Definitions

  • the invention relates to silver-iron materials with others oxidic additives for electrical switch contacts.
  • Contact materials for use in electrical Energy technology must have high erosion resistance, low Show welding force and low contact resistance.
  • Nickel especially harmful in the form of dusts Can have an impact on the human organism.
  • Iron is an alternative to nickel been proposed.
  • DE-OS 38 16 895 uses a silver-iron material described for electrical contacts, the in addition to silver, 3 to 30% by weight of iron and a total of 0.05 to 5% by weight of one or more of the additives manganese, copper, Zinc, antimony, bismuth oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide and Contains chromium nitride. These materials show a clearly better overtemperature behavior with a good service life compared to simple silver-iron materials, however still below the values of corresponding silver-nickel materials.
  • contact materials are disclosed that next to Silver 5 to 50% by weight iron and up to 5% by weight one or several of the oxides titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, Tantalum oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, manganese oxide, May contain copper oxide and zinc oxide.
  • a contact material is known, in addition to Silver contains iron oxide, zirconium oxide and tungsten oxide.
  • EP-PS 0 586 411 is a contact material made of silver with 1 to 50 wt.% iron and 0.01 to 5 wt.% rhenium described.
  • Contact materials are known from JP-A-06 100 965 which contain silver, 0.1 to 15% by weight of iron and less than 10% by weight of Cd, Sn, Sb, Zn, In, Bi and / or Te.
  • An internally oxidized alloy powder made of silver with 0.05 to 10% by weight of Cd, Sn, Sb, Zn, In, Bi and / or Te is mixed with iron powder and sintered.
  • the Materials made from 0.5 to 4.5% by weight iron and 0.05 to 2% by weight of one or more of the oxidic additives
  • the materials are 0.2 to 1.2% by weight magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, yttrium oxide, Lanthanum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide, Cerium oxide, niobium oxide, tantalum oxide, aluminum oxide and Contain silicon oxide.
  • the iron content is between 0.5 and 2.5% by weight.
  • the silver-iron materials used so far with others Additives normally contained between 10 and 20% by weight Iron. But it has been shown that with the reduction an improvement in the iron content Overheating behavior goes hand in hand. But at the same time the welding behavior and the service life with decreasing Iron content worsened. Surprisingly, it did it has now been shown that by adding the oxides mentioned in Amounts between 0.05 to 2% by weight of the service life and Welding safety increases disproportionately, without the Overtemperature value deteriorates. It is for the overtemperature behavior is advantageous if the Iron content is below 4.5%.
  • the materials are resistance weldable and connections with Copper base materials show high Connection strengths. Have proven particularly successful Materials whose iron content is less than 2.5% by weight and the The amount of oxidic additives is less than 1.2% by weight.
  • the materials can be manufactured economically and are in all switching characteristics with the Silver-nickel tooling comparable, especially the Overtemperature shows values that also Achieve silver-nickel materials.
  • the materials are manufactured using powder metallurgy by mixing the appropriate powder, cold isostatic Pressing, sintering and extrusion into wires or Profiles.
