Abstract

PURPOSE:To control the adhesive property and to improve wear resistance by adding prescribed percentages of C, B, Si, Ge, Tl and Fe group element to Ag. CONSTITUTION:A sliding contact point material is obtd. by adding 0.1-5wt% C and 0.5-10wt% one or more among B, Si, Ge and Tl to Ag. An Fe group element may be substituted for part (0.01-0.5wt%) of said added elements. The adhesion of the contact material during sliding action is suppressed and wear resistance is improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to improvements in sliding contact materials.

(Prior art and problems) Ag-Cd alloy has conventionally been used as one of the sliding contact materials, but Ag-Cd alloy adheres during sliding operation and does not have sufficient wear resistance (this Ag-Cd alloy When a contact piece on the outer periphery of a commutator of a small motor is made of Cd alloy and used, abrasion powder is generated due to sliding action with the brush contact, causing noise generation.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made to eliminate such drawbacks, and provides a sliding contact material that suppresses the adhesion of Ag-Cd alloy, improves wear resistance, and has low and stable contact resistance. This is what we intend to provide.

(Structure of the Invention) The sliding contact material of the present invention has 0.1 to 5% by weight of C and 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one of B + Si, Ge, and T I added to Ag. It is made up of

In addition, some of the additive elements of the sliding contact material of the present invention are 0.01
-0.5% by weight of Fe group elements (Fe, Co.

Ni) may be substituted.

In the sliding contact material of the present invention, 0.1
The reason for adding up to 5% by weight of C is to improve the wear resistance of Ag; if it is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect will not appear, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, it will be difficult to process. In addition, at least one of B, St, Ge, and TL is added at 0.5 to 10
The reason for adding 10% by weight is that the oxides of the above elements generated during the sliding action act as lubricants and improve wear resistance. If it exceeds the range, a large amount of oxides will be generated, resulting in high contact resistance and instability. Furthermore, some of the added elements are added to 0.0
Fe group elements (F, e, Co.

When substituted with Ni), the crystal grains can be refined and the wear resistance can be further improved. If it is less than 0.01% by weight, the grains cannot be refined, and if it exceeds 0.5% by weight, the alloy will deteriorate. Instead, it precipitates as a single large lump in Ag, and no further effect can be obtained.

(Embodiments and Conventional Examples) A contact piece for a commutator of a small motor made of a sliding contact material according to the present invention and a conventional sliding contact material will be described.

A commutator 1 of a small motor having a diameter of 12 fi and a length of 8 fl as shown in the drawings was prepared using the sliding contact material according to the embodiment of the present invention and the conventional sliding contact material having the component compositions shown in the left column of the table below.
A contact piece 1a with a thickness of 2 mm is formed on the outer periphery of the contact piece 1a, and two brush wires made of Au-Ag-Cu-Pt with a diameter of 0.7 m and a length of 8 mm are placed above and below the outer peripheral surface of the contact piece 1a. A rotation test was carried out on the commutator 1 under the test conditions described below, with the brush contacts 3 having the brush contacts 3 facing each other facing each other, and the wear amount and contact resistance of the contact piece 1a were measured. The results shown in the column were obtained.

Test conditions Voltage: DC12V Current: 0.8A Commutator rotation speed: 1000rpm Commutator rotation time Near time Brush contact contact crab 100g (blank below) As is clear from the table above, the conventional contact It can be seen that the amount of wear on the contact piece of the example is significantly reduced compared to the amount of wear on the piece, indicating that it has excellent wear resistance. Furthermore, it can be seen that the contact resistance of the commutator having the contact pieces of the example is lower and more stable than the contact resistance of the commutator having the contact pieces of the conventional example.

(Effects of the Invention) As detailed above, the sliding contact material of the present invention is resistant to adhesion and has excellent wear resistance. There are excellent effects such as extremely little generation of abrasion powder, therefore no noise, and low and stable contact resistance.
