Definitions
- Tungsten as a contact support in electromechanical switchgear is the metal of choice for all its high-melting-point metals due to its extraordinary resistance to erosion when it comes to fast switching sequences combined with considerable sparking.
- the contact piece is usually soldered as a rivet with a tungsten disk as a contact support on a rivet-shaped carrier made of soft iron or copper (see Fig.1).
- Tungsten is not a precious metal. When switching in air, oxide layers are to be expected. Corrosion phenomena on tungsten contact pieces have been known as a problem for over 50 years and, under unfavorable switching conditions, impair the universal field of application of tungsten as a contact material. In dry air, even in a hot environment (desert climate), the tungsten contact remains unaffected and fully functional for a long time. But if moisture is added (tropical climate), rapid corrosion of the unprotected tungsten occurs.
- Keil, A . Meyer
- C.L Corrosion phenomena at breaker contacts. Electropost 7 (1954) 93-95.
- Tungsten contact pairings are more prone to failure in hot and humid climates. This can be observed in a statistically conspicuous manner with horn contacts, for example, if a certain number of cars is produced on stockpile before the start of sales of a new vehicle type, there may be months under warm and humid conditions before they arrive via the dealer for delivery.
- a method well known to those skilled in the art is the coating of the complete Kunststoffnietes before installation in the switching device with a thin nickel layer. Due to the passivation of the nickel, the contact with the undamaged nickel layer remains uncoated for a long time and remains free of corrosion layers. However, the Ni-layer is partially destroyed by the necessary honking of the new horn at the switching surface at the horn manufacturer. The protective effect of the Ni layer is greatly reduced. In the field trial a positive effect of a nickel plating is no longer clear to prove. Another way is via the carburization of the tungsten switching surface. It forms a tungsten carbide-containing, some microns thick hard layer. Undoubtedly, such a hard layer exhibits improved corrosion resistance.
- Japanese Patent Publication 20128/1974 discloses the use of graphite powder as a carburizing agent.
- German Offenlegungsschrift 3232097 A1 discloses the use of propane as a carburizing agent in a protective gas furnace. An impairment of the solder side of the tungsten contact pad by simultaneous unwanted carburizing and impairment of OfenMapleiter is not excluded.
- the invention is thus based on the object of developing a contact piece consisting of a tungsten pad soldered to a metallic carrier with Cu or Ag brazing alloy which exhibits no impairment of the switching properties under corrosive conditions, especially under the influence of a moist, warm climate.
- This object has been achieved on the basis of the surprising finding that the corrosion resistance of the tungsten coating can be considerably improved by covering the solder layer and the carrier with a thin base metal layer.
- the invention thus relates to a contact piece with Wolf ramauf läge (1), which is coated on solder (2) and support (3) with a thin layer (4) of a base metal.
- Preferred embodiments of the rivet are the subject matter of claims 2 to 5.
- a method for producing the contact piece is described in claims 6 to 9.
- Suitable base metals in accordance with the invention are those metals which, under operating conditions in the electrochemical series, are more negative than tungsten.
- Preferred examples are tin, zinc, magnesium and aluminum, with tin (Sn) being particularly preferred.
- Tin is only slightly different in the voltage series to tungsten.
- tin has proven to be particularly suitable in practice. It should be emphasized in a galvanic deposition of S ⁇ that this is a very cost-effective process with an aesthetically pleasing result.
- An advantage of the inventive solution is that in the switching contact the burning material tungsten is free of any protective / foreign layer and thus it can not be destroyed by sparking can be expected with other disturbing influences during switching.
- the effect of the non-noble metal layer does not happen through a physical coverage of the tungsten to be protected, but solely by electrochemical means.
- more noble elements such as copper (as a Cu solder) or Ag (as an electrolytic covering) form a local element with W
- the tungsten of the W contact layer preferably goes into solution as a so-called sacrificial anode.
- Ag as a protective layer is counterproductive and copper as an adjacent solder layer is even conducive to corrosion. The same is to be assumed for the potential shift that is cathodic, that is, more noble behaving Ni.
- a contact piece for use as a horn and relay contact, consisting of a tungsten contact support (1), soldered with Cu or Ag brazing alloy (2) on a metallic support (3), according to the invention covered with a non-noble metal layer ( 4).
- Fig. 3 A contact pad of W of a rivet, according to the prior art as a reference before the corrosion test.
- Fig. 4 a contact pad of W of a rivet according to the prior art after the corrosion test.
- FIGS. 2 and 4 The result after 48h is shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
- the galvanically treated rivets show in comparison to the non-corroded standard ( Figure 3) only slight tarnish on the contact surface.
- the W surface is covered with thick greenish-brown crusts, which extend from the circumference on the Cu solder into the tungsten surface, partly up to the middle. These crusts are believed to be inorganic salts of copper and tungsten. If these are between the closed contacts of a horn, this leads to an increase of the contact resistance and consequently to the failure of the horn.
- Example 1 Instead of Sn, Zn is used as an additional galvanic layer.
- the comparison against an untreated standard is similar to that of Example 1.
- the disadvantage here is a bluish tarnishing of the galvanized carrier after corrosion. The rivets are unsightly.
