In the electrical contact material of the present invention, 20% by weight of bismast
, cadmium 0.1~5% by weight, manganese 0.5~
The reason why bismuth and cadmium are set to 5% by weight and 0.5 to 5% by weight of zinc is that bismuth and cadmium improve welding resistance due to their low-temperature sublimation properties, and less than 1% by weight of bismuth and less than 0.1% by weight of cadmium decreases this effect. If cadmium exceeds 20% by weight, the melting point of the alloy will be too low and internal oxidation at high temperatures becomes difficult, and if cadmium exceeds 5% by weight, the welding resistance of silver-bismuth oxide will deteriorate. Manganese is used to improve welding resistance; if it is less than 0.5% by weight, it has no effect, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, layered precipitation occurs, increasing contact resistance and temperature rise. Zinc improves welding resistance due to its thermal stability as an oxide, so if it is less than 0.5% by weight, it has no effect, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, layered precipitation occurs like manganese, which reduces contact resistance and temperature. increase the rise. From the above, within the range of 20% by weight of bismust, 0.1 to 5% by weight of cadmium, 0.5 to 5% by weight of manganese, and 0.5 to 5% by weight of zinc, electrical contact materials with sufficiently satisfactory welding resistance properties can be obtained. is obtained.

Furthermore, other components of the electrical contact material of the present invention include 20% by weight of bismast, 0.1 to 5% by weight of cadmium, 0.5 to 5% by weight of manganese, and 0.5 to 5% by weight of zinc. The reason why group elements are added in an amount of 0.01 to 1% by weight is that when they are dispersed in electrical contact materials, the resulting uniform and fine dispersion of bismuth oxide and cadmium oxide
This is because the contact resistance becomes more stable because the consumption due to discharge becomes uniform. If it is less than 0.01% by weight, bismuth oxide and cadmium oxide will not be uniformly and finely dispersed, and if it exceeds 1% by weight, they will segregate themselves. contact resistance becomes unstable.
