The reason why the component composition of the electrical contact materials of the present invention is limited as described above is as follows.As is well known, Cd is necessary to maintain excellent saw welding resistance and stable contact resistance. If it exceeds 20%, the wear resistance deteriorates even if elements that improve wear resistance are added.
0 to 20% by weight is suitable. sb is necessary for improving the evaporation drop welding resistance when opening and closing the contacts, and the sb is 0.5
If it is less than 5% by weight, there is no effect, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, wear resistance deteriorates and cannot be suppressed by adding Cu, which will be described later. Therefore, 0.5 to 5% by weight is suitable. Cu is necessary to refine the oxides precipitated during internal oxidation, increase electrical conductivity and improve wear resistance, and if it is less than 0.5% by weight, Sb
, the deterioration of wear resistance due to the addition of Bi cannot be completely suppressed, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, the welding resistance deteriorates, so 0.5 to 5% by weight is suitable.

I3i is necessary to improve the resistance to 78:M when the contact force and opening force are small because its oxide tends to sublimate when opening and closing the contact, and if it is less than 0.1% by weight, it has no effect, and 3% by weight
If it exceeds 0.1 to 3% by weight, the melting point of the alloy will be extremely lowered and internal oxidation at high temperatures will become impossible. Fe Group elements are arc resistant.

It is added to improve the abrasion resistance, and if it is 0.01% by weight uncrystallized, there is no effect, and if it exceeds 0.5% by weight, the contact resistance will be high and it will become unstable. 5% by weight is preferred.
