Description
Patented June 10, 1930 UNITED, STATES PATENT OFFICE JOSEPH BLEPIAN, 0F SWIS SV'ALE, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC 6'5 MANUFACTURING A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA RESISTOR MATERIAL METHOD OF MAKING SAME This invention relates to resistor materials, and is directed to a method of treating materials containing an oxidizable conducting substance in order to control the resistivity thereof. More particularly, my invention relates to the treatment of bodies of relatively high resistance material to increase the resistivity thereof to any desired degree for various applications, such as for resistor plates for the disk pile type of lightning arrester.
The present application is a division and a continuation in part of my copending application, Serial No. 557 ,364, filed April 29, 1922, for resistance plates.
In the above-identified application, I have described the treatment of resistor material, generally in the form of plates, whereby there is incorporated in the plates an oxidizing material which is capable of acting on the carbonaceous ingredient thereof to oxidize the same and thus to increase the resistance of the body. Specifically, I have provided plates or other bodies of a mixture of lampblack, carborundum and kaolin, which is molded to the desired form and then fired to harden th body.
The plates are then placed in a solution of a suita le oxidizing agent, such as chromic acid in water, after which they are dried. The chromic acid does not act on the material at ordinary temperatures to any appreciable degree but, in service, if a discharge through the lightning arrester should accidently cause overheating of any portion thereof, the chromic acid at the high temperature acts upon the carbonaceous material, oxidizing it to the gaseous form and thereby raising the resistance of that portion of the plate which was unduly heated. This is particularly advantageous in that after the lightning discharge has passed, there is no tendency for power current to follow the path of the lightning discharge.
The present invention relates to the process of impregnating the plate material to produce the result. above set forth and also to a further development of the process whereby new and useful results are obtained.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a method of treating bodies of resistor material whereby the resistivity thereof may be increased and Where- No Drawing. Original application filed April 29, 1922, Serial No. 557,364. Divided and this application flledoctober 15, 1923. Serial No. 668,552.
by the degree of increase of resistivity may be closely controlled. I
In the disk-pile lightning arrester, it is desirable that all the platesor disks thereof have uniformly high resistivity in order that the discharge characteristics of the lightning arrester may be the same at all points. In the manufacture of the lightning arrester disks, it is impossible to control the resistivity thereof as closely as is desirable and a considerable proportion of the disks have too low a resistance. Hitherto, it has been customary to raise the resistance of those disks having a low resistivity by heating the same to a red heat in the presence of air or oxygen to burn out some of the lampblack. However, the resulting disks were'not uniform in resistivity, areas of low resistance occurring at intervals along with areas having high resistance. The surfaces of the disks so treated had a higher resistivity than the interior thereof.
The present invention eliminates the disadvantages inherent in the process previously employed in that it results in a moreuniforin increase of the resistivity of the disks. In practising my invention, I provide a solution of a suitable oxidizing agent, preferably one which leaves a relatively non-conducting residue, such as chromic acid, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, potassium permanganate, barium nitrate or the like. The disks are immersed in a solution oftlie oxidizing agent, such as chromic acid, for a sufiicient length of time untilthey have absorbed either a desired amount of solution or until they have become saturated. They are placed in an oven and raised to a suitable temperature, about 300 (1., sufficiently high that oxidation of the carbonaceous material will proceed. This temperature should preferably be below that at which air will act on the material.
The oxidizing process may be continued until all of the oxidizing agent has been utilized to raise the resistance of the material, or the heating may be continued for a sufficient length of time to raise the resistance of the material to the desired degree. Prefer- 1 ably, I add only suflicient oxidizing agent cation above referred to.
In accordance with my invention, I may, instead of immersing the material completely in a solution of the oxidizing agent, impregnate only certain portions thereof with the oxidizing solution, inorder to raise the resistance of any desired part thereof. For instance, my method may be used to increase the resistance of the ribs of the disk or plate structure described in my copending application, Serial No. 536,910, filed February 16, 1922, patented Sept. 23, 1924, No. 1,509,494, for disk structure. To accomplish this, I allow a solution of the oxidizing material to flow upon the rib or projection and simultaneously heat the disk to a suitable temperature to oxidize the carbonaceous material in the rib. If desired, I may first impregnate the rib with the oxidizin solution and then bake in an oven as descri ed above.
It will be noted from the description of my invention that I have provided a method of increasing the resistance of resistor material whereby any desired increase of resistivity thereof may be obtained in an extremely simple manner. The apparatus necessary to accomplish the result is very simple, consisting essentially only of a treating bath and a drying oven. It does not require a skilled operator to treat the material, since all that is necessary for him to do is to immerse the material in the oxidizing solution either until it is saturated or for a predetermined'length of time, and then place the same in the oven until the oxidizing action has been completed or for a predetermined length of time, as desired.
