Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce an electrical contact material having superior resistance to melt sticking and consumption by folding up a thin sheet of a hardly oxidizable Ag alloy, internally oxidizing the folded sheet and working it again into a thin sheet by rolling. CONSTITUTION:An Ag-Sn alloy having a compsn. consisting of 9.5wt.% Sn and the balance Ag is refined and cast into an ingot. This ingot is worked into a thin sheet of 0.1mm thickness by rolling. The thin Ag-Sn alloy sheet is folded up after the surface is degreased. The folded sheet is put in a heating furnace, internally oxidized by heating at 500 deg.C for 30hr and worked into a thin sheet of + or -0.5mm thickness by hot rolling at 800 deg.C. The resulting sheet is blanked as stock to 5mm diameter to produce an electrical contact material. This internally oxidized electrical contact material has a uniform internally oxidized structure and superior resistance to melt sticking and consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an electrical contact material, particularly a method for producing an electrical contact material made of an Ag alloy that is resistant to internal oxidation.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, one of the methods for manufacturing electrical contact materials is a method of internally oxidizing a plate material of an Ag-Sn alloy. When this Ag-Sn alloy is oxidized at high temperatures, an oxide agglomerated layer is formed, which prevents the progress of internal oxidation, so the temperature is relatively low (430°C).
Since oxidation is carried out under high pressure (9 atm), oxidation takes time, and even if oxidation is carried out for 7 days, the oxidation depth is about 0. As the solute metal (Sn) diffuses toward the surface, a large oxide diluted layer is formed in the center. In this way, Ag5nO has a large oxide diluted layer in the center!
Electrical contacts obtained by punching contact materials and brazing them to a base material will rapidly weld and wear out when the thin oxide layer in the center of the contact material is exposed due to wear during use, resulting in premature wear. It becomes unusable.

For this reason, when making an electrical contact material of Ag5nO,
A g-Sn alloy powder was produced, internally oxidized, compressed, sintered, and rolled to produce a plate material. However, the previous oxidation method required high equipment costs and required time and effort, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, the contact material obtained by this pre-oxidation method does not have a dense oxide layer on the contact surface unlike the contact material obtained by the post-oxidation method described above, so it has excellent welding resistance and
The abrasion resistance was not sufficient and was inferior to contact materials obtained by the post-oxidation method.

The electrical contact material of the example thus obtained was
1 to make a disk-shaped contact material, and braze this to the top surface of the rivet-shaped base material to make a rivet-shaped clad electrical contact to make a fixed contact.Meanwhile, the above-mentioned electrical contact material was punched and formed into a diameter of 4 cranes. to make oval contact material,
This was brazed to the top surface of the rivet type base material to create a rivet type clad contact and used as a movable contact, and a contact opening/closing test was conducted under the following test conditions to determine the number of times the contact opens and closes before welding occurs and wear up to 100,000 cycles. When the amount was measured, the results shown in the table below were obtained. In the lower column of the same table, disk-shaped contact materials and oval-shaped contact materials with the same dimensions as in the example were made from conventional electrical contact materials obtained by internally oxidizing AgAg-3 Tsuru 5% alloy plate material, and these were made into rivet-shaped contact materials. A fixed contact and a movable contact of a rivet-type clad contact are made by brazing to a base material, and the contact opening/closing test under the same test conditions shows the number of times the contact opens and closes when welding occurs and the amount of wear up to 100,000 times. .

The number of times the contact opens and closes is
It can be seen that the number of times the contacts are opened and closed due to welding between a fixed contact and a movable contact using conventional electrical contact materials is an order of magnitude higher, and the welding resistance is extremely excellent. Furthermore, in terms of wear resistance up to 10,000 cycles, the fixed contacts and movable contacts using the electrical contact material of the example have significantly superior wear resistance compared to the fixed contacts and movable contacts using the conventional electrical contact material. I understand that.

This is simply because there is no dilute oxide layer inside the contact material of the fixed contact and the movable contact of the example, and there is no variation in the internal oxidation structure.

In the above embodiments, the material is Ag-3 Tsuru alloy, but it is not limited to this, and can be applied to any Ag alloy that is difficult to internally oxidize. However, it goes without saying that the amount of elements added to Ag is naturally limited in terms of contact performance and molding process.

(Effects of the Invention) As can be seen from the above explanation, the method for manufacturing the electrical contact material of the present invention has a short oxidation time because internal oxidation is carried out by folding a Ag alloy into a thin plate. Furthermore, since a thin oxidized layer is not formed in the center, and the folded thin plate material is rolled after internal oxidation, the variation in the internal oxidation structure in the thickness direction is reduced. This has the effect that it is possible to obtain an Ag oxide-based electrical contact material that has improved welding resistance and wear resistance over time.
