In these electrical contact materials of the present invention, the component composition of -C1 is limited to the above (explaining the reason for this), as is well known, Cd is necessary to maintain excellent welding resistance and stable contact resistance. If the weight is less than 10% by weight + Yi, good welding resistance cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the wear resistance deteriorates even if elements that improve wear resistance are added.
10-20 tonxing% is suitable. Cu is necessary to refine the oxides precipitated during internal oxidation, improve electrical conductivity, and improve wear resistance.
, 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. l"e is necessary for improving welding resistance because its oxide tends to sublimate when opening and closing contacts. If it is less than 1% by weight, it will not have this effect, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, wear resistance will deteriorate, so it should be 1 to 5. % by weight is preferable. Bi is necessary for improving welding resistance when the contact force and separation force are small because its oxide is brittle and easily dissociated, and if it is less than 0.1% by weight, it has no effect. If it exceeds 3% by weight, the melting point of the alloy will be extremely lowered and internal oxidation at high temperatures will become impossible.
1 to 3% by weight is preferred. Fe Group elements are arc resistant.
