Conventionally, various materials have been used as sliding contact materials, and in particular, Au9 is used as sliding contact material for brushes.

Alloy materials consisting of
(See page 30). This alloy material has particularly excellent properties such as mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and spring properties, and together with the synergistic effect of the combined addition of each element, it has particularly good corrosion resistance due to Au and Pt, Ag, Pd, and Cu. Spring properties due to Cu,
Focusing on the mechanical strength of Pt, Au, etc., and the castability and workability of Zn, Au, Pt, Pd, Ag, Cu,
It is made by limiting elements such as Zn and their content. However, brush contacts made of this alloy material have a low softening temperature and tend to aggregate when sliding with the commutator, resulting in poor wear resistance and easy generation of wear particles.
The contact resistance was unstable and caused noise. The present invention has been made to eliminate such drawbacks, and provides a brush that uses the above-mentioned alloy material as a base material and slightly adds a specific material to the brush to increase the softening temperature and improve the adhesion resistance. The present invention aims to provide a sliding contact material for use in the present invention. The sliding contact material for brushes of the present invention has a composition ratio of Au9
~11 wt%, Pt9~11 wt%, Pd34~36 wt%,
Ag29~31wt%, Cu13~15wt%, Zn0.5~1.5
Weight% Au-Pt-Pd-Ag-Cu-Zn is 95~99.5
The balance is a total of 0.5 to 5% by weight of at least one of Al, Mn and Ni. In the sliding contact material for brushes of the present invention, the composition ratio is 9 to 11% by weight of Au, 9 to 11% by weight of Pt, 34 to 36% by weight of Pd, 29 to 31% by weight of Ag, 13 to 15% by weight of Cu,
Au-Pt-Pd-Ag-Cu-Zn with Zn0.5~1.5 wt%
The reason why the amount is 95 to 99.5% by weight and the balance is 0.5 to 5% by weight in total of at least one of Al, Mn and Ni is to increase the softening temperature of the conventional alloy material and improve the adhesion resistance. If the total amount of at least one of Al, Mn, and Ni is less than 0.5% by weight, the effect cannot be exhibited, and if the total amount of at least one of Al, Mn, and Ni exceeds 5% by weight, a large amount of oxides will be generated. This results in high contact resistance and instability. Also, Au, Pt, Pd,
By setting the contents of Ag, Cu, and Zn within a range that does not change the composition ratio of the conventional alloy material,
The properties of conventional alloy materials will be exhibited without being impaired. Next, a conventional alloy material is used as a base material, and Al is added thereto to obtain a brush sliding contact material having the composition shown in Example 1 of the table. Brush wire rods with a wire diameter of 0.7 mm were made using sliding contact materials for conventional brushes and conventional sliding contact materials for brushes, each of which was cut to a length of 8 mm, and two wires were placed in parallel with one end having a width of 10 mm and a length of 10 mm. 13mm, thickness 0.2mm
A brush contact was made by welding it to the base material and bending a 2R arc-shaped contact part at the other end. Then, each brush contact was brought into contact with a disc-shaped commutator, the commutator was rotated forward and backward, and a sliding test was conducted under the following test conditions, and the wear amount and contact resistance were measured. The results shown in the column were obtained. Test conditions Current: DC 0.6A Voltage: 12V Load: Resistance load Rotation speed: 1000 rotations/divided speed: 130-120m/min Contact force: 100g Test time: 7 hours

という効果がある。[Table] As is clear from the above table, it can be seen that the brush contacts of Examples 1 to 15 had significantly less wear than the conventional brush contacts, and the contact resistance was low and stable.
This is because the sliding contact material for brushes of the present invention, which constitutes the brush wire of the brush contacts of Examples 1 to 15, is prevented from softening during sliding by Al, Mn, and Ni, and is resistant to adhesion. This is because it improves sexuality. As detailed above, the sliding contact material for brushes according to the present invention has significantly superior wear resistance compared to conventional sliding contact materials for brushes, generates extremely little wear powder, and generates almost no noise. This has the advantage that it is possible to obtain a brush contact having a lower and more stable contact resistance than when using conventional brush contact materials.
