Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve deposition resistance as well as durability by subjecting an Ag alloy to which prescribed percentages of Sn and In are incorporated to internal oxidation to form it into Ag-oxide alloy. CONSTITUTION:An alloy consisting of, by weight, 4.2-5% Sn, 2-8% In, and the balance Ag is refined. Then a rolled sheet of this alloy is heated to a prescribed temp. and internally oxidized to be formed into Ag-oxide alloy. An electric contact material made of this Ag-oxide alloy has superior durability and deposition resistance.

However, these Ag-Ca2 alloys usually contain 6 to 15% of the oxide 4Y, and Cd, which is the main component of the oxide value, is a harmful element.
Since the performance is comparable to that of Ag-Ca2 alloy without using d,
The gist of the present invention is to develop an electrical contact material that is L.

Ag-3nO electrical contact materials, in which Sn oxide is present in the silver alloy, have excellent fire resistance, but when Sn stars reach about 4% in terms of hair ratio, the Sn in the Ag alloy is internally oxidized. It becomes difficult to do this, and the Sn% is 4.2 tons, 41. %, oxide scale will occur on the surface of the alloy and the progress of oxidation will be significantly inhibited.

Therefore, by adding In to Sn, which has a slow diffusion rate in Ag, and adjusting the diffusion rate, Sn grows as appropriate precipitated oxide particles as internal oxidation progresses.
The present invention has made internal oxidation a success.
