Internally oxidized silver-tin based alloys containing Tamakuma% In and/or 0.01-5% BE are widely used today as electrical contacts in various electrical and electronic devices. .

な特性、特に接触抵抗の不安定をもたらすことにもなり
かねない。This type of internally oxidized Ag-SnO alloy is one of the latest and best materials suitable for making electrical contact materials with excellent physical and electrical properties. However, as mentioned above, this type of Ag-SnO alloy contains a relatively large amount of Sn, so when the material has a relatively large volume, oxidized solute metals such as SnO will be absorbed by the outer surface of the material through internal oxidation. It tends to segregate excessively in regions, and on the contrary tends to become sparse in inner regions. Moreover, the segregation of such metal oxides in the silver matrix may lead to instability of the electrical and physical properties, particularly the contact resistance, of the resulting electrical contact material.

い。on the other hand,! ! Electrical contact materials made by powder sintering using powders of metal oxides and metal oxides can avoid the above-mentioned types of segregation. However, materials produced by powder sintering have a rough structure as a natural result of the process, and they wear out quickly even under normal working conditions, making it difficult to make alloys by melting. There is no comparison with internally oxidized products.
(ハ)発明の開示 本発明は、金属酸化物の偏析が実質的になく。(c) Disclosure of the invention The present invention has substantially no segregation of metal oxides.
かつ密な構造を有する内部酸化した銀−酸化錫系合金の
接点材料の製法を提供することを目的とするものである
。Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an internally oxidized silver-tin oxide alloy contact material having a dense structure.

粉末冶金学的につくるものである。That is, in the present invention, powders of 0.5 to 10 weight percent Sn, 0.5 to 15 weight percent SnO2, and the balance @ox percent Ag are mixed, and this mixed powder is sintered into an alloy. The solute metal is internally oxidized to produce an Ag-SnO alloy electrical contact material using powder metallurgy.

とされる。When the sintered alloy contains 4.5% by weight or more of Sn, 0.1 to 5% by weight of In and/or 0.01 to 5% by weight of Bf completely internally oxidizes the Sn. required.
必要によッテは、Cd、Zn、Sb、Mn。If necessary, Cd, Zn, Sb, Mn.

ともできる。Metals capable of forming a solid solution with silver, such as Ca, may be added in a weight percent lower than the total weight of Sn and 5n02, so that properties commensurate with the needs are imparted to the internally oxidized alloy material. Furthermore, the metal structure of the alloy can be made finer by adding an iron group metal.

大であっても同様であり、上記した良好な効果が特に顕
著にみとめられることになる。In the method of this invention, since Sn02 particles are present in the sintered alloy, the m element easily penetrates inward along the 5noy particles and between these particles during internal oxidation, and the rate of internal oxidation is reduced. As a result, the solute metals in the alloy, especially Sn, can be completely internally oxidized without segregation or dilution. In this case, the same holds true even if the volume of the alloy is large, and the above-mentioned good effects are particularly noticeable.
かかる効果に加えて、粉末冶金学的につくられてその構
造がややもすると粗になりがちな合金は、内部酸化時の
溶質金属の酸化による容積膨張のために密な構造となる
。In addition to this effect, alloys that are produced using powder metallurgy and tend to have a coarse structure become denser due to volume expansion due to oxidation of solute metal during internal oxidation.
本発明の方法において、Snと5n02の合計量は好適
には5〜20重雀%装置る。これは、この合計量が5重

である。また、SnO,>、の号が0.5重量%以下で
は内部酸化の速度を早める効果があまりみられなくなり
、Snugの沿を15重量%以、ヒにすると材料が脆く
なってしまう。In the method of the present invention, the total amount of Sn and 5n02 is preferably 5 to 20%. This is because if the total amount is less than 5% by weight, fire resistance that can withstand arcing during contact opening and closing cannot be obtained, and if this total amount is more than 20% by weight, the resulting alloy material tends to become brittle. This is because. Further, if SnO,>, is less than 0.5% by weight, the effect of accelerating the rate of internal oxidation is not so great, and if SnO is less than 15% by weight, the material becomes brittle.
