the contact pieces is very complex.
- DE-OS 20 57 618 goes from continuous carbon or graphite threads or from a "wool" of carbon threads which are impregnated with molten silver or copper, possibly with an addition of 0.5 to 4% by weight of platelet-shaped graphite to improve the lubricating properties an insert for sliding contacts. Since copper, silver and their alloys do not wet graphite, a carbide-forming additive such as titanium must be used. However, practice has shown that even when such a wetting agent is used, the production of appropriate materials by infiltration of a
- Bundle of fibers or a wool made of carbon threads is extremely difficult. These difficulties can be avoided by the method described in US Pat. No. 4,699,763.
- silver powder, graphite fibers and various additives are mixed to form a slip and processed into contact plates in several powder metallurgy work steps.
- the application test of such materials, which contain their carbon content in the form of real carbon fibers in accordance with DE-OS 20 57 618 or graphite fibers in accordance with US Pat. No. 4,699,763 shows that the resistance to erosion compared to a composite material with Graphite powder is produced, is significantly increased, but the welding resistance is drastically worsened. For this reason, no noteworthy practical use has become known for the materials produced in accordance with US Pat. No.
- the invention has for its object to provide a contact material based on silver with carbon or graphite which is superior to the known contact materials based on silver and graphite powder in terms of erosion and processability, but not in terms of welding resistance has serious disadvantages of a contact material based on silver and carbon fibers.
- the contact material according to the invention is characterized in that the carbon is present in it in the form of fiber pieces in combination with a portion in the form of a powder.
- the carbon fiber content must not be too low, because otherwise the beneficial effect on the reduction of the burn-up and the increase in ductility is too low. In contrast, the proportion of carbon powder must not be too small, because otherwise the welding strength is insufficient. On the other hand, the content of carbon powder must not be too high, because otherwise the material is too poorly deformable.
- the fiber pieces should be at least twice as long in the contact material as the graphite powder particles are in diameter.
- the length of the fiber pieces is preferably 10 to 100 times the average diameter of the carbon powder particles.
- the diameter of the fibers should be at least twice as large as the powder particles on average.
- the fiber diameter is expediently in the range from 1 to 50 ⁇ m, preferably in the range from 4 to 25 ⁇ m.
- the carbon or graphite powder can be used as the carbon or graphite powder.
- the carbon fibers or the graphite fibers can after known methods can be produced.
- the length in which they are used must be so small that the fibers can be mixed uniformly with the silver powder.
- Fibers with a length of 30 to 6000 ⁇ m are suitable, preferably the fibers are used in lengths of not more than 500 ⁇ m.
- the pressing process in particular the preferably downstream extrusion process, breaks the fibers into smaller pieces, so that the mean chamfer length in the finished contact material is less than the mean initial length of the fibers.
- the coarse fiber content in the contact material ensures its ductility and erosion resistance;
- the desired welding strength in combination with the fiber content is ensured by the powdery fine portion of the carbon, which for this purpose can be significantly lower than in a material that contains no carbon fibers but only carbon or graphite powder.
- the metal matrix of the material according to the invention expediently consists of silver; it can also consist of a silver-based alloy, ie of an alloy consisting predominantly of silver, the other alloy partner of which is selected in terms of type and quantity so that it does not reduce the electrical conductivity too much. Copper and nickel are particularly suitable as alloy metals of silver. Instead of alloying this metal, it can also be powder metallurgically combined with the silver.
- the carbon content in the material should not exceed 10% by weight, it should be noted that the density of the carbon is only about 2 g / cm 3 lower than that of silver, so that the volume fraction of the carbon is significantly higher is as its weight percentage. With a content of more than 10% by weight of carbon, the material becomes too brittle, with a content of less than 0.5% by weight of carbon, its effect on the improvement of the welding safety is too small.
- the material according to the invention preferably contains no more than 2% by weight of one or more additional metals, namely bismuth, calcium, lead, antimony and / or tellurium.
- additional metals namely bismuth, calcium, lead, antimony and / or tellurium.
- Metallic additives to a silver graphite material are already disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,699,763; However, there is nickel, iron, cobalt, copper and / or gold with which the burn-up is not to be reduced, but rather the sintering together of the powder particles is to be facilitated (they serve as a wetting aid).
- the additive metal is preferably used in an amount of at least 0.05%. Smaller additions show no significant effect. More than 2% by weight of the additive metal should not be added, since otherwise the electrical conductivity of the contact material drops too much.
- the optimal carbon content is between 2 and 7% by weight, the optimal mass ratio of carbon fibers to carbon powder is between 1: 1 and 3: 1.
- the carbon can be used in various modifications, the powder, for example, in the form of soot.
- the material behaves most favorably if both the carbon powder and the carbon fibers consist of graphite.
- the contact material according to the invention not only has the advantage of optimally combining welding resistance and low erosion, its ductility also makes it easier to process, in particular to deform subsequently, which facilitates the production of contact pieces and their connection to contact carriers and cheaper.
- the material according to the invention is so ductile, it is even possible to easily produce semi-finished products from the material according to the invention, which have a silver backing from the outset, which they need in order to be soldered or welded onto contact carriers.
- conventional silver graphite contact materials are combined with a silver sintered layer using single press technology, or extruded contact materials are provided with a solderable rear side by burning out the graphite on one side (DE-B: "Electrical contacts and their materials", A. Keil et al., Springer Q R4 r pp.
- a semi-finished product according to the invention with a silver backing can be produced simply by composite extrusion, in which a preferably cylindrical block of the material according to the invention is coated with silver and then in insert a reverse extrusion press that creates a composite strand that is still split lengthways in the die of the extruder or thereafter.
- the block can also be coated with an AgNi material.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 A cut of this material parallel to the extrusion direction is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4; in Figure 3 with 50x magnification .. i.n Figure 4 with 500x magnification. The combination of the fibrous coarse fraction with the powdery fine fraction of graphite in the silver matrix can be clearly seen.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show that the welding forces in the semifinished product according to the invention are much closer to those of the comparative semifinished product which only contains carbon powder than in the comparative semifinished product which only contains carbon fibers.
- FIG. 2 shows that the semi-finished product according to the invention is almost as good when burned up as the comparatively produced semi-finished product which only contained carbon fibers.
