Definitions
- the present invention transmits a current from a stationary component to a movable component in a motor such as a DC motor or a micro DC motor, a variable resistor such as a slide switch or a potentiometer, and an electrical contact portion such as a connector such as a slip ring.
- a motor such as a DC motor or a micro DC motor
- a variable resistor such as a slide switch or a potentiometer
- an electrical contact portion such as a connector such as a slip ring.
- a conductive material made of a metal alloy.
- AgPd alloy As the conductive material used in the above fields, AgPd alloy (Ag 30 to 70% by mass, particularly Ag-50% by mass Pd alloy) has been widely used.
- the AgPd alloy has not only excellent corrosion resistance but also low contact resistance, which is suitable for conductive materials. Further, the AgPd alloy is a solid solution type alloy having a face-centered cubic structure and is relatively easily plastically deformed and has good workability.
- the conductive material in sliding contact is subjected to plastic deformation due to sliding stress on the outermost surface thereof, and an altered layer in which the metal structure is finely stirred is formed.
- an altered layer in which the metal structure is finely stirred is formed.
- the effects of frictional heat due to rotation and heat due to arc discharge Will also receive.
- the influence of these heats also causes the deterioration of the metal structure.
- FIG. 10 is a result of observing the appearance of an altered layer formed on the outermost surface of a sliding member made of an AgPd alloy after actual use. As shown in FIG. 10, the existence of an altered layer due to plastic deformation or thermal influence can be confirmed within a range of about 10 ⁇ m from the outermost surface of the conductive material.
- the consumption of the sliding member made of a conductive material is caused by the above-mentioned deteriorated layer portion of the material surface being unable to withstand external forces such as sliding stress and arc energy, and becoming a consumable powder and falling off. Due to such a mechanism of wear, it is required for the conductive material forming the sliding member to have improved wear resistance and heat resistance.
- Patent Document 1 As a method of refining the crystal grains of an AgPd alloy with a trace amount of additional elements, a method of adding 3% by mass or less of Ni, Fe, and Co is disclosed (Patent Document 1). When a trace amount of these elements are added to the AgPd alloy, fine particles of PdFe, PdNi, and PdCo grow at the crystal grain boundaries of the AgPd matrix, and the crystal grains of the matrix become fine. This can be expected to improve the strength characteristics of the material and prevent softening of the material surface during sliding.
- Patent Document 2 a method of adding 1 to 5 mass% of an additive element such as Al, Mn, Ga, In, Sn, Zn, Pb is disclosed (Patent Document 2). ⁇ 4).
- Pd and an intermetallic compound are generated at the grain boundaries of the AgPd matrix.
- This intermetallic compound has a crystal structure different from the face-centered cubic AgPd matrix, has high strength, is difficult to deform, and exhibits the effect of improving the rigidity of the alloy.
- the grain refinement and precipitation strengthening by the above-mentioned trace addition elements are recognized to have certain effects in improving the wear resistance and heat resistance of the AgPd alloy. However, it cannot be said to be sufficient, assuming a more severe usage environment for the sliding member.
- precipitation strengthening using an intermetallic compound has the effect of strengthening the material rather than the above-mentioned grain refinement.
- the intermetallic compound precipitated by the elements exemplified above is generated according to the alloy composition (mixing ratio of the additional element).
- the compounding ratio of the additional elements By increasing the compounding ratio of the additional elements, the amount of precipitation of the intermetallic compound increases and the effect of precipitation strengthening increases, but the workability deteriorates and manufacturing of the sliding member becomes difficult.
- the compounding ratio is such that workability does not occur, the effect of improving the material properties becomes insufficient, and it is not possible to extend the life of the conductive material. That is, with this conventional technique, it is difficult to easily adjust the amount of precipitation.
- the intermetallic compound expressed here is deposited by a mechanism different from aging precipitation due to spinodal decomposition or the like, it is difficult to control the particle size. Therefore, there is a limit in improving wear resistance and heat resistance while ensuring workability.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the conductive material based on AgPd alloy has improved rigidity and recrystallization characteristics as compared with the prior art while ensuring processability. Disclose materials. And it aims at providing the electrically conductive material which is excellent in abrasion resistance and heat resistance also in the electrical contact part with a large mechanical and electrical load.
- MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM This invention which solves said subject WHEREIN: 10 mass% or more and 70 mass% or less Ag, Pd 30 mass% or more and 90 mass% or less, Ni more than 5 mass% and 45 mass% or less, and electroconductivity which consists of an unavoidable impurity.
- An AgPd alloy phase and a PdNi alloy phase, and the volume ratio of the PdNi alloy phase is 18% by volume or more and 80% by volume or less.
- the addition amount of Ni is limited to a trace amount range (3% by mass or less).
- the reason for limiting the amount of the added element is to make the crystal grains finer while considering the difference in solid solubility between the metals Ag, Pd, and Ni. That is, Pd can form a solid solution with respect to Ag to form an alloy (AgPd).
- Ni hardly forms a solid solution in Ag but can form a solid solution in Pd to form an alloy (PdNi).
- the grain refinement of the AgPd alloy by the addition of Ni proceeds from the separation phase (PdNi) in the matrix as a starting point to disperse the minute separation phase. If the amount of Ni that is hard to form a solid solution with Ag forming the matrix is large, a coarse separation phase is excessively generated, which hinders the refinement of crystal grains. Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, the minute addition phase is limited to a very small amount to disperse the fine separated phase in the homogeneous AgPd alloy matrix to make the crystal grain fine.
- Ni is intentionally added to the AgPd alloy in a high concentration range.
- Ni is an element that does not form a solid solution in Ag, but can form a solid solution in Pd.
- the entire alloy can be strengthened by appropriately controlling the amount of the PdNi alloy phase, which is a separated phase generated by the addition of Ni, with respect to the matrix (AgPd alloy).
- the material strengthening by the PdNi alloy phase is effective in increasing the rigidity as well as improving the maximum stress and proof stress. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that an appropriate amount of the PdNi alloy phase improves the recrystallization temperature and is effective in improving the heat resistance of the alloy.
- the AgPd alloy containing the appropriate amount of Ni according to the present invention has a secure workability. This effect is based on the fact that the PdNi alloy phase focused on in the present invention has a high deformability with respect to the intermetallic compound in the above precipitation strengthening (Patent Documents 2 to 4).
- the PdNi alloy phase has a face-centered cubic structure similar to the matrix AgPd alloy and tends to deform with the matrix when the entire alloy undergoes plastic deformation. By setting the amount of PdNi alloy phase in the alloy within an appropriate range, workability can be ensured.
- the present invention is characterized in that Ni is added to the AgPd alloy at a relatively high concentration to form a multiphase alloy in which the AgPd alloy phase and the PdNi alloy phase are compounded. .. That is, the conductive material according to the present invention has characteristics based on the alloy composition in the Ni content and the like and characteristics based on the metal structure related to the multiphase alloy. The composition and metallic structure of the conductive material according to the present invention will be described in detail below.
- the conductive material according to the present invention is made of AgPdNi alloy containing three elements of Ag, Pd and Ni as essential constituent elements.
- the composition range of this AgPdNi alloy is such that Ag is 10% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less, Pd is 30% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less, and Ni is more than 5% by mass and 45% by mass or less.
- the present invention limits the compounding ratio of Ni and Ag to the AgPdNi alloy having the above composition range. Specifically, the ratio of the Ni content (mass %) to the Ag content (mass %) (Ni (mass %)/Ag (mass %)) is within the range of 0.1 or more and 5.0 or less.
- composition ratio of the AgPdNi alloy applied in the present invention was set within the above range, and the compounding ratio of Ni and Ag was further set so that the AgPd alloy phase and the PdNi alloy phase were dispersed evenly, This is to obtain an AgPdNi alloy having a metal structure.
- the AgPd alloy phase and the PdNi alloy phase are essentially immiscible alloy phases. If a large disparity occurs between the liquid phase density and the solidus temperature between the two alloy phases, the tendency of separation increases during casting, making it difficult to manufacture a homogeneous and uniform metal ingot.
- the liquidus density ratio (liquidus density of PdNi alloy phase/liquidus density of AgPd alloy phase) is in the range of 0.95 to 1.00, and the solidus temperature is By generating the AgPd alloy phase and the PdNi alloy phase such that the difference between the two is less than 100° C., a uniform metal mass can be obtained. Then, in order to generate each alloy phase satisfying this condition for the AgPdNi alloy, the alloy composition is set in the above range and the compounding ratio for the Ni content and the Ag content is specified.
- the composition of the AgPd alloy phase produced according to the alloy composition and the compounding ratio specified in the present invention is such that Ag is 30% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less, Ni is 0% by mass or more and 1% by mass or less, and the balance is Pd and unavoidable. It is an impurity.
- PdNi alloy phase Pd is 40% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less, Ag is 0% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less, and the balance is Ni and inevitable impurities.
